> I can't eat with my Chinese colleagues.
Now imagine marrying a brilliant, gorgeous Chinese woman who slurps and snorts and air-swallows. Drives me & the kids berserk. Her father is even worse. Shudder.
For me and the kids it’s a private joke but the rage part hits when she eats in public. Noiseless! What’re we, chopped liver?
I also have a bunch of other stupid problems like that. Extreme aversion to coffee breath and onion or garlic breath; having to remove shirt tags; inability to sit through out-of-tune musical performers; physical reaction to voices; ability to identify people by smell, etc.
