WHAT is it with people sticking gum under tables? I put my hand on my lap, manage to graze under the desk and felt lumps. When I had a look, red gum, blue gum and white gum, etc. Not cool people! —Trash It

You shouldn’t be flicking your bean in class anyhow.
Zing! Although, I disagree.
“Nothing eases the tedium of calculus quite like Punishing Percy in the Palm” – Stephen Hawking
Hmmm. Would Mr. Hawking not express that phrase as a physics equation??
Mass squared + distance squared x friction + coefficient of drag divided by fluid viscosity minus curvature angle of hand + velocity = event horizon
I was saving it for later. Thanks for touching it. Now I have to wash it.
I once saw a kid walking at the back of a preschool class bend to the sidewalk, pick up gum, and put it in his mouth, looking quite happy:) It was hilarious!:) Totally different at restaurant though, eeww…
Don’t be touching my gum, I’m coming back for that.
I do it just because other people do it. any problem with that? 😉
I never understood it either OP. Probably the same people who loosen salt shakers at restaurants. No life havin little pranksters. They love the idea of “this gum is really gonna piss off whoever happens to touch it, that’ll show those capitalists on Wall Street who’s who”
Fucktards
the one that really gets me mad, is the idiots that just spit or drop their gum anywhere they choose to.i hate walking on this shit, more so on a hot day, and have your crap, with fuck knows how many germs on it, on my shoes.either swallow the fucking shit, or don’t bother putting it in your mouth. and these are not small kids i’m talking about, adults are the worst fucking pigs.
when i worked at purdys wharf, i watched countless lawyers do this, and went after each and every one, asking them if they did that shit at home.seems the bigger degree ans salary you make, the bigger douche you get to be.
Be happy it was just gum you found OP.
Scrap it off and give it to the homeless.
IVAN … wayyyyy to take my bitch and reduce it to lad’s mag fodder!
