As you already know I like to compare my not normal self to other normal beings  One thing I find absaloutly facinating is how normal people consider it bad mannered to burp whilst eating. I reckon its a load of crap cos if you say "excuse me" then you are only saying a word after it, doesnt really mean anything etc, Yet why is it socially "acceptable" for humans to eat and drink the way they do? Ive studied this and I see it everywhere, for example when people eat its as though they make the best effort to make as much noise as possible, even worse when you hear them breathing  same goes for tea drinkers, I hate the disgusting way people "slurp" hot drinks  whenever I drink hot drinks I can manage to drink it without making a single sound, so why is this not deemed as "bad manners"???? is it normal to slurp? IMO I see a short burp more polite than slurping  grrrr What traits have humans on here seen that annoys?  Also with the food thing eating crisps for example, I hate how people make a racket by rustling and then crunching so loud it just makes me want to smack them over the head with a wooden baseball bat or something, If im in a cafe with crisps I often empty the crisps onto my plate and eat them so I dont make a sound, is this eccentric etc?

Yeah, the only thing I hate more than burpers and slurpers is a gigantic wall of text.

Noises generally aren't acceptable either, but they are usually less audible than a burp.
Talking about etiquette and stuff, I irrationally get annoyed when people wear hats indoors...
As for disgusting traits, when people wear the same clothes one too many times...

People who eat with their mouth open/don't see anything wrong with peppering the person opposite with what they happen to be chomping.

People who leave the toilet seat down.
It only takes half a second to put it up, and it's really disgusting to be confronted with a closed lid hiding unknown horrors.
The seat should be up, so you can see that everything is clean.
Seat down says "My arse was here. I made a pooh and left a bit just for you. Approach at your peril".

Never! (You clearly don't live in a house with women.) After years of being taught to replace the seat in the downward position, I've taken to closing the thing entirely. It is not an excuse to leave it unclean. It does, however, level the playing field vis a vis having to lift the seat before you can use it.

In Malaysia there are signs in the toilets (in a hostel I stayed in) asking women to remember to leave the toilet seat up. It is far more hygienic. RE levelling the playing field. When men go to the toilet for a number 1 they stand in front of the toilet and go about their business without actually ever touching the toilet. When women do the same thing they have to sit down at which point they cover the seat in what can only be described as their arse. Why then is it left to the men to have to grab the part of the toilet that the women rub their arse into in order to do the same thing?! It makes far more sense to leave the toilet seat up.

Are you completely sure. It seems you have a lot you want to get off your chest.

I'm curious - 1. I struggle to bring to mind the taste of rock dust. 2. I'm not entirely sure you should be tasting the skin of women that are using make-up. Certainly not without prior consent, in which case, surely you knew what you're getting into in the first place?

I have a sensitive palette so that even a quick peck on the cheek with a relative can infect my mouth for ages with a taste and a texture reminiscent of plaster dust or baby powder. True Christianity looks an awful lot like communism (as opposed to Stalinism) so I'll take that as a compliment.
