Is
it rude to chew gum at your place
of work or at church? If guests come in chewing gum, what is the proper way
to ask them to get rid of it? It is very disgusting to find it on the dinner
plate. This question goes into the category of sensible manners in society
because gum chewing is not addressed in etiquette books. For gum chewers,
here are the two common sense rules: 1) Chew gum discreetly, preferably alone
in your car or in your home. 2) Dispose of it properly. (A good habit is to
keep the gum wrapper in your pocket for disposal when finished.) Throughout
my lengthy airline career, it was a written regulation that gum chewing was
not allowed while in uniform. It is perceived as unprofessional, along with
chomping on a candy bar or licking an ice cream cone in public. Not all
professions may address this under their corporate code of regulations, in
which case it is up to the individual to use good judgment. Chewing gum in
the office or in church is not a social crime; however, chomping on it and
cracking it crosses the professional boundary. Confrontation should be made
on an individual basis. You cannot control someone else’s behavior but you
can communicate in a tactful manner to solve the problem. If a dinner guest in
your home is chewing gum, you could discreetly offer a tissue or small
|
piece
of paper. Gum on a plate is totally unacceptable – along with gum discarded
on a sidewalk or floor. Gum chewing is popular for people who are trying to
quit smoking. Breath mints are a recommended substitute, especially around
others who may be offended by flapping jaws. Recently I was surprised to
observe an usher chomping on gum while seating guests at a wedding. I have also
heard that bridesmaids have been known to chew it during the ceremony. The
common sense rule for such festivities is: No Gum! For those of you planning
a wedding, it would be very appropriate to address this issue at the wedding
rehearsal. http://www.etiquetteplus.net
Keeping
up with the Christian distinction between judging and Christian rebuke, I
would quietly approach the person, if I had a relationship with them, and in
private explain to them that chewing gum is breaking the fast. This type of admonishment is called for in
