If it stops people eating lunch at their desk, I'm all for it. I've started timing my lunches to coincide with some people near me so I don't have to experience them eating lunch at their desks.
- vbuwivbiu 8y ago<shudder> eating at desks must stop
- elyobo 8y agoWhy? Genuinely curious. Couldn't care less if people near me eat at their desks.

- scribu 8y agoFor me it's the smells. Whether it's a scent I love or hate, it's very distracting.
- EliRivers 8y agoFor me, it's the slurping and the rustling and the crunching. And cutlery tapping against plates and teeth. And the wet sound of someone moving food around inside their mouth with their tongue; cheeks and lips flexing and slurping against each other because they took too large a mouthful, barely even looking at their food because they're staring at something else. And the snorts of breath around it as they need to keep breathing around a mouthful of food. And the sound of teeth clicking together as they munch too hard. Greasy fingers wiping on themselves or their desks if they even bother to wipe them before tapping away again at a keyboard. Back of a hand scraping across their face to remove detritus.
