Co-Worker Eats with Mouth Open - Help!

I sit opposite a guy at work who eats at his desk, and his chews his food wetly and loudly with his mouth open. I can see every single mastication of his cheese sandwiches. He smacks his lips and belches. Ugh ugh ugh.

He has his headphones in, so it's totally possible that he has no idea how loud and repugnant he's being, but I'm kinda reaching the end of my tether.

Basically, what I'm asking is - is there ever a polite way to ask someone to stop eating like a pig? And if so, how?!

    Gross. i think maybe you should just tell him or just hide his sandwiches everyday so he is forced to go out. :smile:

    All you can really do is Ask him to stop. Beyond that you just gotta deal with it I guess.

    Do it back to him. Lol, while making direct eye contact! Jk, you have to talk to him! He might not know!
