EricaH 0 #1 June 3, 2004 So, my co-worker sits bout 15 ft away from me. he's sitting there, chewing his gum w/ his mouth open. to me this is one of the most horrid noises in the universe. the sound of spit being squished into a rubbery like substance, blech, it just grates on my ears . I've said comments like "does it taste better with air?" and "trying to catch bugs w/ your gum?" he just looks @ me, turns away & continues along. gackkk. i can't stand it!! anyway, sorry petpeeve freak out here. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rdy2skydive 0 #10 June 3, 2004 Oh that is so annoying. I had a coworker do that to me. I went up to her and said, "Dude, you're killing me with that gum chewing. Can you please turn the volume down to zero. In other words, chew with your mouth closed." She was surprised and then very offended but she got rid of the gum. I'd been listening to it all day so I didn't care - I just wanted her to stop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EricaH 0 #12 June 3, 2004 I'm so glad I'm not the only one. you have my exact same feelings. Casie, could you be more bi-polar? I hate those competitions. I hate noise (sometimes) even if it comes from me, so the other person always wins & then I'm left w/ them making even more noise than before. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear.

You should ask him if he would mind shutting his gaping cake hole so that you can get some work done.

2fat2fly 0 #17 June 3, 2004 A while back, my wife and I were caring for a foster child (girl). If she got nothing else from us, at least she had broken the habit of smacking her gum by the time she left.I am not the man.

AndyMan 7 #18 June 3, 2004 I put chewing gum on my list of disgusting habbits. I consider it WORSE than smoking. I just don't get the attraction, and people have no clue how annoying they can be. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kid_Icarus 0 #19 June 3, 2004 This is why I don't : A major cause of stomach problems (ulcers,burns, irritable bowel, etc) is by chewing to much gum. While chewing gum the stomach is expecting food so it produces more acid to break down the food this causes problems with the lining of the stomach. The ulcer develops when the lining of the stomach or duodenum becomes corroded by stomach acid that is casued when chewing gum.

I was spoiled by working from home for the past 4 years, now I'm in cubefarmhell. I tune into a radio station on the net and just drown everyone else out. Clicking, chewing, screwing, so what?

seekfun 0 #25 June 4, 2004 Quote "I don't chew 'coz I live in Singapore and chewing gum is outlawed here" Actually, according to the cover of today's Wall Street Journal, Singapore has just passed legislation allowing gum chewing. However, you must get the gum from a pharmacist, and your name goes on a registry of known gum chewers. - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
