Today, in an effort to avoid my school's strict no-gum policy as my teacher made a b-line to me, I swallowed it. By the time the teacher reached me, the gum was on my desk, as well as my breakfast, thanks to my overactive gag reflex. FML

Today, I was about to make out with my boyfriend, so I quickly swallowed my gum. Moments later, I started choking on the gum, and ended up spitting it out into his face. FML

Today, while giving speech in class, I choked on my own spit and had a coughing fit while everyone stared at me intently. When I finally regained my composure, my teacher told me my time was up and to sit down. I hadn't even got finished the first paragraph. FML

Today, I noticed a cute girl in the checkout lane at the store. Feeling a little flirtatious, I decided to blow a bubble with my gum to get her attention. I accidentally shot the gum out of my mouth onto the guy next to me, spitting all over myself in the process. FML

Today, I was walking to a job interview. I needed to get rid of some gum but there were no trash cans in sight, so I spat it out on the ground. Next thing I know, some guy grabs me, sticks the gum in my hair, and walks off, muttering curses. I couldn't get it out in time for the interview. FML

Today, I accidentally swallowed a piece of gum. My doctor says it'll pass in 7-10 years. FML

Today, during lunch at school, a wave of nausea came over me. I ran to the bathroom and made it just in time. As I was throwing up, I set off the toilet's automatic flush and my vomit came flying back into my face. FML

Best teeth in the game

Today, I was chewing my pen while I was paying attention to my teacher. I chewed a bit too hard, and something broke off, so I casually looked at my pen. It was unharmed. One of my front teeth had broken off. Everyone in class, including the teacher, had to see it before I could call my dentist. FML

Today, I gave a presentation in class. I felt pretty good about it, until afterwards when I was told I lost points for communication because I'd been chewing gum. I wasn't, I just have a speech impediment. FML

Today, I was running on a soccer field and accidentally dropped my gum from my mouth. No one had noticed so I picked it up and started chewing again. It was a different flavor. FML

Today, I saw my boss heading my way at work. He has a "no food in the office" policy, so I quickly scarfed down my Pop-Tart. I ended up choking on it so hard that I threw up. FML

It's gum, and this may be one of the worst situations that could have happened. Funny how you break the rules and there are immediate consequences . I'm also trying to figure out how you don't throw up every time you drink water or eat...

Could of simply hidden it, or binned it, and just put in a new piece after the line.

How big was the gum that you couldn't swallow it? I think, in the future, don't chew gum at school.

There are 2 sexual comments out of the 32 (1/16th), and OP never gives their age. OP might be underage, or inversely, over age, so they're doing nothing wrong. EDIT Replied to the wrong comment, my bad.

Sigh, it's people like you that force them to have such stupid rules. My old school let us chew gum but when I transferred to some Catholic school with Neo-Nazi rules they had absolutely no faith on their students, and one of many rules is no gum. And when someone breaks it, we're all blamed.

Yes because all that matters in a woman, even a high-school aged one, is her ability to give head!

Why would anyone not say YDI. Maybe you shouldn't have been breaking a strict school policy.

The no gum rule is generally because of idiots sticking gum under the desk or other places used gum does not belong. Other reasons include choking hazard, apparently barf hazard, and disrupting the class.
