    I'm sure everyone hates this. When it happens to me, on the one hand I want to be nice, but on the other hand I feel like saying "you fcuking idiot, how can you not be aware that you're spitting on me?"

    Would you tell someone you are talking to that they're spitting?

    Probably blowing smoke into your face and complaining about the noise from your radio at the same time.. The cheek of some people.

    If someone is shouting at me, I like to throw them off course by wiping my face as though they've spat at me.

    It's caused by overproduction of saliva

    AT me? No. Conversation ends if that ever happens.

    On the gtround? Would make me uncomfortable, definiltely. I'd keep distance.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Maybe they are spitting at you and disguising it with conversation...

    I believe talking too quickly and energetically is also a factor. If a person speaks slowly, it tends not to happen.

    I dunno. I think it's quite refreshing in this hot weather we've been having.

    This happens more than you think particularly at work. And the more you start to worry about it the worse it can get. Im not exactly sure what causes it but if I end up spitting ill acknowledge it straight away and say "Oh sorry about that, I hate when that happens!" rather than keep on talking when both you and the other person know you are pretending that nothing happened.

    I just pick them up and A) throw them out the door or B) ask them nicely to pick a window.....

    Usually solves the problem.....

    A 'friend' of mine was talking in the car window to my missus before and spit into her mouth... It was ehhhhh,, disgusting and hilarious in even numbers.

    I mean, most of us who are single have no difficulty at all in sticking our tongues into the mouths of complete strangers on a Friday night.

    If you were walking down Camden Street tomorrow morning, and I suggested you stick your tongue into the head of a stranger, you'd be disgusted. But probably hundreds of people do it on any given weekend night just along that bit of road, using one example.

    So I'm fairly ambivalent about spitters in that context.

    At least they get a say the gender and age range.

    What could it mean when a gangly youth cranes his neck and animatedly hocks up something that probably wasn’t there in the first place into your immediate path?
