Why Do SOME People Spit? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1064107 United States 11/04/2010 08:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had a son who used to do this. I harped on him for years. Quoting: Ricfly52One day we were walking out of a parking spot, and he spat. I turned and planted my huge working man's paw on his nose at about 50 miles an hour. He rolled under a parked car, comes out and says, "gees what is wrong with you". I told him if he ever spat in public again, the next time it would be a total ass kicking. He doesn't spit anymore. At least not in my or his mothers presence. This is a disgusting brain dead, habit that thug or macho males do. They just need to be set into their real place. Which is chickenshit land. What the hell, you alright?? Maybe you can beat his ass if he ever farts after some Taco Bell. What's wrong with some of you people acting like guys do this to impress someone? If I fart in your Mother's face am I hitting on her? What the fuck planet is this |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1148157 United States 11/04/2010 08:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Please note I said "Some" men before you all come along and attack me, lol. Quoting: *Jentle*I was working today and had to go to the shop next door to get some change. A guy came along and I heard the throaty noise first before he grogged up a greenie which just missed my shoe. I didn't say anything to him: I was too busy trying not to vomit from retching. Why do guys do that? Even when I'm driving and stop at traffic lights, I see men winding down the window and projecting some lung filled bodily fluid onto the road, although I think it hits my car sometimes. Sportsmen, especially footballers, are always filmed on TV just as they spit out. Why? I would have thought that their mouths would be dry from running around the pitch for 90 minutes. Do men produce more saliva than women. Or more yucky lung stuff. Or does this just happen in the UK? Sorry guys, but the ones who cough up the groggy stuff and spit it in the street should be shot. I think they are trying to prove their manhood, kinda like farting. |

He said: "If you're smokin' put it out in your hand, if you're chewin' SWALLOW it!" Two boys, one from West Virginia and the other from South Calinky went "gulp". They puked on the tarmack about a minute later. Things went downhill from there. And so it began... "I'm still here, you bastards!"...Papillion |

Sometimes when you walk across a parking lot, you can't help but see the mucous on the ground. What happened to someone that they decided spitting was a good thing? Is it a lack of social grace, or a general hatred of mankind? Does spitting get them dates? Are there secret spitting societies? Is it a learned behavior, or an unconscious act? |

It's lack of proper upbringing. We were (my family) considered "white trash"". On the same basic social status as black people. My Father (or my Mother) would have slapped our heads til they rang like church bells if we'd have spit in public let alone in the presance of a lady.

Pee, poo, and boogers are cute for a very short period of time in the life of a child. I wonder if those who publicly spit are somehow trying to re-live past feelings of cuteness? Acting out in a kind of anal-retentive way, without all the hyper-vigilant busyness? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1152806 United States 11/04/2010 09:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Honestly, the short answer is, if you have something distasteful in your mouth, spit it out. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1152515It's really that simple. And most guys don't really give a fuck what you think of them, so they pretty much spit with impunity. Then again, this guy's probably right. |
