Gum off!
Dear people-who-stick-bits-of-gum-on-the-side-of-the-bus,
Next time, put your gum in a bit of paper, get off your lazy butt and throw it out. Otherwise it ends up in my shoe and I get pissed. I got it on my school bag as well, not a pretty sight. Do you know that stuff has been in your mouth? Covered in your saliva? And now it’s stuck all over my stuff. I really, really hate gum.
Not so much love,
Me
P.S. Peppermint gum on the side of your shoe smells disgusting. I don’t care if it makes your breath all minty “just-brushed-my-teeth” fresh. It doesn’t smell good on shoes.

Couldn’t agree more. Once I got some wedged right in the grooves of my shoe, and had to endure people squealing “Ewww!” as I tried to scrape it out. Yeah, I stepped in the gum on purpose, everyone.

Ugh, same with Jordie, I couldn’t agree more. I get disgusted. It doesn’t help that people stick the gums not only on the side of the buses, but practically anywhere you can ever imagine. You’d most likely find one under a table or chair. Really.

Totally gross! Our school chairs are littered with chewed gum underneath and I’m afraid of what else I might find in there.

I’ve sat on gum so many times, and it’s just the most horrible experience.

Our school has a major problem with gum under chairs and desks. This gets really annoying when we have earthquake drills and have to attempt to duck under our desks. Not only can we not fit, there are wads of gum everywhere.
I hope you managed to get the gum off your bag and shoe. Sometimes I really wish gum was swallowable. (Is that even a word? o_O )

EXACTLY how I feel. people really should not spit gum on the floor and stick it under desks. it’s even worse when you go to uni expecting people to be mature enough to go spit it in the trash can, especially because professors don’t even care if you are chewing gum, unlike in high school and lower. you aren’t being penalized because of it, so why is there a need to stick it under the little arm desk thing? and I hate it when I touch it and it’s still wet…eeww. damn them. grow up.

Always wondered what those ‘black spot’s on the ground was when I was a kid. “A lot of people are trying to quit smoking… A lot of people…” Hehehe.
# Amanda, 1 year, 7 months ago.
I once got gum stuck in my hair and had to cut it off. It was traumatising…so I despise gumchewers who can part with their gum so willingly, abandoning it to its unloved status under a table. :P

I sat on someone’s gum once. It was disgusting. I’ll sign that letter with you!

Just swallow it for gods sake. Or something.
People who stick there gum places make me so mad.

Ahh, the tragic appearance of gum on the sole of your newly cleansed Chuck Taylors seems to be the bane of my existence. Mainly because my Cons are nearly always covered in congealing fruit crud to begin with, the last thing I need is the shameless addition of congealing gum crud to the bubbling couldron of filth adding further generation to a galloping and mutating forms of Reoviridae.
Pepermint is only awesome if in Tic Tacs, I refuse to acknowledge it’s existence in any other form. For this ignorance I have paid the ultimate price. Including shaming myself in the middle of a crowded mid-morning rush at a CBD newsagent: “PEPERMINT EXTRA GUM? YOU HAVE NO SPEARMINT?!” *waves the criminal wad of gum at the poor girl behind the counter who now wishes the had the equivalent of a “red emergency button” under the counter*.
Anyhow, “HI” my name is jayne and I enjoy ranting in people’s blogs and proclaiming profound truths. XD
