How can I eat when I am disgusted by food?

Am I the only one who gets annoyed by somebody sniffing their food?!?

• This drives me absolutely crazy!!! When I say sniffing, I don't mean opening a pot of soup or opening an oven of brownies and enjoying the aroma. I mean, somebody who takes their fork/spoon (with food on it) and brings it to their nose to smell it before they eat it. But it's purely out of suspicion or the fact that they already have this preconceived notion that the food is going to be bad and they want to sniff it to confirm this idea (you can tell by the disgusted face they make while bringing the fork to their pudgy little noses). Not only do I think its incredibly rude (to the chef/host) it's also very close minded (as it normally happens with unfamiliar culture's cuisine). Does this drive anybody else crazy and annoy the living hell out of them? If I go out to eat with another person who does this, I will probably go hulk mode. I think I'm done with my rant, haha.

  I have only encountered this one time and it made me want to kill that girl. Short story, I cooked a low country boil with fresh caught shirmp (friends and I were renting a beach house on the coast). My friend's annyoing girlfriend at the time (They broke up thank god!) gets a plate and starts picking up the cooked shirmp and sniffing them. She says to me "do you think this shrimp is ok to eat?" It had to have been the freshest most delicious shrimp I have ever had in my life. I mean it was literally wild caught and swimming around in the ocean a very short time ago! I told her as much. She ate it. Pretended to have a stomach ache the rest of the night. 10 other people ate this same thing and felt fine. What a betch. So, yeah I guess I do get annoyed by that!
