There's this one dude who chews gum as he dictates the patient demographics. It's not super annoying and I can hear that part all fine. Then, as he dictates the body of the report, he bites down on the gum and talks with only his lips and tongue while keeping his teeth clenched on the gum. And he talks fast while he does it.
I know he does this because I reproduced it myself, as I'm a constant gum chewer, but I cheek my gum when I talk, not clench it in my teeth like that guy does. And it physically HURT me to talk like that! How he can do it for lengths of time, I have no idea! He is a pain management specialist though, so maybe he's giving himself a little somethin' somethin'.
:-D
