...or is it considered acceptable these days to share one's bodily fluids with everyone else?

[MrsThierryHenry]

I'm going to have a whinge.

I hate people sneezing and not covering their mouths.

I hate people coughing and not covering their mouths.

I hate people spitting or coughing up great big balls of green phlegm and leaving them on the pavement.

I hate people leaving their dog sh*t on the pavement.

There. I've had my moan. Am I really being all that unreasonable? Or is anyone else with me?

No not unreasonable at all. I hate all that too.

some folk are just grotty

the dog shit one really gets me, we walk down a lovely quiet tree lined path to get to dd's school but it is always covered in dog shit. i am so fed up of cleaning dd's shoes.

Bleurgh at number 3!!!

YANBU!

yy, YANBU

All listed above is horrid

I hate all that too, especially the doggie doo which we had to dodge this afternoon when coming home from school.

I abhor spitting - so unnecessary. Do it into a hanky if you must

yanbu bleughhhhhhhhhhh

You're definitely not being unreasonable.

It makes me so

I totaly agree YANBU

As a dog owner I really detest seeing dog poo left lying around, it's not the dog's fault but their LAZY owners.

Bumper - I know! How much does a blardy tissue cost?

Does sneezing without opening your mouth count? If i can't get to a hankie quick enough...

Godzilla! I suppose it depends on how much nasal 'spray' shoots out...!

Too much detail!!!

My ds sneezes very violently and I have told him/pleaded with him bribed him, to put his hand over his face, will he do it, will he hell. Now he gets a demerit on his reward chart if he does this. IMO it is socially unaccetable to do any of these nowadays. Mind you I haven't seen any WHITE dog shit in years.

I reckon that someone bet MrsTH that she couldn't start an AIBU thread on which not one person would tell her that she was, indeed, BU.

However, I cannot force myself to say that you are being even remotely unreasonable to object to all of the above, so I'll help you win your bet: YANBU!

Oh I HATE all those too - even my 3yr old knows to cover his mouth when sneezing and coughing - and the only time he gets to spit, is the toothpaste into the sink! The dog shit one really is the worst IMO because there is something in it that can cause blindness isnt there??

And whilst we're on the moan here...
I am not a cat owner, but why is it UNacceptable for a dog to shit wherever, but acceptable for a cat? Cats are not clean animals - they may be clean in your home because they don't shit there - they shit in everyone elses gardens - the previous owner of my house had a cat - just the one cat - and they left us with the worst case of fleas that our environmental health department had ever seen - filthy i tell you!

When I'm in charge, spitters will be first up against the wall.

Not unreasonable. But, remind me never to introduce you to my DS.

yabu

no reason. just like to swim against the tide

Ellbell - hahahahaha!

Thing is, if everyone agrees with me, why is there so much sht and pss and phlegm, etc, all over the place? Surely someone, somewhere, must think it's acceptable, right?

(unless it's just Amphibimum doing her deeds all over the world?!)

I suppose their mum's do?
I've had a lot worse from my DD!!!!

I agree with them all but then (confession alert), I do spit on the grass when running if I've got a greeny....

it's only teenagers who plegm up in public isn't it, amd smokers

oh and footballers.... yuk!

Arrrrgh, YANBU.

Yesterday I was sunbathing on the beach, and a middle aged man came back to his towel after swimming in the sea, did a huge phlegmmy (sp) spit and blocked off each nostril one by one so he could snort out the snot five feet away from where I was lying. YUCK.
