You are being a little too sensitive and insensitive as well. That woman could have never known you had a health reason for chewing your gum. I don't care what any of the other "modern" folk say on here, chewing gum at work is NOT professional. If you HAVE to do it, if there is NO OTHER WAY IN THE WORLD for you to help your problem (which I refuse to believe), then just keep it discrete and polite, and if someone is disturbed by your "necessity," explain why you're doing it. If you don't want to reveal personal information, that's understandable, but let them know that you have a medical issue whose intensity is lessened by doing this. By calling that women rude and insensitive, you are no better than she is. Some people such as myself are driven insane by just the sight of people chewing gum; plus if you've never seen someone before then you obviously you don't know anything about them so...you can't make a fair judgement. She shouldn't have judged you and you shouldn't have judged her.
Yeah - next time I would tell them you chew it for a medical reason. If they are still upset about it, that's their problem. I can see how it looks a little unprofessional but it's not like you're waiting tables!
Customer told me to stop chewing gum at work?
