What is wrong with people?
Why is it that activities considered totally uncouth with “normal” chewing is thrown out the window when people chew gum?
When you chew food, you chew with your mouth shut.
When you chew food, you don’t crack it.
You don’t blow bubbles.
But when people chew gum, they feel the need to chew it all day, like cows, and crack it every few seconds.
I hate gum because people that chew it are [almost] all assholes about it.
It’d be nice if people could have some courtesy around others, but apparently gum chewing is the exception to being polite. Or maybe it’s just narcissism has risen to the national pastime of America.
Amen, brother!!! Someone had to say it.
Have you ever noticed when people chew gum they never look you in the eye when you are speaking to them? Almost as if on some instinctive level the realization that they are behaving badly is there, but they are avoiding human contact to confirm it. Try this next time you encounter someone chewing gum, ask for some in a voice that exhibits uncontrollable desire and want. You probably won’t get any, but the gum chewer will go away, and that is enough satisfaction for me.
