Nope. I don't make a lot of noise at any time, particularly of the highly annoying variety.

Only if it's true bubble gum. Can't remember the last time I had any.

I haven't chewed gum in years...well, in terms of bubble gum. I'll have some minty gum after dinner but I'll spit that out after a few minutes.

I never popped my gum when I chewed in high school/college though.

This...gum-chewers-at-work should have their own half of the building.
Hey now....I chew gum at work after I'm done eating lunch. (Trident gum, for what it's worth.) :)
I do so quietly. And if I've got to take a phonecall, the gum comes out.

(Alas, chewing with your mouth closed is something that doesn't seem to be taught anymore; perhaps that's what you were thinking of?)

Yep...while on the phone, while not on the phone...grr.

My roommate sounds like a bulldozer with a vacuum attachment when he eats. I once counted, he popped his piece of gum at a rate of 30 pops/minute. Chewing with a closed mouth is unknown to him apparently.
