Do you have gum?

[Honest]

I hate this question

Do you find yourself asking this a lot? Or being ASKED this a lot? It's ridiculous what can happen if this is asked within a crowd of people you know. o_o

It was mostly back in high school, and I usually had gum, so I usually ended up giving most of it away. :'(

To be honest I've never heard of anyone say it before xD I mean instead of people asking me, if I had gum it became "Do you want some?" instead. Not just me but more people I know just ask if people want gum rather to ask if they have gum.

I am addicted to chewing gum and am constantly chewing it so people tend to ask me. I also have asked it quite a bit as well. I bought gum in bulk for a cheap price so I don't mind giving some away.

On the rare occasion that I pull out gum in public, I'm usually inundated by the hordes of people who seem to pop out of nowhere whenever someone pulls out gum. I give a piece to a couple of people if I'm feeling generous, but otherwise I try keep what I can to myself. It's selfish, but I hate when people ask me for gum expecting I'll make it rain thousands of pieces onto their hands, ugh.

I haven't heard it mentioned since I graduated high school and I haven't had a piece of gum in over 2 years myself. However, I did meet one of my best friends this way in high school :) She always had a pack of gum on her in class so I would ask for a piece and after a few times of that happening, VOILA GOING ON 7 OR SO YEARS OF FRIENDSHIP.

Swear this said 'do you have gun?'

I don't get asked that at all anymore; it was only a secondary/high school thing.​

I don't chew gum often, so I never find myself asking other people for gum. I haven't heard of any people ask for gum at a random time.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

I only chew gum in the car, oddly so I don't ask - I just check the center console and get my own gum. As far as being asked about it, I recall that I was asked most often about between 6th and 10th grades, and it did annoy me a bit, but not as much as when those same kids asked me to do their homework for them.

 

[Shining Raichu]

I haven't chewed gum since my Hubba Bubba days when I was a child, so I've never asked or been asked for gum lol

 

[Livewire]

Gum is like a soft core drug in grade school, you gotta share with everyone else & keep it on the DL from the teachers, ahaha. Usually I got asked for gum so I tried to hide mine as best I could.

 

[Yoshikkko]

Got asked this sometimes in high school but I barely ever chew it, usually only bublicious but it wasn't allowed in our school so I never took it with anyway. I think I asked, like, once before when I felt like chewing on something XD

 

[Brendino]

I always remember being asked this in elementary and middle, especially at lunch time. We weren't allowed gum at school, so you were seen as a cool kid if you had any. I even remember there being a day back in grade 4 where our teacher all gave us some Halloween gum and let us chew it in class, and everyone thought it was the best day ever :P

 

[Meru]

I remember getting asked this a lot in my classes and when you actually do have gum, everyone automatically becomes your new best friend. >B/

 

[Aerinoctis]

Yeah, back when I was in middle school...

 

[Treecko]

In grade school and middle school, yes. Now, not really. Now it's more on the lines of "Do you have a cigarette?" lol.

 

[Kikaito plush]

I have never been asked this in my life, that's probably cause it was banned at my schools. I have been asked " Have you got 20p" before.

 

[Algo Fonix]

I've not been asked this since high school. I've only chewed gum a few times since high school, so I wouldn't have it anyway.

 

[CarefulWetPaint]

My answer has always been and will always be No.
Unless they are a pretty girl then its yes!

I do always ask people and expect them to give it to me though, is that selfish?

Also the best trick in the book "Last piece." or if that fails "Got it off someone else." Thats how you get out of this question without giving them anything!

 

[Legobricks]

I only get asked if I have a lighter.
If I did, it'd be a nice Zippo...
