Cracking Gum, Cracking Skulls


People who crack their gum in public should be executed. Well maybe not executed exactly but, at the very least, forced to do some serious hard labor. Every time I'm in the vicinity of a person chewing and cracking gum, or worse, blowing bubbles, I honestly find my fists clenched so hard that my fingernails break skin and my palms bleed. It's all I can do to keep from pummeling that person in a furious, chaotic display of violence. I remember hearing that awful story about the middle aged man who murdered a young guy on a bus in Canada. Seemingly the murder was unprovoked. It was a horrifyingly awful crime, no doubt. But you know what my first thought was? "I wonder if that young guy was cracking his gum." I bet he was.

You know who else stirs a terrifying rage in me? People who throw cigarette butts out of their cars. When I'm driving behind somebody and I see a butt just pop out I have to contain the severe urge to ram into the back of the car. The only thing that stops me is that I don't want the hassle of having to take out my insurance card and pretend to be sorry. Too much fucking work. My hatred for people that litter the roadways with this particular type of trash knows no bounds. My husband, Todd, is one of those people. And when I see him throw his just smoked cigarette out the window, I hate his guts too. I'm an equal opportunity hater. I don't care who you are. If you fucking piss me off, in that moment that I am pissed off, I will hate you.

Every once in a while, Todd and I and the rest of my family, will get up off our lazy asses and do some sort of 5k Walk to support breast cancer research. I mean I really don't understand what our taking a walk is proving, but apparently it's a powerful statement. Actually, I guess it is. We are not so much 5K people as we are 5 Keg people. We have to feel pretty passionate about a subject to not only walk that far, but use money that would otherwise be spent on beer and tacos to pay to walk that far. I guess breast cancer is a worthy enough cause, considering my sister died of it and all.


One year, I dragged Todd to one of these Race for the Cure events. Only it was more like "Mosey along" for the Cure, if you ask me. So we were taking our sweet old time meandering down the well-worn macadem path, and Todd takes out a cigarette.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"I'm having a smoke. What does it look like?" And he lights it up.

"Ummm...this is a fucking "Cancer" walk. Do you really think it's appropriate to be smoking a cigarette?"

"Nobody is even around." I looked around. I think we were in last place.

"Whatever."

So he's smoking, and I'm fuming, and we're walking along just being our charitable, happy selves. After he takes his last drag, he tosses his butt onto the ground.

"Oh my god. We're at a state park, why are you littering?" I'm a total bitch, right? I was on a roll. He just laughed and ignored me. That is always the way. So I turned around and picked up the butt, sort of patted it on the pavement and chucked it in my purse to throw away in the next trash bin I passed. I just couldn't bear to leave it there on the ground. It just felt wrong.

So we're continuing on our little journey and chatting it up. The next thing I know there is SMOKE coming out of my purse. "What the fuck is that?" He says. So I open my purse and see that there is a little fire going on in there. I guess I didn't put out the cigarette all the way and it went ahead and lit my purse on fire. I throw my purse on the ground and start stomping on it like a crazy woman. Just as I'm jumping on my purse, a few stragglers in the "race" pass us. Of course. Of fucking course. See this is what I get for trying to be a "good" person. I get my handbag burnt all up.

What is the moral to this story? If I had to find one, if pressed, I would have to say that the moral is this: When things piss you off, don't try and make fucking nice. Crack skulls instead. Oh and cracking gum makes you look like an uneducated piece of trash.

  1. I think the moral of this story is if you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

    Or something like that.

    1. I am David Eric,I want to say thank to dr.trust for everything he did in my life. To everyone who doesn't believe in spell, I was one like you at first. I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to do this since I've tried others so-called spells casters and they did not work and was a waste of my time and money. However, when I read so many testimonials of dr.tust how he help people to get back their ex lover. dr.tust answered all my questions and was very nice about everything, I decided to give him a try. I figured it would be my last try to get my ex girlfriend back. i email dr.trust and tell him everything.he let me know which spells would be most appropriate for me and I chose the one that was to get her back to me and stay with me and to marry me.As soon as he finish the spells, my girlfriend came back into my life! It was a miracle to me and I’m so thankful to him, that is why i am sharing this testimony to those who need his help. Things have been going well, and pretty much according to what dr.trust said would happen. I’m very happy for the love spell dr.trust have done for me, my ex girlfriend is now back to me and we are living so happy. if you asked me or my friends if I would have anticipated how things were right now…no one would believe it! contact is email address (ultimatespellcast@yahoo.com or ultimatespellcast@gmail.com tell +2348156885231)

  2. Oops. Setting your purse on fire is not a good thing.

  3. Oh I hate the butt-throwers. Especially the still lit butt-throwers. I always imagine it landing in a puddle of oil or gas or napalm or something and blowing us all up.

    Not to mention that with close to 50 million smokers in the country, if they all throw even one butt out each day, that's a huge pile of litter.

  4. Smoking at a cancer walk. That's kinda like wearing shorts at an amputee festival. And if there's one thing worse than cracking gum, it's cracking knuckles. I hate that.

  5. Nutmeg - If I'm understanding you correctly, you mean that by me telling folks what enrages me, they just might refrain from those behaviors in my presence? Or they are amply warned that a skull cracking is immiment if they choose to persist in those behaviors? I hope I'm right in interpreting your words. I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but I'm having a hard time understanding things.

    Magpie - yeah, I know. Thank god I only buy cheapie purses. If it had been some Prada bag or something I would have been a lot more upset.

    Gina - I think the same thing a lot. You just never know, there really could be some napalm spilled on the street.

    Here in franklin - wearing shorts at an amputee festival. hee. Cracking knuckles also makes me want to crack skulls. Why am I annoyed by everything?

  6. Next time I'll wrap my cigarette in gum before throwing it out the window, so hold your fire.

  7. I am the most trashy uneducated bitch you know. Well, actually, I'm a highly educated neat freak. But, you know, that cigarettes and gum thing? I would be getting your husband a t-shirt for pulling that delicious stunt during the walk. And I would smack my gum while I was giving it to him.

  8. Mongolian Girl - I love you for saying that! You can crack gum and toss cigs out your car window. You have a perpetual pardon because you are awesome.

  9. I agree with the whole cracking gum and throwing butts out car windows.

    You husband smoking at a cancer walk is kind of funny though.

    Having you purse catch on fire is even funnier.

  10. I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

  11. I am so, so glad that you understand my point of view on both situations. My Mother smokes, and she likes to dump the butts of her cigarette out of her car as well. It's absolutely tasteless. And to be honest, it's really embarassing.

    AND THE GUM! LET ME BE A TEENAGER AND INJECT AN ZOMG HERE! I HATE PEOPLE WHO SMACK THEIR GUM!

  12. Napalm? I like that. (Anyone who was injured by napalm in the time associated with the Vietnam War, I do not mean any disrespect)

  13. You know what I love doing? Pissing people off, so they can get all mad and go postal. And crack skulls.

    You'd be fun at a party . . .

  14. I laughed out loud when I read the story about the purse fire. That's hilarious!

    And drop me your email when you get a chance .... you've left me some comments that I want to respond to and acknowledge. Lest I end up writing a novella here, me thinks an email may be more appropriate. Especially since we're BFFs now. ....babs

  15. Did you know that 78% of gum crackers are actually crack heads? It's true. Now their little secret is exposed.

  18. Am giving this testimony because someone out there may have similar problem My Husband doesn’t think polygamy is wrong. He has been seeing another girl for about four months now. I told him that he needs to stop, but he says he is in love with her. They’ve talked about being together “forever” and eventually her moving in with us. My husband still loves me. He regrets getting into this in the first place, but is not willing to just break up with her. He says if they so break up then thy will be it and he will not pursue another relationship. I contacted Dr. Zaco a spell caster who cast a 24 hour spell for me surprisingly my husband came home on his knees begging me to forgive him that he has broke up with his mistress all thanks to Dr.Zaco I pray that God will continue to use you to help people. Friends don’t die in silent because someone like Dr.Zaco has a solution to your problem is living happily with my family. Contact him via Zacospelltemple@yahoo.com

  27. After being in relationship with him for 3 years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all other ones out there. Anybody who need his help, should contact his email, DROGBEMUDIANSPELLHOME@GMAIL.COM.
