Default Eating with hot mic on!!!!

Why do people eat with the hot mike on. It's always the people who chew with their mouth open and smack their mouth. It's like someone chewing directly in your ear, so stop doing it. I'm I the only one who gets bothered by this?

Thats why you don't use the hot mic. Nothing worse then hearing chewing or how about the gasper blowing directly into the mic.

You've got to move the mic to take a bite out of your fat pill, why not just leave it rotated out of the way?

I just hit my INT SVC button on my audio panel... that shuts it up really quick... then again, I'm furloughed so I dont know what eating is.

I'll second your aggrivation. Also, why do people always want to ask 20 questions while you're trying to eat? It is really hard to be considerate and leave the mic off so you don't hear me eating if you won't stop asking me where I learned to fly and what I did before this job. If I hear those two questions one more time this week I'm gonna loose it. Thats probably why that pilot lost it mid Atlantic this week.
