Unfortunately, yes. Now my 5 year old does it.

no...I can't stand gum chewing in general and snapping/popping drives me insane. Also any open mouthed chewing is DISGUSTING...DIS.GUST.ING. Its like eating your dinner with your mouth opened.

My kids have had a piece of gum here and there, and as soon as they chew with their mouth open or snap it, they have to spit it out.

I was just in a meeting where someone popped their gum for an hour. She was very talented at it...could do multiple small pops at one time, she could also chew on it like a cow. It was really quite awesome. And, at no time did I want to lunge across the table and rip the gum from her mouth. Angry

Snapping and popping gum drives me INSANE. Ugh, it's so irritating.

I can't remember the last time I chewed a piece of gum, but possibly in HS! I probably wouldn't be able to resist playing with it if it were in my mouth.

I do, and it drives DH nuts.

I don't chew gum often, but when I do, I do catch myself popping it sometimes. I don't think it's appropriate to chew gum at work, at social functions where you're talking to people a lot, at church, etc. About the only time I have gum is in the car, so I am basically by myself or just the kids.

this sounds like me except I don't chew it with my mouth open. It even drives me crazy when I realize I'm doing it. Just like someone constantly clicking their pen in a meeting.

Ditto everyone else. I hate hearing someone snap their gum, let alone watch it. Ick!

DH chews his gum w/ his mouth open and it seriously makes me so pissed to hear it, just completely unnecessary. My BIL also chews it open-mouthed. My sister and I will text each other "gum chewer" and instantly know that a spouse is driving us crazy!

I do around the boys because they think it's a cool trick, lol, but definitely not on a regular basis or around other people.

Ditto this, except my kids still have never had gum. My opinion has rubbed off on them I guess! I haaaaaate gum chewing.

No. It doesn't bother me so much but I think people view it as trashy so I don't do it.
