I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! My good friend and coworker, whom I sit with at breaks every day is driving me MAD. He smacks his gums when he eats and I just can't take it! I'm going to have to stop sitting with him, I need a good excuse!

Good friend? Tell him the truth. He needs to know. You probably aren't the only one he is annoying to the point of avoiding him.

Sometimes people are just sensitive as a defense so others won't "hurt their feelings". But, you're his friend and would know best. I think avoiding him and not sitting with him any longer might hurt his feelings as well; maybe more than hearing the truth?
Vette, start a conversation about things that annoy you. If that doesn't work, be direct.
New kitty! How sweet.
Humid and hot, here. It's awesome.

Hi friend, I'm sorry but I just can't sit at lunch with you if you continue to make all that noise. You probably don't even realize you are doing it. Can you practice not doing so? I can see the food chewing and everything. tends to gross me out.
