Gum

I enjoy gum. I like the fresh breath you can get. I like blowing bubbles, in the appropriate places which is not the office, the train, or any where that you can annoy someone. BUT I do not enjoy hearing someone else chew, snap or smack their gum. I don't know what it is in our DNA that gives us our pet peeves but chewing, slurping, lip smacking drives me bonkers.

Sometimes I even sit there and try to talk myself into patience and tolerance for it but then I go crazy. I just have to thank God that earphones were invented and mobile music players.

P.s. random thought for the day, yes totally unrelated to my post - add a few Christmas songs to your iPod play lists and listen to it on shuffle. It is like a special present of Christmas all year long when one of the come on randomly.

I told you it was a random thought.
