Spitting in public

Chorcai

I was walking past Connelly station and across the road there was guy skanger crossing the street, above all the hussle and traffic noise I could hear him hawking up what ever phlem he had left in his toes, he then spat this on the footpath, there was a taxi man standing by his car who just shook his head and rolled his eyes, few old ladys just looked on in disgust hands to their mouth in shock, I actully thought I was going to throw up. I'm alright when it come to blood/puke/poop but yesterday I was caught off gaurd or something.

Ok we have all spat in public at some stage but there was no need for such a huge macho display or spitting out what looked like a liter of milk with apple pureé.

If your going spit, spit into a drain or a bin, even the side of the road, not on the ****ing footpath, there is also no need for the loud HHHUUUCCKKKTTUUUUUOOOO sounds either.

Sykk

At least he didn't swallow!!

donmeister

At least its more accepted than swallowing :eek:

bronte

It is absolutely horrible. :mad:

I can't stand when some people make such a big deal of it, like they're expecting a prize at the end or something?

I walked around a corner in town* one day and straight into a huge gob of phlegm. Most disgusting thing EVER. Its not even a habit. Why people cant wait to get a tissue is beyond me?

A couple of years ago i was waiting for a friend outside the cie place in o'connell street, there was a gang of young fellas hanging around and one in particular was spitting like a llama with a chest infection, there was actually a puddle of spit around him! I don't think i've ever seen a more disgusting site. It's a filthy filthy habbit. Disgusting.

Was he an alien?

I can't abide it and I don't see why there is any need for someone to spit apart from when brushing your teeth. Why is it a sign of manliness for some people? I really don't get why disgusting those around you is somehow impressive to some people.

admiralofthefleet

its disgusting, i nearly heave when i see people doing it

opinion guy

Hmmmm yeah its is gross when people do that big public phlegmy one for no reason.

Thou i have to say I do spit when I run, but its either that are suffocate, and I think randomers would rather i spit on the ground that having to fish it out whilst resusitating me

IvyTheTerrible

It's absolutely disgusting. Can people not at least spit into a tissue?

The Chinese had an anti-spitting campaign before the Olympics, we should implement some of their ideas over here! :P

Degsy

Its even worse when you see girls doing it.
I was standing at a bus stop when a chinese girl walked by and casually hacked a looger onto the pavement a yard from where i was standing.
Disgusting and most unladylike!

Schism

Brilliant

Anyway spitting on the street like that is just another 'I'm a skanger, look how tough I am' thing.

They also had an anti-breeding campaign..... which I think had it been started here 15-25 years ago would have work wonders wrt limiting the amount of spitters on the streets today (among other benefits).

Abortions for some, miniature social housing for others.

totally agree.. she could be the hottest woman in the world - she'd still look horrible. Women spitting is one of the most disgusting sights.

If you have catarrh at the back of your throat, sometimes you have to spit out of sight when you have no hankerchief!

I'm always doing it I normally aim for the corner where a wall meets the ground, least then nobody has to walk into is and it makes a game out of it aswell.

And we're SUPPOSED to swallow, cos the stomach kills the bacteria.

A friend of mine used to get all sorts of abuse for doing this. He just didn't stop! It was only fair to slag the lad for such a horrible habit.

Its minging. I semi get it in football. But why is the camera always on the person that does it?

Fago!

I sometimes spit in public not realising that I'm doing it. It's a bad habit.

You can't. As i said earlier I sometimes have to spit when I run, especially if its cold and i haven't been out in a while. I get large volumes of mucusy (i.e. sticky) phlemg and have to spit it. If I tried to swallow it i'd choke. If i keep in in my mouth it collects and eventually I would choke. only option is to spit.

'snit' perhaps ???:D

Normal spitting never really bothers me, it's the fistfuls of giant green / yellow globuals of phlem that get me....

Nobody wants to see that shìt! It's worse when a dog comes along and eats it up, they love the taste of phlem!

Oh jesus thats gross. wheres the vomit smiley ?

I cannot stick spitting at all and I'm quite vocal about it - I even told my girlfriend I'd dump her if she ever spat in front of me again.

Anyway, I was coming out of the Ilac Centre one day on my way to college and I was eating a tasty tuna sandwich and quaffing a coffee. I saw this old guy walking towards me scrunch up his face and snort all the thick green snot from his nose and throat. Of course, he proceeded to deposit his morsel almost directly at my feet.

I vomited on the spot. It was fukking pantomime.

It is not a fúcking habit. Driving with only one hand on the wheel is a habit. Spitting in public is not!

Quality spelling of a spitting sound !!!!!

Saw some bóllix spitting in a swiming pool, not in the pool, he walked outta the sauna and spat on the tiled ground.

I spit when im at home in the countryside but if im walking on the street i try to avoid it.

Cheap Thrills!

I have to suppress the urge to punch these offenders in the face when I see this.

However, I could never swallow a snotty spit, I would vomit. The only thing to do is to discreetly spit it into a tissue (or if not available any small piece of paper) and then bin it or flush it.

Anything else is inexcusable. BEASTS! :mad:

Oh yeah I have to say thats something that really annoys me when someone spits at my feet. Some people do that for reaction I'm convinced

Hmmm there's worse things he may have been doing in the pool

Only knackers spit

My younger brother and his friends have gotten many a slap off me for spitting. It doesn't disgust me as much as it infuriates me. Especially seeing someone spit on someone! They deserve to have their face rearranged for that!

Somebody told me its illegal to piss but legal to shiit in the street because you apparantly have some control over your bladder but not your bowels.
Can anybody confirm this?
I do hope its true..

Down with this sort of thing! Where is your manners?
