Spitting

I know I’m not but I need to rant.

DP spits all the time especially when ever we are walking anywhere ie walking the dog. I complain about it all the time and he says he can’t help it but I have never once considered I needed to spit let alone in public.

I just think it’s awful manners, he’ll do it with other people around and I’m so embarrassed about it.

WIBU to push him in the lake next time he does it while we’re walking the dog?

Bloody hell. I recoil when I see a stranger doing this in the street never mind a partner.

You have my sympathies OP.

It's definitely not just men. Plenty of women do it too.

I have yet to see this happen, ever. Throughout my whole life.

Me either.

I couldn’t be seen in public, or be with someone in private who did this. It’s just disgusting. What are his amazing qualities that allows you to overlook this?

That's your experience but I have.

Nope, it's rank.

Mabelface · 16/01/2021 09:46

Dirty bastard. Does he walk with his hand down his pants too?

Oysterbabe · 16/01/2021 10:06

Disgusting. There's no way I'd have married a spitter.

SpudsandGravy · 16/01/2021 10:13

Really disgusting :-( I know I couldn't be with somebody who behaved like that.

speakout · 16/01/2021 10:16

Never seen a woman spitting in the street.

It's vile.

I think footballers set a very bad example.

Op I couldn't be with someone who spits. It is truly disgusting.

Hotelhelp · 16/01/2021 10:17

I wouldn’t leave the house with him that is utterly disgusting and just unacceptable. He should be ashamed of himself.

megletthesecond · 16/01/2021 10:18

I've seen girls and women do it, not as often as blokes though. I walk almost everywhere so it's easy to spot.
Some of my neighbours are gross.

Meowchickameowmeow · 16/01/2021 10:19

He's spitting in public during a pandemic? What a prize. At the best of times, it's disgusting and anti-social but right now can he not engage a bit of common sense and realise why he shouldn't be doing it?
Next time look at him in absolute disgust and say loudly 'Can U Not Trevor'?

MrsPatrickDempsey · 16/01/2021 10:22

Why?? Just why does he need to do that??? Yuck. At least use a bloody tissue or hanky.

schmockdown · 16/01/2021 10:32

How absolutely revolting. I couldn't be with someone who thought it was ok. If he has some kind of imagined medical issue he needs to carry a spittoon 🤢 🤮

London1977 · 16/01/2021 10:32

I can't imagine going out with amyone who spits. Filthy pig. And I'm from a council estate in east london surrounded by spitters. If my sons spat i'd go crazy.

knowsmorethansnow · 16/01/2021 12:59

It is vile and if me and my family were passing you when he did this we would find it disgusting and probably judge you the same for being with him.

Hoiking · 16/01/2021 13:08

Tell him you are worried someone you know might see you walking with someone who spits, and you couldn't bear the shame.

I know I couldn't.
