Your Say: What is your deal-breaker?

June 7, 2011 Paris B 66 Comments

chewing with mouth open

I’m sure we’ve all been there.

We meet someone lovely, and pleasing to the eye… and we want to get to know them more… and then something he/she does irks you. Something you just cannot stand.

The deal-breaker. The one thing that turns you right off. What’s yours?

My big peeve is sitting across from someone chewing with their mouth open. And chewing noisily.

I love my food so its no surprise that my deal breaker centers around the dining table haha! But seriously, I find it very hard to sit across someone who is chewing with their mouth open. Its off putting to me on a personal level, and also kills my appetite to see half masticated food being processed *shudder*

To be fair, some people don’t realize its a problem, or how it might irk others dining with them. If its someone I know well enough, I do tell them to please chew with their mouth closed. But if there are no sparks on a date to start with, this is one thing that will definitely turn me off and send me running in the opposite direction.

What about you? What’s your deal breaker?

    People with too long fingernails – both guys and gals…for guys it’s the sight of untrimmed nails you know have been there for 3 weeks or more…for gals it’s those overly long talons they seem to think is sexy. 😛

    smoking is a deal breaker for me xD i really cant stand cigs (no offense to anyone who smokes. ive met very nice ppl who smoke–i just really cant stand the breath and smell of it and i want my man to be healthy 🙁 )

    and i kno this sounds shallow, but i really cannot have a guy shorter than me. im only 5’1 and if a guy is shorter than me then thats not good xD

    Dealbreaker: not holding a conversation but rather a monologue. No p’s and q’s really tick me off.

    In my previous team, there was this new person who seemed really nice at first! Then we realised that she just kept on taking and taking our snacks without offering to replenish our stash! :O And we’re not talking about one or two packets of mamee which is perfectly fine, she’s a constant snacker who’s known to devour 5 packets of snacks at one go on top of sweets and chocolates :O Needless to say after seeing her true colors we all kept our snacks in our drawers! >..<

    For me it’s smoking though I equally dislike ppl who chew with their mouth open. For me, this list could go on forever because I have a terribly long list of pet peeves orz

    Sigh~ The right one is so hard to come by 😛 Sometimes I really think I brought it upon myself

    1. Strong B.O – at least put some effort during a date to smell nice.

    2. Foul language – a real turn off when a woman curses like a sailor.

    3. Unwashed hair – i’m 5’11” so i’m at least a head taller than most of the women i have dated. Just a whiff of the smell of unwashed hair makes me nauseous. even worse when it’s before a meal.

    erm… I think it’s the burping which annoys me the hell out of it. I have this colleague that whenever he finishes lunch, he burps the LOUDEST, like as though he’s all alone in this world and no one cares. Problem is, we get so many stares each time and he always laugh about it! Talk about thick skin!

    I know a lot of people do this, and I’m going to cop a serious amount of flak for this, but I really don’t like it when people use their mobile phones at the dinner table (text, surf, etc). As much as I can, I turn my phone to silent whenever I’m having a meal with someone, just so I can enjoy the conversation in between. I think it’s rude when we’re having a meal and the person starts texting, or making a phone call, or surfing the Net. It’s as though he/she does not respect me enough to put the darn thing away at dinner.

    • ParisB says

      June 7, 2011 at 6:47 pm

      No Tine, I feel the same way. If its a one on one meal, unless it is something extremely urgent then yes, take the call. Texts, Tweets, IMs etc can wait. If a call is work related, or anything that can wait, skip it. In a group of people I’m less fussy but never on a one on one.

    hmm my deal breakers lol. theres alot :/
    – no manners. yes this is the 21st century and feminism about but i gladly appreciate a guy who will let a girl go first and hold the door for the girl. do not walk in front of the girl and then let the door slam in her face.
    – BO. if the guys coming from the gym, entirely understandable but when meeting a girl, common decency to shower and smell good if not presentable.
    – stinginess. don’t get me wrong. not a gold digger here. but if a guy doesn’t have money, he shouldn’t be ordering filet mignon and asking the girl to pay. i don’t mind paying. in fact i like it because it makes the guy and girl seem more like equals but should not be all the time. i am not your sugar mama thanks.
    – lies and infidelity. no apologies can fix that.

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
