As I see it, there are three main areas of gum etiquette that desperately need work in North America. But the three areas of disgustingness on which I can find several people to agree with me, are location, chewing method, and the worst of all, disposal.
Why is it that people insist on chewing gum with their mouths wide open? First of all, it sounds disgusting. Sort of a slimy, sticking, sucking, squishy, wet, slapping sound that just reminds you that it’s something really gluey getting mixed with someone’s saliva. Secondly, it looks horrible, like a cow chewing its cud, but worse. Thirdly, and this one is for me, it amplifies the smell.
I can understand that some people might enjoy a stick of gum now and then, but do they have to share the sound and appearance of that sticky little wad with the rest of us? I don’t want to see the insides of people’s mouths at the best of times.
It is impolite to eat with your mouth open, yet people who even hold strictly to this principle can be found gape-mouthed with bacteria-filled spit-waddish stickiness rolling around their open maws. It’s terrible, and I wish it would stop. I’m sure nobody wants to see that, really.
Plan english, keep your mouth shut when chewing gum, it's gross and I don't like listening to you smacking and popping your gum.

Welcome
Welcome to my blog. I am pleased to say that this is just a sounding board to start a conversation with multiple people without having to be in the same place at the same moment. So please come with an open mind, that we all have our own opinions and this is not a place to try and change those opinions.
DISCLAIMER: My opinions are not meant to hurt anyone's feelings and are not meant to single any one person out as the object of the blog entry. These entries are here to help me work out my own issues in my life. I feel that this is kinda like therapy for me, once I hit post then it's like I let that issue go and it's gone.
