Chewing Gum - annoys you?

Question

I hate when people chew gum so loudly or disgusting and it's annoying. Someone i know chews gum so annoyingly -like everytime they bit it a "poping bubble sound comes out" = so that's all you hear with a little other annoying sounds... I'm like a room a way with my head phones high - -- and i can still hear it ... i'm going to pass out...


what should i do

things like : '
try to ignore it or don't pay attention to them won't work --- or to higher my ipod won't work - b/c now my ears are killing me...

i'm very mad at this moment so dumb answers = reported :(

and they never run out of gum - if they do - they go buy some....

i live w/ them

OKKKKK..... I JUST CAN'T WALK THERE AND TELL THEM --- DON'T FEEL LIKE EXPLAINING Y

Answer 1

Yes, it is HIGHLY annoying, especially when somebody like this is in your work place. It's usually the person with a sort of boring, menial job, lurking around other workers who actually have to try and concentrate on their work... and you hear that constant popping noise!! Grrrrrr..... you just get so mad, you can't even SAY anything.

Just another thought... I remember a poem but can't remember who wrote it....

The gum-chewing girl, and the cud-chewing cow,
Seem so much the same,
But there's a difference, somehow.

Ah, yes! There's a difference!
I have it now!
It's that THOUGHTFUL look on the face of the cow.

Maybe you should tell them how much it bothers you. My daughter smacks her gum - but everytime I catch her I ask her to close her mouth. Explain to your roommates that they sound like cows smackin. Hopefully they will care. When I was in college and had roommates we used to have weekly meetings where we would sit in a circle and there was a spoon in the center of us - whoever wanted to voice a complaint or whatever they wanted to say - had to be holding the spoon. No one else could talk unless they were holding the spoon. That way everyone got a fair chance to speak about issues. Good luck!!

i have the same problem cracking knuckles clearing throats are also my pet peeves those sounds send a chill up my spine and i think my head is going to blow unless i yell or throw something i am 51 years old and still have the problem i pray for it to stop 2 years ago i took efexor and that helped a lot but for some reason i stopped funny to see your question because i've been thinking about going back to the dr. cause it's getting bad again. i hope it's not as bad for you thank you for making me think seriously about my situation

Answer 4

Tell them they should keep their mouth closed because they sound like a cow chewing on cud, that's what I tell people that annoy me and it makes them self concious so I normally don't hear it again.

Answer 5

Tell them a lie like chewing gum causes cancer or something.

Answer 6

I feel the same way. It drives me crazy because it seems like that's the only thing you hear right?

If it's at school I ask them nicely

If it's at home I do alittle more yelling. Usually they stop
But if you can don't yell

Answer 7

tell them. march up to them and just tell them how annoying they are. chewing gum loud is very rude, tell them they need to spit out the gum or chew it outside!!

Answer 8

Answer 9

I'm sorry but you need to be a little more tolerant of your roomie......Also you need to tell your roomie how you feel about that, I once had one that left used tampons on the bathroom counter!!!
