Today I am plagued by one issue:
There is a guy in my English class who is usually drinking a Gatorade and also keeps an empty Mountain Dew bottle near by. What is this second bottle for, you ask? Well, I myself wondered the same thing until I had the unfortunate experience of witnessing this guy spit his chew juice into the Mountain Dew bottle and then take a swig of his Gatorade. Of course, this is not the first time I've seen this phenomenon taking place in one of my classes. At my particular university, I would say that it is common for at least 10% of the class to be nursing a dip throughout a 50 minute period. I don't have anything against chewing really, my philosophy is generally "different strokes for different folks". Here's my question though: When did it become acceptable to spit into a clear plastic/glass bottle and leave it on the table for everyone to look at? Just because I don't mind that you chew does not mean that I want to see the leftovers. It is especially disgusting to have to look at this particular Mountain Dew bottle because the guy in question also uses it all morning before class. By the time he strolls into my English class and sets it on the table, it is usually half full. It's enough to turn my stomach. What makes this situation worse is the fact that the Gatorade bottle has a dark label that covers a good portion of the bottle. If he would just save one of those Gatorade bottles and use it instead of the MD bottle, I would see a lot less of his chew remnants.
Here are some friendly tips for those of you who chew in class:
1) Put the bottle on the floor (With the lid on. I can only imagine the mess that could make).
2) Spit into a bottle with a large label.
3) Use a really dark bottle so the rest of us don't have to see exactly what's in there.
4) Quit Chewing In Class!
You're Welcome

HAHA! I know what you maen that is so disgusting! I mean come on I don't pile my chewing gum on the desk for the world to see! There are ways to descretely dispose of your oral fixation people! I think you should take him a bottle covered in duct tape or something and explain to him that no one wants to see his tabacoo spit soup ever again.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, pumpkins should be scary. Any other answer is stupid and ludicrous. And chewing just disgusting, no way around it. I know at my particular school, use of tobacco products on campus is banned and I imagine the same is true at most public universities. My solution: call in the state troopers, have these kids beaten and taken to jail...for chewing.
ReplyDeleteOkay that is completely sick and gross. However, you do live in Wyoming and there is a large majority of the male population that chew there haha. I once dated a guy who chewed...gross. But I should add that he did spit his chew into a cup that was dark and not see through. But why must this guy chew during class? I mean can't he like wait?! If no one is allowed to smoke in the building shouldn't chewing be ex-ed out too?!
ReplyDeleteoh and p.s. I also love Anderson Cooper...so cute!
