Apparently, if you get gum stuck to your clothes, you can get rid of them by putting it in the freezer for an hour or so. When you remove them, the gum will be brittle and can be cracked off.
As for gum on surfaces, ym advice is to wait until it dires, then apply a trowel, chisel, or if stuck, a sharp knife.

Chewing gum in hair is the worst, my sister once accidently (so she says) stuck some in my hair, luckily at the end so we could cut it out without making too much of a mess!

I had it cut out of my hair on numerous occasions when I was a child.
If you get it on carpets, or anything that you can't put into the freezer, put some ice cubes on it, so that you can pick it off later.

One thing we once found that was even harder to remove than chewing gum - acrylic paint on top of nail varnish! One of my friends had to wait about a week until it started to come off her nails on its own, we never wore nail varnish on days we had art ever again. I think the paint bonded with the varnish or something, and completely covered it, so nail varnish remover didn't work...
