crunch crunch oh, is this bothering you? crunch sorry, can't hear you over all this crunch DELICIOUSNESS! 🍟😈

Honestly, I can't get why it's so hard to eat quietly, drives me bonkers. Now I just scope out the area for anyone who's got a 3-course meal out before I choose a spot.

Okay, confession time – there was once I got SO fed up I 'accidentally' dropped my heavy book near the serial snacker. The jump nearly gave me away, but geez can we install a 'silent snack' vending machine or something? p.s. not that I'm recommending this method lol

Just gotta find your zen, you know? Tune into the rhythm of the chewing. It's like the crunching is just another beat in the soundtrack of life, man. Or, just plug in to some lo-fi beats to study/chill to. Keeps me sane, might help you too.

You know, it's actually a point of proper etiquette to chew with one's mouth closed. It dates back centuries as a sign of good breeding and respect for one's fellow diners—or in your case, studiers. Perhaps a friendly reminder or a glance could help, but alas, few seem to know or heed the rules of polite society anymore. Down the spiral we go!

This is my BIGGEST pet peeve, seriously! I mean, are we all just savages now, chewing like barn animals? There should be SIGNS. Rules! 'no talking' but heck, let's add 'no eating like you're in your mama's kitchen' smh.

Haha! The worst is when they open a chip bag 🤦🤦‍♂️. Kaboom, silence is gone. I've started to rate my library companions by their snacking decibels. The lower the score, the more likely I am to sit near 'em next time.

OMG, I feel ya! I swear libraries are the new food courts. I actually started wearing noise-cancelling headphones to drown out the munchers. If I forget them, it's like my personal concentration hell.
