Spitting (Lighthearted)

One of my most hated things is people who spit! People who spit in the street, footballers who do it - I hate it!

I'm always very vocal about this; however, one response I got was 'it's only natural'.

Am I being unreasonable? 😂

YANBU It's a disgusting habit and I can see no physical reason for it.

It is disgusting but it is a natural function in some cultures.

It’s gross. Nearly always men I see doing it.

So is shitting. We shouldn't be doing that on the streets either

Nope YANBU. It's vile. Recently visited the park with dc and there was children purposely spitting (not just once, multiple times) in the park. We left straight away. I've seen adults do it too. Vile. 🤮😷

I didn't mean it as spitting is lighthearted. I meant it as I wanted a lighthearted thread! 😊

You need to give footballers, runners etc a pass https://www.livestrong.com/article/527592-why-do-i-spit-a-lot-when-jogging/]]

Last week, I narrowly dodged being spat on TWICE IN TWO DAYS. Both men saw my revolted look and apologised - if they're apologising they know it's disgusting so why were they doing it in the street? And especially during a fucking pandemic when we're actually wearing masks to prevent accidental micro droplets from infecting each other, what's the fucking point when they're expelling deliberate monster droplets Angry
