it just bothers me to smell people's gum as they chew it or stick the gum somewhere besides the trash, or worse yet, i've tried gum and it tasted crappy. i guess it's in my genes to either totally like it or totally NOT like it whatsoever. who else feels the same?

No. I love chewing gum. My favorite flavor is original bubblegum flavor. I've even taught myself to blow bubbles!

I can't stand the stuff. It's all over the pavements, under tables/chairs in public places, all over the walls in toilets... Plus I just don't see the point of chewing it...

It has its uses:

"Look, I am crazy about this girl, and if waiting is what it takes, then I am fine with that. On a totally unrelated note, does anybody have any gum or ice or a piece of bark they're not chewing?"
~Ted Mosby

I actually only like a few kinds of gum. Trying it once doesn't mean that you hate all gum. Tried mint? Try fruit or cinnamon or another mint flavor.

My favorite is the zebra gum though it lasts maybe a minute.

Nah, I love how it tastes. But it's annoying how people stick it everywhere. I love fruity gum but I never really get it. =(

I chew gum during the day to freshen my breath. Mostly Wrigley's Five.

My 11-years-old Aspie LOVES gum. To the point I had to prohibit it to her, because she would stay all day chewing the same piece of gum, and it started being a problem for her teeth. She only likes mint.

I don't chew it, and hate seeing other people chew it.
I'm always reminded of something horribly vacant and bovine...

I not only chew gum (when I can get it), I also chew the caps on water bottles.
