Ah stop, some people are just rotten................:(

I was sitting outside the library last week and a guy walks past. He was aware that I could see him and another guy who was walking towards him. Next minute, he does that blowing snot out your nose that you see footballers do (holding one nostril shut and ewwwwwwwww).......

I swear I was stunned:eek:

Agreed don't see the big deal about it. As long as it's not spitting at anyone its not an issue.

Would you do it

Aidric

I don't condone doing it regularly but sometimes you just gotta.

No I think spitting's disgusting, every time I see someone spit I pray the wind blows it back onto their face. Ugh.

And for people who spit and then go "what? I had something in my mouth, you don't expect me to swallow it?" Yes. Yes I expect you to swallow it. It's phlegm. It's yours. You should deal with it. If you really need to spit it out that badly, spit it into a sink. There's no need for the non-spitting public to have to constantly watch out for stray flying sputum, thanks.

The reason spitting died out from the 1880s onwards was because it spread TB. Its also suspected to help spread Sars.

It's perfectly acceptable in the bedroom.

You gotta lube up some way.

Anyone I see spitting, I get the immediate impression that they are the lowest form of common denominator.
I mean seriously, you wouldn't spit on your bedroom or living room floor would you?
Are such pigs just too lazy to use a tissue or go to a nearest bathroom?
Disgusting!
It shows a total lack of decent manners and respect for oneself - never mind others that have to walk then in your body fluids and bring it home on their soles of their shoes, possibly spreading too what ever the hell your suffering from that week.

Nasty so it is

Teyla Emmagan

It's the most disgusting habit, only practiced by complete scumbags who have no respect for their surroundings or anyone else around them. Even the sound of someone spitting on the street revoltes me, never mind walking along and nearly stepping in a big glob of somebody else's snot.

One of my scumbag neighbours spits every time he comes out his front door - right where all the rest of us have to walk. I even saw this total scobe spitting ON THE BUS once - he just leant over and gobbed into the aisle of the 67A.

You really have to wonder about how people are raised at times.

Doublin

I must admit I have this habit & I have been pulled up on it many times by friends I am out walking with (mainly wimmins). But, as a smoker & ex-TB patient, my lungs are pretty ****ed and any phlegm building up has to be cleared.

If I'm near a toilet I'll clear the phlegm there but if out I'll try to be discreet & not do it in front of others. Because I know how scumish it looks to have someone spit when you are walking close by; I'm sure though there are people going by in a car or walking the other side of the road thinking the same as is on this thread.

admiralofthefleet

its vile. the people who do it are pigs

Irish Guitarist

I hate it. I hate the sound of it hitting the path. I hate having to avoid walking in it everywhere I go. I especially hate when someone is walking behind me and they keep going "HAWWWKKKKKK!!" and I have to keep looking at my leg to see if they have hit me. This happened a while ago and I kept looking back at the scumbag behind me. He looked at me as if he was wondering why I was looking at him and he just kept on spitting.

There should be fines for spitting. The severity of the fine would depend on where they have spat and how big the phlegm is. For instance if someone deposits a massive fist sized ball of phlegm right in the middle of the footpath they would be fined €500 - €1000.

TB is gradually making a bit of a comeback and the new strains are frequently antibiotic resistant :eek:

Ficheall

And while we're at it we should fine people who smoke or drop their cigarette butts on the street, piss in the street, throw up in the street, or let their dog **** in the street - because even if you do pick up most of the ****e, there's still going to be remnants of it left. And people who drive their cars or motorbikes through town where people have to walk and breathe in the fumes.

Hande hoche!

People need to mind their own business and stay indoors if the outside/public annoys them

True somewhat, I got mine from traveling to Africa with work, but the strain I had was still treatable here (this was 2001) with the usual drugs for TB , it was a 'normal' strain. The doctor's still were worried about what you are talking about, but it hasn't become a significant factor in the numbers here & didn't pan out in the fears that it would come here with immigration.

The majority are still Heroin addict's whose immune defence is basically zero. People with AIDS have the same immune defiency and were another major 'group' at risk.

silverspoon

Oh good Jesus, one of the most horrible, disgusting, scummiest habits I have the misfortune of dealing with most days of the week. (I travel in and out to Limerick for college most days and the bus station is slap bang in scumbag central) I've had people snotting and spitting for it to land pretty much right in front of me quite alot. The sound! The disgusting glob of what looks like a bit of lung on the ground! And the total lack of remorse by Anto with his tracksuit bottoms tucked into his socks, probably just to protect them from projectile phlegm...

easyeason3

I jog & walk a good bit but during the summer the flies & midges everywhere. I usually wear a baseball cap & keep my head angled down so the peak of the cap will protect my face from the flying fcukers.

Once or twice I have swallowed a fly & have had to spit, hock, nearly puke. I do this on quiet countrry roads where the only witnesses are the cattle looking over the ditch but I still feel disgusting.

I know they're judging me with their big brown eyes.

Johro

Some of the most disgusting words have got to be snot, mucus and pleghm...
Probably only so because of association but all the same, the sound of them, or of someone hawking up a gobful makes me feel sick..

Yeah. TB and SARS are huge problems here.
I can't believe that people still spit on the ground and help to spread TB and SARS.

Why is that?

I mean seriously, you wouldn't spit on your bedroom or living room floor would you?

Do you regularly sleep on the streets that you walk down?

Are such pigs just too lazy to use a tissue or go to a nearest bathroom?

Pigs? Mmmmmmm! Bacon.
You live in Drogheda or Dundalk or somesuch place, right? Are public bathrooms readily available there?

Disgusting!

I'm completely shocked and appalled.

It shows a total lack of decent manners and respect for oneself - never mind others that have to walk then in your body fluids and bring it home on their soles of their shoes, possibly spreading too what ever the hell your suffering from that week.

I'm not a doctor, but I'm faily certain that phlegm and saliva on the bottom of shoes cannot carry communicable diseases for too long.

You really have to wonder about how people are raised at times.

Celbridge is a hole filled with scum, as far as I'm concerned. That's just personal opinion.

Anyway, this whole phlegm thing cracks me up.
I'm a heavy smoker (yeah, shocking stuff altogether), and as such I regularly get a bit clogged up.
Now I'm not going to hock up a big lump of crap in front of people, but I'll be ****ed if I'm going to swallow it.
That's smoking covered.

If, like me, you were allowed to play on the streets when you were a child, your immune system should be strong enough to withstand a case of the sniffles (commonly known as the flu to pussies).

When you have a case of the sniffles, you may get a build up of phlegm. This is caused by your body fighting the infection.
Once again, I'm not a doctor, but all of this actually happens to people. Honestly.

With the chesty cough comes phlegm.
Now you can choose to swallow the stuff that your body is fighting to reject, or you can spit it out.
As both a smoker and someone who get a dose of the sniffles about once a year, I choose to spit it out.

Am I a scumbag because of this?
No, I'm not. I'm a scumbag because of other things.

Do I like that I occasionally have to cough up phlegm because of my government supported addiction to cigarettes?
Of course not.

Do I like that my body creates phlegm in order to remove the bacteria from my body when I'm sick?
Fúcking right I do.
My immune system is awesome, and I don't give a flying fúck what any of you think when I spew the badness from my body.

Keep on swallowing and stay sick if you want. Take all those anti-biotics too.
Me and my offspring will be the ones who survive.

As for taking tissues with you; we (the sane people who don't think that we are going to be infected by others (and I say this as someone who suffered from germaphobia)) don't always remember to take them with us. nor do we care.
