Gum

For fuck's sake!

I can undersand the allure of chewing gum, it tastes pleasant and it gives you something to do.  But it sure can be fucking annoying.  Older women in Korea seem to be intent on chewing it into oblivion.  They'll just stick in a slice if gum and chew it until their mouth implodes due to over use.  But the thing is that they chew gum with their mouths open so that you can hear each and every chew.  This is something I have come to notice much more significantly since my mp3 player stopped working.  I suppose that this could just be a regional thing, but I think not and I have observed this, much to my irritation from many women. However it only seems to be with the 40 somethings, that likely have a family and most if not all have stopped caring.
