This is one of those 'if a tree falls in the forest' kind of questions. The level of disgusting is determined entirely by a) being caught doing it; b) catching someone else doing it.
not as gross as chewing gum that you kept behind your ear for a day, which is where gum should be kept according to the books and movies i remember....although i remember trying to put gum there once and it wouldn't stick :(
Hmm, I'm also wondering if it would be a bit of a germ fest if it's been sitting. Lessee, its sugary, been in your mouth (i.e. has a high water activity), incubating with additional keyboard inoculation at room temperature....
Definitely a food borne illness risk if I remember my food micro coursework.
Your own gum on your own keyboard?
ReplyDeletePretty disgusting.
But maybe not as disgusting as chewing gum from an unknown source on a public access computer.
Hon, would you like me to bring you some gum? I have to go run errands anyway...
Why are you sticking old gum to your keyboard?!?
ReplyDeleteKnitting was strangely quiet last night.
is this a hypothetical question? or a real question?
ReplyDeletethe answer is "very disgusting" in either case... although my kids would probably say "if it still has flavour - why not?"
Ok, I take my judgement back since I just dropped chocolate on the floor in my workshop and ate it anyway.
ReplyDeleteUmmm.... I'm almost scared to ask... but ah, why do you want to know?
ReplyDeleteOh, go on, chew it, you know you want to.
ReplyDeleteThe keyboard is dirtier than the floor. It's more like the back of the toilet. Better to stick the gum on the side of the monitor next time.
ReplyDeleteI agree with jodi. Work keyboards and desks are dirtier and germier than most bathrooms.
ReplyDeletewow. That made me say "ew". And I have remarkably low standards

ReplyDeleteIs it your gum? I know you stuck it to your keyboard ... but the disgusting quotient raises if it someone else's gum

I wonder why you are chewing gum in the first place. Not good for your jaw, or teeth. 'Sides no one looks attractive chewing gum.
