Hate-the-Poppers
Participant
I work in an office of a large company and am surrounded by black women who constantly pop their gum while chewing. I think this is a ‘black’ thing – the popping and cracking -because I know white people who can chew gum quietly and not pop. To me, this is just like eating with your mouth open, and it digusts me. I cannot find any way to express my disgust without causing a problem at work; therefore, I must put up with it daily.
