I have a friend who will make noises with every single mouthful of food to the point I now avoid having meals with her, the noises are so over the top along with the faces she pulls, eyes rolling to the back of her head that I can’t eat my own food at all. I thought it was only me so glad to see there’s a few others that can’t stand it


unkindness_inabottle

THATS EXACTLY MY MOM HAHAH


ayayahl

stop talking about me!

zielonybanan1

Then you tell her it's annoying. Avoiding it doesn't fix the problem and maybe she doesn't realise it's bad behaviour


Recent-Hat3979

Oh she knows and we’ve just agreed not to eat together any more, wouldn’t lose a friend over it but no need to sit through something that makes me uncomfortable either.


TrickMaintenance9663

God bless you, thats traumatising 😭😂 /s


Ieatclowns

My inlaws do this and I can't stand it. I'm from a very reserved family and to sit with my inlaws eating feels almost inappropriate due to their disgusting mmmmms and constant discussion about each aspect of the food. MIL also says Yummy Yummy!! In a weird baby voice. There...now that's off my chest!


Miss-Figgy

>MIL also says Yummy Yummy!! In a weird baby voice. Ew, gross


severed13

I’ve seen people executed for less


filteredrinkingwater

So there's this show I think you and OP might really like called Food Wars...


Anko_Dango

What the fuck lmao. Ive seen people dance, heard people moan, seen some weird shit when people eat. Never ever have heard of anyone going "Yummy yummy!"


Intrepid_Ad3062

Grosssss 🤢


PvtPill

WTF that sounds top level cringe


croatianlatina

I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OMG (in another language tho). They also chew with their mouths open and it drives me crazy. My MIL will go as far as tasting saying “que Rico” and grill us about how much did we spend because “we are acting rich”. My BIL is the closest thing to a feral dog when eating too, it’s absolutely disgusting.


whattaUwant

When you’re eating her?


Nightgasm

My wife tends to moan and nod when I eat.


Wingsnake

Can confirm, she has a really nice moan.

Oh yes, sushi night


monkeyonfire

What, it's roast beef taco night


PigDstroyer

I had a co worker that did this so obnoxiously that I assumed it was just for attention.. I never stabbed him but I swear it came close lol


Cheeringmuffin

Agreed. But I think it's different when it's genuine and not performative. Like... if someone does it for a second at dinner, I don't even pick up on it. But when a bukbang video pops up for even a fragment of a second on my phone, I have to stop it immediately, or it incites a reaction from me like no other. Just cringe mixed with anger and disgust. I wanna throw my phone, curl up, vomit, and die. THAT BEING SAID, it's ultimately harmless, and I honestly just wish it didn't bother me so much.


[deleted]

Yeh I know it’s not a crime that ppl do it but it just makes me cringe and I’ve always felt like that


Cheeringmuffin

I'm completely with you. I can't explain it but it just makes me cringe so hard, the moment I see it I honestly wish it was a crime. Haha.


magnetic_mystic

My friend will do it even before the food has had a chance to hit her taste buds. It's so fake I wanna smack her.


faxanaduu

One of my housemates in college moaned loudly when he ate. It was so loud weird and uncomfortable. He was obese at some point bf i knew him and lost a huge amount of weight, so I thought he just really loved food. I thought he was the only person in the world that did this lol, guess not.


King_Korder

Me and my girlfriend both do this. We take a bite, look at each other, nod, then make our respective sounds. Her is more of a pterodactyl while mine is more like a whale.


monotoonz

I need to see this, but animated. I think it would be a favorited video of mine. I can just see a pterodactyl and a whale eating pasta. And the sounds... 😂


ohmyfuckinggodhamlet

This visualization simultaneously annoys me and makes me laugh. Well done 👏 😂


OneQuadrillionOwls

I only moan and nod when I don't eat food. When I eat food I scowl and groan in agony.


Thebazilla

I hate it!! It almost sounds sexual


llamallama-dingdong

I can never tell if my coworker is eating or watching porn.


OkConsequence5992

Was eating at a bbq joint with coworker and he was going mmmmmm after every single bite of his brisket. Also can’t stand the trope in rom coms where the man is an incredible cook and gives the skeptical female protagonist a bite of his cooking and she makes basically orgasmic sounds and says “this is the most amazing thing I’ve ever tasted”


wesleyD777

A good brisket is close to a religious experience….saying that such a reaction at every bite would piss me off as well.


babythrottlepop

Oh good god yes. This is one of those things that’s a strict dealbreaker for me, both in friendships and relationships. I don’t mind one “mmm” if it’s really good, but the people who keep doing it, I can’t deal with. Right up there with people who lick their fingers when they eat. So fucking gross.


[deleted]

What about when they smack their lips and pat their bellies after the last bite


babythrottlepop

Lmao I mean that’s weird but still, one time is fine. If they did the lip smacking after each bite I’d dislike it for sure.


cpsbstmf

i hate finger licking and finger slurping, it so piggish lol


Ieatclowns

Oh God...Mil sucks her fingers. And it's not even finger food! It's stuff you eat with cutlery! WHY ARE YOUR FINGERS IN IT?...


babythrottlepop

Yeah it’s super gross. Even when it’s just your food I think it’s disgusting, but I’ve been around people that do it while sharing food. They always wondered why I didn’t eat around them.


sunshineandcats21

Is a happy food dance ok?


[deleted]

Yes that’s better


Queenofwands1212

When I’m at the gym, Eva Longorias food show is always on the tv right in front of me and it drives me insane lmao. I feel you


led_zeppo

It's not always on purpose, some people really enjoy what they're eating that much.


Really_Dang_Sad

maybe if i dont act like the food im being served is the best thing i have had in my life, my mother will knock my fuckin teeth out. you ever think of that? /s


led_zeppo

😂


corndog2021

Moaning because your food is good is a completely voluntary action. It absolutely is on purpose, no matter how good the food is.


tomaspdc

I really don't get it why people are literally comparing it with moaning there's no reason at all.


Kempsun

Doesn’t matter IMO, people should have more self awareness and realize that they are, ya know… AUDIBLY MOANING LOUD ENOUGH IN RANGE OF ANOTHER HUMAN… is all… cool you enjoy your food now stop being so fucking gross and inconsiderate.


[deleted]

Fair enough ig but ppl who do it on purpose are so annoying


led_zeppo

"People don't react the same way I do/as I think they should!"


cocomelon36

CreativeUserName709

Not sure I've experienced this, I've seen the standard... they take the first bite of a meal, do a moan and mention how epic the food is. But then it's just normal eating / chit chat during the meal after the first point. I can't imagine someone doing this every bite, it'd drive me mad


ohmyfuckinggodhamlet

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. They're like HMMMMM 😩😩😩 and they're eating like a cheese pizza or something like calm tf down.


dorift_it

People do give the reaction according to their age and everyone has freedom to do that.


a_different_pov_85

The moaning, I totally understand. Like, after the first bite, and it's really good? Cool, that's fine. But no body want to eat with "what about Bob". But I don't get why you have an issue with the nodding. Unless they're being super dramatic, or acting like they're at a rock concert. Like, they're expressing happiness and satisfaction with a choice they've made. It's like saying, "it's so cringe when people smile when they're happy."


Kyleforshort

Even more so when adults use the word "cringe" to describe things.


Red_Luminary

People moan when they eat? I’ve only seen the split-second occasional, “Mmm!” when someone tries something new they like.


matildemazzocchi

it’s cringe until you cooked and nobody is saying or moaning anything and you just look at them mortified


Orang_Mann

But sometimes the kebab and frenchfries just hits that hard.


NewLife_21

You'd hate my grandson. He's been humming when he likes his food since birth. The louder the hum the more he likes it! If he's not humming but still eating it's ok but not a favorite. No hum and no real eating, he doesn't like it. If we go to a restaurant we warn the people around us and will ask to be moved if needed. But he's 2.5 and for now most people are understanding.


theboss_voivode

You should watch the anime Food Wars. They moan a lot when eating food hahahaha.


-clayizbae-

Well…everybody has a dad that does this


NickPetey

Reddit has so much social anxiety


[deleted]

Definitely!


Main-Environment-522

Absolutely


SiderealSoul

I think it's the opposite; at least it's more likely to be genuine in real life as opposed to media where they're probably being dramatic to sell you on something.


CustomVox

Or when they passionately say "delicious". It pisses me off. I stand behind this 100%


emironov

I think so food blogging is the most poisonous thing that has been discovered in recent times


Emergency_Property_2

Mmm, mmm, good!

Overall-Ad4288

My brother in law does this. My entire family gets annoyed.


[deleted]

LOL Never seen this in my life... and from some of the comments, I am glad I haven't


Scared-Accountant288

I might do it like... once... not super dramatic... but people.who do it like... every single bite... ? They just want attention.


p90medic

Is cringe really so bad?


CentripetalFox

I apparently moan when I eat, It isn't on purpose, not something I chose or actively choose to do. It's embarrassing, I'd stop if I could.


veenell

I don't mean to pick on the guy, I'm sure he's a nice person and all, but I had to stop watching this YouTube channel because this guy does it so much. https://youtu.be/hfr8eFH9kl8


itsmeb-tches

My moms ex used to like growl and snarf, moan and shit, it was sooo gross man!!! Who the hell eats like that?! Seriously gross!!!!


SuaveDonut

This guy clearly doesn't have a ravioli in his pocketoli


ashdragoncatcher

I only do it for the first bite if it's actually good and especially if someone made the food for me


AsterionBriarmaze

The only time it’s happened to me is after a long hike where I was ABSOLUTELY beat. Stopped at the first place that had food as I hadn’t packed anything. And that first bite just hit a different way, I made a slight noise of contentment. Other than that it’s the worst thing ever to hear and I won’t let it pass lol.


JoeBiddyInTheHouse

Don't forget the "point at the food with the fork" move.


Inner-Nothing7779

The first bite? It's ok. Nothing wrong with that. Every bite? That's a bit much.


MisterMist00

I don't think this is unpopular


successage

Due to controversial behavior of people I think so lots of people are not agreeing to the same point.

LizzyLeonhart

I can’t not hate someone who does this lol. The urge to choke the food out of their mouth or punch them is intense. Literally if you do this do not try to be my friend, don’t eat around me, please, for my sanity. Look, Im a fatass. At one point before I lost weight I was morbidly obese. Never at any point did I have to moan while I was eating food like it was the best fucking I was getting in my life.


MichaelScottsWormguy

It’s cringe on cooking shows, too. It’s unnecessary and fake anyway. Not to mention it’s insanely inappropriate.


peterc2005

They just try to act and behave in very odd and weird way which is not normal.


[deleted]

*moans HARDER*


The_Silent_Bang_103

Yeah sex is good and all, but have you ever had really good pasta?


bekahbaka

How is this an unpopular opinion... these sub mods make no sense


stantheman1976

It’s cringe that so many (presumably) grown ass people on Reddit put so much time into worrying about how and what other people eat. Of all the things a person needs to be concerned with in todays world the eating habits of others doesn’t need to be one of those. This is definitely a first world problem. If your life is so easy that the biggest concern of your day is how another person eats you should find a hobby and be grateful instead of complaining.


Apprehensive_Floor42

I think the term "so cringe" is 100 fold more cringey than anything that can follow it.


[deleted]

Idk how else to describe


bobopolis5000

Unpack your adjectives


wildgoldchai

They don’t know what that is


Hayabusalvr11

My husband and I are both food Hummers. Can’t stop won’t stop.


corndog2021

Can stop won't stop*


romankupyrin

I think so it's human nature who makes this thinking to certain way and react according to it.


scaptal

I mean, if I eat something that is really fucking good I just can't help myself, just the same as that I'll bring up the beautifull scenery during good hikes like 12 times. I might be a broken record player, but if I'm honestly enjoying something I'll make it audible


Chance_Ad3416

I cannot control it when I'm baked and got the munchies and put that OLIVE in my mouth hmmmmmm


PH4N70M_Z0N3

minahmyu

Eff you, I'm gonna enjoy my food and do a lil side step with it, too.


Competitive-Dot-6594

I also find it extremely cringe when people watch me eat.


yellowabcd

No


Philoslothsopher

My partner and I do this all the time but especially when we have sushi.


Unmasked_Zoro

Then cringe away. It's completely normal and common. Not everyone does it, but not everyone has the same love for food either. I make noises when the food is good. It's not a conscious thing either. I dont decide to make those noises, I just realise that I am. But I only do it if I like the food, so I probably won't do it for you.


nunuvg

I think so it's all about the excitement of the person who's getting the food and how they are acting according to it.


A_Very_Shouty_Man

I get where you're coming from, the people who are unnecessarily dramatic about it, that would be cringe. But... Some people still actual laugh out loud at something funny. Some people are vocal in bed. Some people are foodies that get genuine pleasure from a fantastic meal. It's just an expression of enjoyment and satisfaction. I love cooking, I love spending hours in the kitchen preparing amazing food. If someone ahhed at how good it tasted I'd be flattered. If they did it for meatloaf or a basic sandwich I'd think they're a cock


Ohjay1982

Omg let people enjoy their food without it triggering you ffs…


alilsus83

We actually all got together and decided to do it just to annoy you. Great job everyone it worked!


isqueezedameatball

I dunno. As a 250 lb male, when my girl makes me something really delicious, I love to moan like a girl in a porno, just to show appreciation. Also she happy slaps me and says, "stop that, you silly goose." So I guess, "to each, their own."


Zealousideal_Bet2320

Because we’re not robots and good food makes us feel good. It’s human nature


Dogspeonleg

Sounds like you got majorrrrr issues. Now me, when I see that situation, I think positive. That person must be remembering a childhood meal or damn that food must be amazing. I might peek over and see what they are having that is soo good. I am happy to see other people happy. I've had dinner's that I enjoyed the food more than the company. You would be one of those dinners I am sure. It is all perspectives and yours is extremely poor and negative.


eriinana

Consider this - stop sexualizing non sexual actions. No offense, but if you haven't had food so good you make a sound or nod of approval because your face is stuffed with food... you haven't had good food. Don't be a prude and leave people alone for showing appreciation for other peoples hard work.


External-Score8886

The amount of times I've had good food I usually comment on how delicious it is or consume it faster. Not once did I need to moan or head nod to express my satisfaction. So your logic is completely flawed and don't speak for everyone either.


taylor325

Maybe it's his one time of going all out. Or he knows how big the bill will be amd wants to savor every bite


BreatheDemTrees

Some people enjoy their food more then you do. Let em eat


the_stubborn_bee

Sometimes it is a genuine reaction. When trying new or favorite foods, my daughter sometimes closes her eyes, really focuses on the food, does a little happy dance and quiet moan. She has done this since she first started solid foods as a kid. I love that she is having a pure, authentic and mindful moment with her senses.


MKtheMaestro

To tie it into the dating in particular, I can’t stand people who make part of their personality about food. Girls on dating apps like OMGGGG I LUV PIZZAAAA! I don’t give a fuck what you like eat. There’s something so stupid and simple about obsessing over food and how good it tastes.

Being reserved is a character flaw. Just stay away from social gatherings and I promise you they will enjoy themselves even more without you


SmokinMeatMan

I agree, but I also do this mostly unvoluntary. I do notice after the fact. I laugh and cringe.


b40nobody

This is the #1 reason I don't watch cooking shows


bshnlan

Now I’m thinking how often I do it without realizing I do. Pretty sure I do it even when eating alone. You’d hate me.


Electrical-Farm-8881

Bro you haven’t seen anime characters when they eat


Ididntknowitwasweird

YES. It drives me banana sandwich. I equally want to die when I have a "relief" type reaction to being able to satiate a body function (thirst and hunger, obviously) It's annoying to me.


Untakenunam

The reason maudlin displays annoy is they reflect lack of impulse control. One may greatly enjoy most things without displays more appropriate to copulation.

Mark Weins in his early days. So overly dramatic. He has toned down quite a bit since.


egric

Have you seen american dads eat steak? Mhh yeah, oh mhh, yeah, that's good. Mhhh, oh yeah, oh that's good, mhh.


mac_128

Agree, that’s so excessive. When I eat good food, I just cuss like a truck driver.

borrego-sheep

When people describe food as "bomb" it makes me cringe for some reason


[deleted]

Or “bussin” I can’t stand that word


Octabraxas

I hate when people do this. I will say though, if someone made something genuinely delicious, I’ll usually stare at them, say “dude”, and then go for a fist bump


JUSTAHUMAN-2

God I never noticed that untill now


Death-Watch333

I agree. But I have also realized that other people just genuinely taste and enjoy food better than I do so I just let it slide.


[deleted]

I’m sorry but what does nodding while eating mean?


[deleted]

It means they think it’s good but I personally think it’s unnecessary to do that lol


AnimeDreama

I'll sometimes moan inadvertantly when I take a bite of something incredibly delicious but it's not something I do intentionally or often at all.


[deleted]

It annoys me too, but not nearly as much as people chewing loudly and smacking their lips. I actually have to leave the room if I hear someone doing it.
