I really hope this crosses the water.

Spitting is the most vile and disgusting thing in the world and imo completely unnecessary.

What about a chap choking with sinuses problems? Not something you can prep for.

I say spit away.

How do soccor players produce so much phlegm? When I play sport or run or whatever, I don't hawk up as much as they do? Is it the hard man image or something?

markomuscle

does this include sports players during games?

Play To Kill

Got a cough or a cold? Better not go outside in case you get fined for clearing your throat. Silly law!

Ever been to China? They'd collect a lot in fines if they ever brought it in there

Is it OK to have a flute?

Yes, you'll have to pay the spittle tax though.

Why chewing gum

GUM CHEWING'S FINE WHEN IT'S ONCE IN A WHILE.
IT STOPS YOU FROM SMOKING AND BRIGHTENS YOUR SMILE.
BUT IT'S REPULSIVE, REVOLTING, AND WRONG.
CHEWING AND CHEWING ALL DAY LONG
THE WAY THAT A COW DOES

Please inform yourself of the ailment before any glib out of hand comment. That is just embarrassing.

Are you made of money for little 10 packs of tissue, or do you expect us to top up with big roll every time we're in the loo?

I really lose a little bit of respect when I discover someone is a spitter. You should always swallow.

Ban blowjobs too. They're worse. French kissing? Disgusting. We should all become robots.

I don't give a **** what you do, as long as you don't spit phlegm all over the place.

Loads of things are worse. Rape. Racist acts. Violent crime. Pooing on the street. Exposing yourself to kids and their grannies. Farting on a baby. Assaulting someone's fingernails. Forced cheese eating. And many more!

Well you can't have oral sex in public, sure it's fun but it's against the mutha ****n law.
You can spit all you like at home.
My friends Mam used to make him spit into the bin.

Hitchens

should elderly people be exempt?

suicide_circus

Scaldy shabby ignorant fookers spitting their vile cummy gob all over the shop. Fine the *****.

Of course there are. I didn't mean it imply otherwise.

But spitting is one of the worst things I encounter on a daily basis, right up there with people who leave bags of dog poo on walls or fences rather than carry them to a bin, and I think punishment is order.

It's not that hard to carry a tissue.

Have you seen the massive grollies that get hawked up? And you expect people to put them in their pockets? Eeuugh. That's why God invented grass verges.

Have you ever gone distance running. After a while it's impossible to do anything but spit. Spitting has it's uses, otherwise humans wouldn't have evolved to do it.

We obviously have a lot of long distance runners roaming the streets.

It would explain the tracksuits I suppose.

I love spitting! I'm a "spit spotter" there's a group of us that go around taking pics of hocks on the ground & we mark them for thickness, size & colour,
have even scraped a few up & brought them to group meetings to show the wondrous beauty of our finds.

greenbicycle

oh god, there is even a picture of the offending spit on the ground in the article. Cannot finish my porridge now, feel so sick.

Pockets, sleeves, bins, anywhere but on the ground.

You know what happens when you swallow?

It gets spread all over your trachea and oesophagus.

Then you breath it in and get a chest infection that you don't lose for 6 weeks.

A few winters of get cold>swallow phlegm>get chest infections and your looking at athsma, decreased lung capacity, and you'll still be hocking it up like a smoker.

If you can, find a bathroom to cough & spit into.

If you can't find a bathroom, get a tissue and bin it after.

If you can't find a tissue, find a drain.

Can't find a drain, make sure you're spitting somewhere no one will see it on the ground, will be walking on it & no one's seeing you do it.

If all the above are not options, ****then****, you can swallow.

You are talking about phlegm, right?

At the risk of sounding like a bit of a snob, I find that those who spit in public are almost always the same... type of people.

You obviously don't smoke 20 ciggies a day so.

Let's ban ciggies too like I think their doing in Iceland soon.

And we can ban music as it's too loud.

And smiling, let's ban that too, it's simply just not fair on sad people to see other people smile.

EXCELLENT!!!
