Yick yick yick. Hey, wait . . . is my brother visiting you?

Being grossed out or irked by any of the things you list is not a symptom of obsession. I'd have been dying to get away from that meal if I was you, and I definitely don't obsess about table manners. But I'd have never left that guest alone in my house either, for fear he'd start blowing his nose on the curtains or spitting on the floor or something.

I'm no ettiquette expert either, and often feel a bit flummoxed in fancy restaurants. But what you describe is way off the charts. Can you have your guest read this post? You can pretend it wasn't you. Just say, "Hey, look, it's like they're describing our breakfast this morning. How funny!"
