Does chomping gum = arrogance?

Question

I am wondering if there have been any odd studies in which they connect gum chomping with arrogance? It seems whenever I talk to someone who chomps their gum with there mouth wide open, they are very very arrogant or snobish. I also watch athletes and movie stars and such and they ALL seem to just sit with their noses in the air chomping their gum with their mouth's wide open. Cant recall ever seeing a star of some sort chewing their gum respectfully.

Answer 1

Maybe you didn't notice because it was so respectful you couldn't even tell they were chewing gum!

Answer 2

Maybe they're annoyed that you're bothering their gum-chewing?

Also, almost all celebrities are rude and snobbish. They're also usually fairly stupid. Nothing to do with gum.

Also, how do you chew respectfully? That just sounds silly.  

Answer 3

Oh Gawd I can't stand when someone smacks their gum, it is disrespectful and tells me the person was raised by dogs. I can't count the times I've hung up on people on the phone and told them to call me back when their done smacking.  

Answer 4

I'll be honest with you, I don't know if theres been any studys on it, but I agree with you. I'm not going to lie about it either that sometimes I feel a little arrogance when I chew it too????  Thats weird you asked this. I bet alot of people feel this way. That is a good question>>> WHY we feel that way. Maybe it is because it's associated with rough sports. The guys who play the rough sports usually chew it and look tough. Thats really odd. Now when I chew gum, I'm going to think how my behavior is. LOL LOL  

Answer 5

If you think that cattle are arrogant, then chomping gum is arrogant. Gum chompers are were-cows. They don' talk. they moo.

Don't knock gum chomping -- it's a tip-off that the chomper is an idiot, and that you can do anything you want with him/her, including tippling them over!

Answer 6

I think that could be partly true, but mostly it's just that they have bad manners!
