What's on your mind when you buy bubble gum?


Do you like to enjoy the taste of your favorite bubble gum?
Yes, you surely like it, but what happens when others don't like it when you are enjoying a bubble gum.

Usually, we buy bubble gum, enjoy the taste and spit it out. We have no other thought in our minds.
Do we think about bubble gum etiquette?
Oh, don't think there is nothing like bubble gum etiquette. There is !

Give the examples (below) a thought before you buy bubble gum.

1. Imagine you are walking on the road happy, thanking the lord for a wonderful day. Accidentally, you step on a gum which someone had spit on the side of the road. Will you think, It's okay. It happens. No! The first thing that will come in your mind is, Who the hell has spit it on the side of the road?
Isn't it?

2. You are waiting for an important meeting to start, preparing for a speech. The guy sitting next to you starts enjoying his bubble gum. Blows it and boom. Again, blows it and boom. You get irritated and politely ask him to not to do it. He says okay but the next minute, blows it and boom. At that moment, you will not buy bubble gum and start competing with him, instead will look for a better place to sit and concentrate on your speech, right?

3. You are having a great day at work. However, there is someone who is happier than you and wants everyone to notice his happiness. So, he takes out a double mint gum and goes on a personal communication mode with others. You are the first one, but do not appreciate the strong essence of mint while working. Imagine, he is talking to you from a 'not so close distance' but that strong essence of double mint is still hitting your nose. What can you do? Maybe move out and talk to him later, right? So, don't let anyone feel annoyed because you buy bubble gum and are trying to enjoy the taste.

So, the next time you buy bubble gum from an on-line candy store, make sure you follow the bubble gum etiquettes.
