Spitting should be outlawed again like back in the TB days. Other disgusting stuff like nose/arse picking, I mean really, please, stop! Nose picking solution: tissue. Arse picking solution: better personal hygiene! Unless you are on medication that induces severe rectal itching! (that was in some Wayans brothers film)

Ah, the odd spit here and there is grand if you got a cold and you need to get rid of it or whatever. Problem is people walking by will think you're a dirty fúcker.

[Ruu]

People breathing too loudly, just stop. Ahhhhh can't take it anymore, wreckin' me head *runs off*

Some people obviously have more time on their hands then me. Or they have more mental RAM. I get on the bus, or stand at the bus stop, and think about the things going on in my life, and short of a honey walking past, dont take a blind bit of notice of the people around me.

And what is so disgusting about picking your nose in the first place? The nose is connected to the throat, which connects to the mouth, and what comes out of your nose is not smelly brown filth, but rather sweet and non smelly. So what does it matter if people like to touch it or even taste it? It could be alot worse!

How about when they shoot one out, but some part of it stays stuck to their bottom lip, and it does a bit of a bungee thing and then splashes all over their trousers and they rub it off with their hands.
Then you're left with a scobie with spit on his chin, lip, legs, and hands.

Yeurgh!

I'm getting many a scummy memory having read that! I saw an old man on O'Connell Bridge one day about 2 years ago putting a finger on one nostril and projecting snot through the other - and it all went horribly wrong..... I'll say no more

[fortuneg]

Few weeks ago i had this aul fella on the bus sitting infront of me, he obviously had some skin condition because his entire (bald) head was covered in sores and scabs.
Every few minutes he'd reach up and have a good long scratch, this produced a smell like cornflakes and caused a shower of flakes & scabs to rain down on my lap.

Delicious!

Can't stand little scangers down the back of the bus gobbing all over the place either, they can do it all they like on the street I don't care, but on the bus is just being a prick.

Speaking of the elderly...once while on Pearse Street I found myself walking in front of an old lady. She was the type who looked like the nicest person you could meet, and ni fairness she probably was. The point is that she didn't look like the type of person who would do what she did. I received a text message, stepped in towards the side of the path out of the way to reply, this meant that she walked by me. A few steps later, she stopped, did what was described above, although she pulled it off properly, then gobbed what she didn't spray out of her nose down on top of it. Another passerby kind of looked at her, the old lady just smiled, cleared her throat and went about her business.

Thats just not nasty! Also when they piss on the bus...tends to happen later on in the day, but its just disgusting. The problem is they're already doing it by the time you notice, so there's no point in telling them to stop. Not that they'd listen.

One of my friends, whose dad is a dublin bus mechanic, used to have a summer job in one of the garages cleaning the buses that were in. There were times when he didn't enjoy it.
