Necklace Nommers

Something that truly annoys me is when people feel the need to "eat" their jewelry. Not just girls, but guys as well. It's disgusting to see someone chewing their chains, beads, and charms. Then, they spit out the drenched necklace and there it dangles around their neck for the whole world to see. Everyone does it, but nobody realizes the grossness of this terrible habit. Imagine you're sitting in class. Admit it, it's boring. You look to you're friend on the other side of the room. She's staring off into space, playing with her pencil and what's in her mouth? Her favorite necklace. She chews on it like gum as you watch in horror. After her little metal meal, she spits out her charm, coated in a slimy layer of saliva. Doesn't she realize how many germs were on that necklace, and are now in her mouth? Doesn't it gross her out that there's a big slimy charm around her neck? What's worse, is that she'll probably put it back in her mouth! (and I HIGHLY doubt she's gonna wash it!) So clearly, this horrible metal-munching, necklace-nomming, chain-chewing habit has really got to stop. Before people start getting sick from doing it, and sick from seeing it. People need to find another thing to do when they're bored in class (or just pay attention!!) Anything to stop this terrible taste for their jewelry! (just don't go eating pencils, either!!)
