Obviously an Aubergine
Maybe this explains something ... When I was a kid my dad would get uncharacteristically angry if any of us kids slurped a mikshake with a straw. It was a very specific thing, and we soon learnt that it was a serious matter, not something for joking around. If you wanted to suck up the last bits of your milkshake, you had to into another room.
Yup - I'm the same - i'm curious to know whether this is learnt, or associative behaviour.??
So if our parents, or someone we grew up around, got tense around these noises - did we subconsciously take on the same aversion ?
How are you with slurping, btw?
Arrgh - even writing the word puts me slightly on edge
