Gum popping is only fun when you are the one doing it

So I managed to fit in a quick workout at the gym tonight… my friend and I went for 30 minutes and it seems lately every time we go you could write a Seinfeld episode about our experience… tonight a young woman asked if we were watching the television set because she wanted to change the channel… we were fine with the channel switch but then all of the sudden it sounded like someone had a huge sheet of bubble wrap… popping each little air pouch one at a time… no… no.. it was gum popping… and I mean this girl was good at it… we were almost finished with our workout so we only had to endure the sound for a couple of minutes but it was very much like someone tapping their pen… immediately annoying… Don’t get me wrong I have done my share of gum popping.. but I will think twice about it in the future.
What sounds annoys you at the gym or anywhere else for that matter?
Other gym sounds I can live without:
1. People who constantly clear the phlegm from their sinuses (I am not kidding… one night a guy did this every 15 seconds or so)
2. People who hold onto the treadmill for dear life and as they walk allow their feet to rake over the plastic base of the treamill with every step (loud and hard to drown out with even the loudest of headphones)
