I can't stand it!!!

I'm sitting here in my apt with the door open and I hear one of my neighbors popping their gum SO loud - it's driving me crazy. I'm going to shut the door.

I do it without thinking usually. When I notice that I'm doing it, I'll spit it out because I know other people find it annoying. I'm not bothered by it, personally.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I'm a teacher and students are NOT allowed to chew gum. So when I hear it at school it's an act of outright defiance - since they're calling attention to the fact that they're breaking the rules. (I work at a really bad school btw).

But when you're popping your gum so loud that someone across the street and on the 2nd floor can hear it clearly.... :angry:

Sorry, I'm pissed.

Gum is nasty. It tricks your stomach into thinking it's gonna get some food, so it produces more acid then gives you ulcers.

OK, so that isn't true, but it's nasty anyway. Don't chew it & don't pop it.

Yup.

On another subject, I think a guy chewing gum is hot. Dunno why.

I view most gum-chewers as cattle. They tend to have the same, brain-dead look in their eyes as they methodically, but mindlessly, masticate a wad of Bubblicious. Round them up and send them to the slaughterhouse, says I.

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.

oh my....how that makes me cringe!!! when i'm in the privacy of my own home, i'll make a bubble every 20 minutes maybe....but when i'm sitting on the subway and the girl sitting next to me is popping it like you can't imagine....oh my!!!! :wacko:

it drives me insane--it is rude!

::There’s a laugh in my eyes::

There’s a waltz in my walk

And it’s been such a long time

Since there was hope in my talk

If you never knew

What it is that’s new.. it’s you

‘Cause when your hands are in mine

You set a fire that everyone can see

And it’s burning away

Every bad memory

To tell you the truth

If it’s something new.. baby it’s you

It’s you in the morning

It’s you in the night

A beautiful angel came down

To light up my life

The world’s a different place

Where nothing’s too hard to say

And nothing’s too hard to do

Never too much to go through

To tell you the truth

Everything that’s new.. baby it’s you

It’s you in the morning

It’s you in the night

A beautiful angel came down

To light up my life

My life, my life

Ohh

So if I get to grow old (oh if I get to grow old)

With many years behind me (many years behind me)

There’s only one thing I want (aahh)

One thing I need beside me

For all that you are

For everything you do

For all that you’ve done

Just for showing me the truth

::It’s you...It’s you...Baby it’s you::
