Im in the library and the guy sat beside me is chewing his gum so fooking loudly, I could throw him a punch and i'm not usually violent. At all. Pig.

There was a guy in our library the other day and I swear he had TB given the coughing - yuk!

noisy chewing gum chewing is a total 'bug-bear, phobia, rage-inducing, irrational, ranty, anger-inducing' 'thing' with me

i even put noisy chewing gum use down to common, council estate dwellers who claim benefits, have never worked and whose kids know what the price of a spliff is!!!

ranty and irrational or WHAT!! WANNA MAKE SOMETHING OF IT!!!

sorry, am now of to meditation class

i even bet bet people who do not pick up their dogs shit are chewing gum users!

Sniffing is worse IMO, especially the big, pig-like, snorting sniffs. [slightly queasy emoticon]

Chill, Jesus! Get back to your Daily Mail, lol!

Tis bloody bad manners though.

nickytwotimes · 30/04/2008 14:59

Oh, sniffing, yes! I hate public displays of phlegm production.

i wouldnt mind but it is 'open mouthed so you can see everything' type of chewing and he sort of grunts when he chews and his frigging belongings - bag and coat are in my personal space and he has his elbow out almost touching me BUT its the chewing that is really doing my head in. I really want to say something to him or to grab him by the hair and yank his head so hard that is head will fall off!

personally speaking, i would just stick an axe in his head

nickytwotimes · 30/04/2008 15:11

mad - yes.

(I am not being entirely serious, btw!)

Anyway, you are probably polite and try to cover your mouth, not hack on the direction of others.
