my cubicle neighbor at work really bothers me . he eats all day long and is always chewing loud foods with his mouth open ! i can barely think with him chomping like a cow ! i hate that . that 's one of my biggest pet peeves . that 's such an awkward situation , because you do n't want to come off as high maintenance and ask them to stop , but it 'd be so easy for them to have better manners , too . i wish i had better advice . maybe go to hr ? i could go to hr , but i do n't want to be `` that guy '' if you know what i mean . yeah , absolutely . that 's what i meant earlier , too , about being high maintenance . i do n't know , maybe earbuds ? but i 'm sure you 've tried that . who knows how they would respond if you asked them personally , and if they actually did improve , they 'd probably just forget and revert back in a few days anyway .
