Chew..... then swallow.

I need to stop eating gum!

I was going through my day just fine. I popped in a piece of gum. 5 Gum, Elixir. It's not that strong, but it's okay. I tried talking to a customer. Talk, chew, talk, chew. Easy right?

Somewhere during that process the gum jumped right to the back of my throat. Why? i don't know. It stayed there. It was at the point where you could fucking do anything about it. It was just back there waiting to be swallowed. I tried! I tried so hard, but no use. I kept going back. WHAT THE HELL!? Why now? At this point I had to have made this awful face, maybe like I needed to take a crap. It was a horribly long experience, very long. I could see all the glares. The customer just stared at me. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine trick! I don't need your fucking sympathy!" I was going to be okay. I just popped another piece in. Do I never learn?
