[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 595795, member: 11791"] Ummm... OK, I can see both sides of this. But... I've had to learn that there are multiple layers to "rules". Doing that in a meeting? no doggone way (in my books, and at most companies I've worked for) At your own workspace? harder to call. Many of us "graze" during the day. If you're pregnant, or have various metabolic issues, it's essential. And most "grazing" foods - even the real foods - are crunchy. Carrot sticks, for example. I'm assuming you're in a shared workspace. It is of course less invasive if the person is in a separate office. And, I'm assuming that you are the person who answers the phones etc., so YOU can't use ear plugs? If her crunching is right beside your desk and you are responsible for the phones, then her crunching can probably be heard on the other end of the phone as well... and therefore her desk should probably be farther away. Other than that... no idea what to suggest. [/QUOTE]
