ruttinbuc Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 There is a guy I work with who chews gum all night with the annoying habit of cracking and snapping it. I thought this was something girls did as they toy with their hair and talk about boys. Does anyone know any men who snap and crack their gum? Really gets on my freakin' nerves, I know that! I try not to let him know that, but there are times when I want to pull his ponytail until he spits out the gum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrswtnhunt Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 OMG...sorry but I just about fell outta my chair laughing...about the ponytail part....Now seriously, have you had a man to man talk with him and let him know your true feelings? jk...:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 It IS annoying and I wouldn't be able to listen to that constantly. I'd have to say something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Disgusting oral sounds are a pet peeve of mine. Every year I tell my students "I don't mind if you chew gum so long as I don't see it or hear it..." Yep, cracking drives me nuts too. Ohiobucks has been known to pop it on occasion, but if I said anything, I'd be reduced to hunting 1 acre woodlots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 My wife is terrible about snapping gum. I will not allow her to do it in my presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I pop it once in a blue moon but NEVER in public. Just to annoy my husband or kids. ( Boys haven't figured out how to do it yet) LOL:D:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebeilgard Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 this is his way of getting your attention. he knows it's annoying, and does it anyway. tell him what you think, and say "jerk" (or something to upset him) every time you hear it. just so you annoy him every time he annoys you.

davetucker Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 i know you'd probably go nuts and it might sound funny but you ought to grab a big ole wadof gum and just go nuts with it,i mean three times as bad as he does it then when he says anything you look at him and say now you know how i feel and spit the gum out and tell him how you couldn't wait to spit it out it was driving you to the sane assylume!!

OJR Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 That is one thing my wife does and there is an instant battle when she does it! After 40+ years, she is better! With hearing aids, the "cracking" sound is amplified and it really drives me nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could model the whole incident and make a PEZ dispenser for gum that looks like the guy as he spits out his gum, you'd be rich. Don't worry, I don't want any royalties for the idea...:D:D:D:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Have heard people do it before and it drives me insane! I don't have any co-workers that do it though, there'd be a flyin wrench comin' their way if they did. :D j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I've never learned how to crack it. I do it accidentally once in a while, but not intentionally. What's the secret? I don't call it cracking, I call it popping. Instead of blowing a bubble outward, you suck inward. In order for it to be really loud the gum has to have been chewed a while and all the sugar crystals are gone. You're welcome........happy popping.

Guest Andrea Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I can do that, I want to learn how to pop it inbetween my teeth. There again, gum has to be chewed for a while. ( I call it tight) You have to make an air pocket in the gum by folding it over then biting down on it with your back teeth to "crack" it. This isn't nearly as loud as popping. But I think it's more annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Thanks everyone, The whole point to this thread was to get the response I thought I would so I could print it out and show him how ignorant he is. This guy is a real cupcake if you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
