Associate chews gum like a fucking cow

This goes on all day long, I can't fucking focus on anything. He sits in the cubicle next to mine. I don't want to have headphones on till later in the evening. Should I just tell him to keep his fucking mouth shut while he chews gum?

Just put your headphones on. No need to piss him off, especially considering its likely a habit that wouldn't be easily broken. Or just play some "white" noise (no, I don't mean Eminem's new CD) and see if you can 'cancel' it out.

Regards

Eat a burrito everyday for lunch and when he gets fed up with your gas, tell him you'll stop farting when he stops chewing gum and starts dipping....like a real man

Consider leaving an anonymous note if you're afraid to confront him yourself. Alternatively, sarcasm is usually a great way to get a point across that you're worried will come off as lame.
