Is it just me, or is chewing gum in an office really obnoxious? I work next to a gum-chewer, and she looks like a cow chomping away all day long. And then come the bubbles. Snap, chomp, chomp, snap. I don't think there are many more ways to make yourself look dumber in an office environment than to do that. Of course, chomping, blowing bubbles, bouncing your leg so you look like a jackhammer in your chair, AND surfing the Web all day makes it even worse, but that's another story.

If not, maybe she needs to.

You could retaliate by clipping your toenails, or doing that reaaally disgusting thing where people continuously sniff and snort all day and occasionally hawk loudly into a Kleenex. You know, the people who sound like they are going to choke to death on their own phlegm....

I work with one of those. It makes me gag to hear it. Ewwww.

Yuck! But I like the idea. If I clipped my nails, they'd probably fly off and land right in her pod. Heh-heh.

Oh, I also love how she rolls her neck in circles every few minutes, like she has to unstress from all the hard work she's not doing.

I've heard two bubbles pop in the time I wrote this. Make it three.

I just need to get a promotion and land a private office, so I don't have to look at this fool.

I crack my gum in the past to annoy bosses that were really uptight that would just pick at people for peon crushing pleasure.

And yes I did it on purpose.
And yes I enjoyed every snap, crackle and neck cinching pop.

I swear I have worked with this person...

I had one who lived for Dancing With the Stars.

It was her whole life, brought her to tears.
