This is the Conversation Forum for Pavement Etiquette << Shopping Mall Supermarket driving >> Subject: Eating while walking Posted Jul 21, 2003 by Vestboy II not playing the Telegram Game at U726319   Posting 1 An interesting pavement user is the "Eater." The eater may vary from the one quietly sucking a humbug through to the full three courses balanced on the upturned hand from which hangs a hefty shopping bag. It is normally regarded as impolite to discard chicken bones, unwanted hamburger gherkins, fish skin, lollipop sticks or chewing gum onto the pavement. Many modern cities have receptacles at street level for the deposit of unrequired detritus acquiainted with street cuisine.

When you stop to look, the amount of chewing gum that gets discarded per square metre of pavement is quite throgoughly disgusting. No wonder countries like Singapore banned chewing gum.

The place where chewing gum really gets to me is theaters. When you go to the theater, expecting to see a bit of culture, and all you get is a sticky piece of chewing gum under your seat, it's not fun.

It makes you wonder if the low-life thoughless ******* that put it there could somehow, perhaps, be out-low-lifed by someone else. The sad fact is that this is usually the case. Summary execution isn't good enough for the people who leave gum on seats. I can't think of many things more inconsiderate, atleast none that I'll describe here. (The only thing more hideous that is mentioned here is Cthulhu (A574931), who I'd recommend over chewing gum any day. (If you are, or you know an insane Cthulhu cultist, consider this CD at http://www.cthulhulives.org/Soltice as the perfect Xmas gift...
