I walked away because I almost vomited on the toothbrush display. I am pleased that you were showing interest in oral hygiene (next let’s work on showers, please) however, chewing gum just won’t help your efforts. Though, the part that made me walk away was the fact that you were chewing loudly. I thought a cow had walked up to mee and was masticating very wet cud. The mental image I had before I looked over was of a nasty puree of grass and mucus spilling out onto the floor. While I was relieved to discover that they did not allow a cow in the store to purchase toothbrushes, it was slightly more disturbing that a human was making the sound. Please learn to 1) chew gum (and I suspect all your food) so that it does not sound as if it would fall out of your mouth at any moment, and 2) chew with your mouth closed-this, even if you keep chewing in the same style, will keep the rest of the world from hearing the sloshing inside your mouth, and frankly we don’t want to see what is in there either.
Sincerely,
mee
P.S. Are you the same person we saw the other day who has bumper stickers that read, “Why am I the only one on this planet that knows how to drive” and “My future’s so bright I need sunglasses” and then blew through a stop sign only to follow 2-3 feet behind a car in the left lane and then make a right turn with no use of turn signal (or lane change)? -m
You are much kinder than I am, because I have a tendency to just say whatever I am thinking out loud for the annoying person to hear.
Wowww.. Pretty gross!
Ronda, if I hadn’t been wanting to keep my lunch in my stomach, I might have opened my mouth, but words would not have come out. And as I learned from preschool, sometimes I just have to walk away.
I’m with Ronda, I say things outloud that are not to the person per say, but that release all doubt that what they are doing is wrong. But in this case, it happens to be a habit that was probably taught/not taught in the home. And so there is most likely not any hope left for them. And I would not have tried to correct them.
