Lickszz Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Earlier today I had the misfortune of treading in someones chewing gum. I hate chewing gum and some people who use it, especially people who drop it on the ground to turn into super glue in the sun so people like me get it all over their shoes and on the mats inside their car, and then have a glorious fun afternoon cleaning it up. It's selfish. It's bad enough dodging dog dirt everywhere you go, but at least that's water soluble. Do people know what they look like chewing gum? Moronic and gormless. Why not go the whole hog and just get a dummy? I'm fed up of having conversations with people and watching a bit of grey white gum churning around their mouth. People everywhere chewing like ruminating cows, and polluting the place. If you don't like that gum chewers, you know where you can stick it. I'm very angry!

DaBouncer Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 I chew gum! Helps the digestive system you'll find. However, as a car driver and a street walker I too dislike it when people drop their chewy on the floor. At least I have the decency to put it in the bin or on one of those chewy boards you see around town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're attached to bus / tram stops and lamp posts near bus / tram stops... dunno where else though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxbeast Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 In Brighton (I think) the boards have the faces of annoying celebs: David Dickinson, That Smiley person, Lawrence LLLellywn-Bowen, Jerry Paxo, and Monkhouse. Seems pretty popular. And then you can gum their stupid faces... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBouncer Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 True, i've heard the stories also. I do chew after meals, but sometimes in between i chew also... habbit I cant get outta. Also I dont have bad breathe, but I prefer a constant minty fresh one which is another reason why I chew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halevan Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 I used to chew gum, but not any more as it is a disgusting habit, I liken it to people with snotty noses who let it drip down and then every so often keep snorting it back up. And even worse, these dirty buggers who sit in front of you in the works canteen when one is having ones lunch, they should be barred for life.

kittykat Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 yeah i must admit i chew it all the time cos of its mintiness - no ulcers yet thankfully. yes halevan i agree it looks a bit common but i think ive got the art of chewing without people noticing down to a fine art - i have to as work rules say no chewing and i have a big security camera above me which store managers often look through.
