I agree with you, OP. It is crass and disgusting.
I only allow myself to chew gum in private. When I do chew, I look like a cow chewing her cud, and I do automatically start snapping and cracking without even thinking about it, so I just have to limit myself to never chewing with others around. |
In the lobby of a health club. Waiting for my son. Even moved to a different seat and I could still hear her across the lobby. So disgusting. |
She might have been flirting. It's a lesbian thing in some circles to do that to signify. I won't go into detail as to what they are signifying though. |

I don't know, OP. My husband is loud. I don't like it. He's the one unfurling a cough drop during a classical music concert, or whispering loudly during a speech. He's both hard of hearing and oblivious to social niceties. Thank God he hasn't added gum-chewing to his roster of noises! |
NP. You really are using “passive-aggressive” incorrectly, fyi. |
| I seriously feel like punching people who do that, OP. |
And again. |
| I have that syndrome where certain sounds make me leave the room, gum is one of them and clicking of pens too |
I think that poster is too far deep into their Friday night alcoholic stupor to understand. They just keep saying the same thing. |
You have an oral fixation which is an emotional issue. Solve that and your fatness and gum chewing problems go away. |
Guys tend to like women with oral fixations though. |
Chewing cud? |
| OP: I’m 100% with you. The other one is people who chew loudly. Often mouth open, slurping and lip-smacking. I’ve changed tables at restaurants because of it (which I will readily admit is weird). |
| Chewing gum at all is crass. I am shocked that people think it's socially acceptable to do. I'm 45 so I guess I'm old but in any event it drives me crazy and I was taught growing up to never do it in front of people. |
| When I was a teen I bought tons of different kinds of gum to try to learn how to pop it. I gave up. It’s so my personality but I never learned how. I feel like a failure as a baddie |
