To want to shout 'you dirty, horrible being'

[storminabuttercup]

Well actually replace being with fucker but it's nearly the holidays innit?

The young lad next door has got a horrid habit, we've lived here 4 years and I'm sure it's new but he does that horrid snorting sound followed by a spit. It's fucking disgusting. It's every night, outside and I can hear it. It makes me gag. He'll be at it again first thing.

WIBU to shout 'oi, do you have to do that? you dirty fucker'

Bleugh.

Oh god no, it's revolting. I'd probably start snorting and spitting into a bucket, collecting it all up then throwing it over the dirty little bastard.

YANBU. My housemate does it, it's a vomit-inducing sound What I don't get is that when he does it in the bathroom he spits it into the sink, but he does it in his bedroom too, where on earth is it going?! eurgh.

YANBU. That's as bad as dog poo. In fact it turns my stomach even more.

Ew I feel your pain, seems to be loads of snot gobblers by my work, you have to keep your eyes on the pavement to avoid stepping in the goo.

Thank god for all the rain lately.

I don't like it either but is it a cultural thing?

So what if it's a cultural thing?

It doesn't make it acceptable in the UK

If was a cultural thing would that make it ok?

Yes that makes it understandable. Not everyone follows english society rules.

Well they should start

Especially when it comes to spitting and spreading disgusting germs around

Cultural?

He's just a dirty sod.

That is filth, and not acceptable in any universe let alone culture. Dirty, trampy nasty boy.

Fucking vile bastard!

Throw a bucket of bleach over him.

Ew, I would actually vomit at that.

My Mum used to shout "stop spitting you filthy little oik" out windows quite frequently.

Sooooo unnecessary.

Believe it or not, this IS perfectly normal and acceptable in some cultures. Disgusting (to us), but true.

I don't like it either but we are not all the same. Doesn't make him Filthy necessarily.

Seriously, you can't say something so unacceptable to so many people is ok because it's cultural. How about female genital mutilation, that ok cos it's cultural, or forced marriage that ok too?

Good one griphook

Phlegm spreads diseases of course it's disgusting. It carries viruses and I don't want to step in it

I don't like it either but we are not all the same. Doesn't make him Filthy necessarily

Can you explain to me why?

Yes, spitting is perfectly acceptable in some countries...they even do it in certain restaurants.

However, I'm assuming the OP lives in Britain.

In Britain, spitting is not acceptable and not 'part of British culture'.

Therefore those who do it, need to respect that/us and stop fucking doing it.

It really is that simple.

And why should one person culture Supersede someone else's?

Agreed worra.

OP perhaps you can tell him about the new website I have just seen advertised - christianmingle.com

Maybe he will then see the error of his ways and fall in love with a nice girl

Oh, no, it's not my ds1 is it? He's just been doing this in the shower 'cos he's totally bunged up with hayfever. I agree it sounds horrible

Every time you hear it, do a louder more annoying noise...it will be like Pavlov's Dog...he'll eventually connect the two things and stop.

I would make a high pitched noise....like EEEEEP! Or I would yell "FREAK!" every time...or maybe one of those rape alarms? A vuvuzela perhaps?

Sole, there is absolutely no situation where throwing a bucket of bleach over someone would ever be acceptable.

The fuck is wrong with you?
