My aunt's new boyfriend is absolutely repulsive! I met him at a family meal at my grandmother's house, where I found myself sitting opposite him. As a result, I was able to admire his tonsils for the whole meal, since he chewed with his mouth open! At one point, he even farted noisily, which didn't embarrass him at all. On the contrary, he burst out laughing! And as if that wasn't enough, every time that my aunt opened her mouth to say something, he would interrupt her systematically! What a disgusting character!

I'll be right with you...
