Pet Peeves

"Smelly Jones" is a very tall man. He spits when he talks and he laughs like a frog. I asked him one day "Do you have time to bathe? Why do you smell rubbish or is that your perfume?" He gestured politely with a grin on his face. I can tell he was reluctant but he answered anyway. "I am a busy man, I come and I go. No time to take a bath or wash my own clothes. See my slimy hair and my dirty shirt? Never got the nerve to wash them because of my hectic schedule."

"Know-it-all Ramon" talks like he knows everything. He walks like a boss and he thinks he's got the looks. He tends to preach nonsense in front of his comrades, he could barely notice their mocking expressions. I wonder why he thinks he is above all? Did his parents ever told him to be nice and be humble?

"Loud Chewer Maurice" never fails to surprise me. His noisy gestures and clumsy traits are indeed mind-boggling. One afternoon, he sat and placed his snacks on his desk. He took a bite of his sandwich, I was flabbergasted. Never thought it was the start of an epic meal time.

"Munch, munch, munch..." like a starving gorilla. It was loud and very disturbing.

Okay, I get it! He must be hungry. But is it an excuse for lack of table manners? It might not be a big deal to some people yet still I wonder... 

"Does chewing loudly improves the flavor of the food?"
