Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I have worked with a coworker for almost a year at this point and whenever I have a lunch break with them they always chew awfully loud with their mouth open, Unfortunately during most mornings they would bring gum and the same situation would occur. I used to be able to block it out either with a TV show or Youtube video i was watching but it has gotten to the point that it was making me feel unwell while and after eating my lunch.

On this particular day during one lunch break i couldn't stand it anymore i asked if they could possibly not chew with their mouth open, i didn't explain my reasoning because i didn't think i needed to but they followed up with "why?"
I explained it made me uncomfortable and feeling unwell and i would appreciate if they stopped.

The following day i had a stern talking to from a higher up about insulting and bullying other employees, i accepted my fate and apologised to the employee but i feel i was not at wrong in this certain situation, Am i the asshole?
