Spitting: Fucking pisses me off!

We call that a “farmer blow” around here. :smiley:

Not funny, factual, or cool, you thundering moron.

Tactful?

pfft

Brain dead is more like it.

It’s always been a “snot rocket” in my circle (which includes dippers, chewers, and those who love us)

When I was in the foodservice industry as a dishwasher, there was a person on food prep who spit at least 10 times during a shift. For some reason he wouldnt spit in the trash cans near his place, he went over to where I was washing pots and pans and spit in the trash can there. I went passive/aggressive on his ass and started to habitually pile more and more stuff on the trash can until it became too much of a problem for him to spit in it. He left shortly after.

Whew, what a relief! I thought the OP was complaining about his sex life. I mean, what’s wrong with “doin’ it”? :smiley:

On second thought, I wish it HAD been. This is about one of the grossest threads I have ever read.

My son used to spit in the kitchen garbage can. Then i would be pushing the last bit of garbage down to make more room and MY HAND WOULD LAND IN IT. I quite nearly killed him.

Hmm… this isn’t the place to discuss David Sunflower Seeds vs. Planters Sunflower Seeds, huh?

As bad as it is, and trust me I know IT’S BAD, what is even worse when they DON’T spit.

I was once stuck in a class with a sinus-infected moron from hell who just would not WOULD NOT fucking blow his nose- instead I was treated to:

SSSNNNIIFFFF

SSSSNNNOOORRRRTTTTT

HHHAAAAAWWWWWAAAAAAAACCCCCKKKKKKKKK

::GULP::
It was an occasional thing all winter long. I just don’t have the words to express how utterly sickening that was. I really learned a lot of self-discipline during that time period as I learned how to distract myself when I felt my gorge rising.

Can I get a hearty round of “YUCK!” here?

I know people here who spit for no goddamn reason. They don’t have any flem(or whatever you call it) in their throat. They just spit salavia, and often to boot. Look, it’s not nice to spit out that other gunk, but with saliva their is no FUCKING reason.

Or Japan, even.

I just don’t get it, there’s an almost pathological obsession with cleanliness (at least superficially) here, and yet so many people are walking around spitting you wonder how the sewers keep from overflowing.
