Spitting in Public

Zipp101

Noticing this a lot lately.

Big dirty hockers,and not just from kids,grown men and women (:eek:) also.Were talking on busy pedestrianised streets. The worst is when you hear them gearing up for it..
Should be fined for this stuff..absolute height of ignorance.

i agree, its absolutely disgusting, smokers tend to do it more than others ( I'm not just blaming smokers or saying that all of them do it !!!)

Stercus Accidit

Skangers do it, dirty habit for knacks in tracks with tracks.

bonerm

Scum from scum. :mad:

Atavan-Halen

Ugh, yuck. Why do people feel the need to spit all the time?!

mikom

Swallowing much more preferable to spitting....

Abi

Its rotters alright. I hate seeing them on paths, dirty big greeny things

This is the 'mother' of all filthy habits, absolutely fcuking disgusting!

Once it doesn't hit somebody I don't give a ****. Public urination is a bigger problem in fairness.

Yeah but do you want to step in someones dirty green phlegmmy spit?

It also spreads diseases.

Sharpshooter

It's a filthy thing to do, they should be made lick it off the ground afterwards imo.

Alanstrainor

Yeah it's absolutely sick, can't understand why people do it all the time, i mean you see people do multiple times just walking down the street, for no apparent reason. Scummers.

Riddle101

Yeah I don't like spitting either, but I would say smokers get a lot of flem in their throats and need to spit once in a while. I don't know I just always noticed smokers spitting. I honestly don't get spitting though, i'm mean i see a lot of kids spit like 10 times for some reason, and I just think they do it because it makes them feel like their hard and tough or something. I would expect spitting from a kid but from an adult it's different, to me it's somewhat disrespectful.

I was talking about if they were seen doing it.:pac:

Prof.Badass

I don't mind spitting that much if it's outdoors in the right place (if for some reason i have a big ball of phlegm i'd rather not swallow it so i'll try and find a drain or something- i'd never spit right in the middle of the street). It's when people do it indoors or on a bus (as some guy was doing yesterday) that it pisses me off :mad:.

sillyputty

Hate walking in front of someone and then you hear them trying to hock something up, makes my stomach turn.

Meh , some people are never happy. The minute you got her to swallow you'd be looking for a gargling performance.

pebbles21

I blame this fcuker tbh!

Bonito

Should be givin' the same fine you get for taking a piss in public/throwing a cigarette butt/spitting chewing gum onto the ground IMO.

Tchaikovsky

Hmmm, perhaps we should ban it.... yes, that always works.

BluesBerry

Its disgusting I hate to see people do it :mad:

My grandmother told me once that spitting was banned in public because of TB and other dieseses and people got heavily fined if they were caught

Herb Powell

Spitting into a drain ain't all that bad

Valmont

If I need to hock one up, I will. Although I usually place them on the road or in a corner. I wouldn't want to walk on a big green one.

Saw a guy (30s at least) hawking up a big one last week. He spat it on to the windscreen of a parked car. Walked into a nearby shop with a big smile on his face. It was early enough in the morning and he probably thought nobody would see him. Nasty thing to do.

I've seen some people do it indoors of a bar/club.

NoDice

No lie, I was walking to the bus stop this morning and as I was walking up a side street near Hill Billies, a staff fella spat from the entrance door and just about missed my leg! I nearly got sick! I heard it hit the ground! Ugh!!

Also shudder when I see rugby/soccer players spit during a match on tv. Yuck yuck yuck.

ScumLord

Is it not illegal to spit in a public place in this country ever since the days of TB?

bnt

Call me elitist, but I view someone's "on street" behaviour as a strong indicator of their social standing. It's not just spitting: if I see someone on a street shouting, getting drunk, showing too much skin, having arguments, or generally being obnoxious, that is someone I do not want to know. There's a place for all that stuff, and it's not the street.

Discreet spitting I have little problem with; it's the blatant "I don't give a **** gollier in full view" that really is pathetic. I spit every so often, but I am aware of my surroundings and wouldn't do it in full view of others who may get queasy.

where is this magical place for street shouting etc. if its not the street?

Bodhisopha

Sometimes you just gotsta spit, which i think is fine as long as you are aware of your surroundings and not blatant about it. I always try to direct it towards a wall or shop window so that nobody steps on it.

The big hock hock phlegmy ones do turn my stomach though.

I'll spit where ever the **** i want. **** off.

No, i'll just do what i want. I had my fun, that's all that matters.

Smoking's far more discusting imo.

monkeypants

I know someone who spits every ten to twenty seconds when walking down the street. I think it's disgusting, but I've never said anything. He's not a smoker. Is there any medical reason why someone would have so much excess saliva?
