I don’t know if it’s the gum-popping-as-justification-for-homicide in Chicago, or just general simultaneous exasperation, but for some reason all of my friends are sharing stories about annoying gum-poppers with me.
One witnessed a near-fight on a subway in New York. Another got into a yelling match with her mother. People everywhere are getting fed up. Obnoxious chewing-gum habits are destroying the fabric of our society, it seems.
So, you Dopers are a pretty well-travelled bunch. What egregious gum-popping behaviour have you seen or heard, and how did bystanders react? I’m suddenly fascinated by this phenomenon.
