One of my ultimate pet peeves is a person who pops on gum. Where I work gum is like water. People consume so much of it. Now I don't care about folks chewing the gum, its the way they chew it and how they pop it. So chew like cows. You can see what is in their mouth and you can here them chewing across the room. The popping is so aggravating and annoying. I also hate it when people are rude enough to chew it in your ear and face. How do yall feel about gum in the work place? Do you guys have serious poppers? I think it is unprofessional, what about you?

Agree! I really don't care if people are chewing gum but please don't chew with your mouth open. I do not run into this at my workplace but have known a couple people who chew like a cow - ughhh. If one is in a meeting, I do think it is unprofessional to have gum, even if one is chewing it "correctly". But people who chew with their mouth open - it's just rude.

Ya chewing gum then popping it is very unprofessional especially if you is at a business meeting or something. Popping bubble gum can cause you to m=not get a job at job interviews or get a promotion at a job.

I agree with you on that. You should not know that someone is chewing gum. There is nothing more yucky than hearing the lip smacking chewing.
We are allowed to chew gum at work, but there is an understanding that it should not be seen or heard. It shouldn't be that difficult to just keep your mouth shut while chewing.
