I'm a guy, and I don't get the spitting thing.

[johnjohn320]

Seriously, what gives? Walking down the sidewalk, standing at the urinal, leaning over a balcony, drinking from the water fountain, etc....I'm always next to some guy who sounds like he's trying to conjure up some stomach bile. Then he leaves some nice juicy snot/saliva mixture in his target (the urinal/water fountain/street or sidewalk, etc).

It seems like a very "bro-y" thing to do, and I just don't get it. I've never had such an excessive buildup of saliva and snot (when I'm healthy) that there existed a need for it to be vacated from my body, out of my mouth, immediately. Everyone else naturally swallows and cyles through it over time, what's your problem?

Habit I carried over from chewing tobacco.

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

I had some co-workers that did that at the zoo. I don't get it either.

 

[spidey07]

That's my scent. I leave it everywhere I go.

 

[RedRooster]

Would you rather we whip it out and water the street? Cuz I'll do it man, I'll take a whiz right on that car over there, I don't care.

I used to spit a lot, but now I swallow.

how about powersnotting? That's even better. I saw a cook/chef of a fancy restaurant come out from the FRONT door of the place and powersnot. That must win the customers over... If I was the owner and saw that, his ass woulda been fired on the spot.

 

[moshquerade]

disgusting.

 

[MrPickins]

I'll spit I haven't had a drink in awhile and my mouth tastes funky. Usually I wait till I'm at the urinal, though. And if anyone has a problem with me spitting in a restroom, they should mind their own business.

I don't spit unless something gross is in my mouth.


that didnt sound right....

 

[aigomorla]

its mostly done by people who smoke or chew tabacco.

i cant see a normal person acting like a camel unless he had somthing very foul in his mouth.

 

[Kirby]

Spit if I have a cold, eating sunflowers, or chewing tobacco.

 

[KeithTalent]

The only time I ever spit is if I am running very quickly for a longer distance. I find it absolutely disgusting, but when I am exerting myself like that, it is often a necessity and when I do it, I try to do it out of sight of everyone and in a spot where nobody will see it lying there on the ground.

It is very gross.

[yh125d]

I very rarely spit. I'm also not gay. Coincidence?




haha, I only spit when I get some sand or dust blown in really

 

[palswim]

Sometimes, I'll cough up something I just don't want to swallow, so I'll try to spit discreetly.

Back on topic, I played sports all my life. Notice that "athletes" spit and stuff a lot more then other people even when not working out?

If I'm not running, I spit discreetly, but mostly, I try to blow my nose instead.

When I run, I spit freely. I also blow snot out of a plugged nostril with one finger covering the other nostril. If I feel like I have to expunge spit or snot, I just do it. No way am I going sacrifice my breathing and the quality of my run for the sake of appearing more polite.

The only concession I make is to direct my spit/snot away from fellow runners and passers-by. I have occasionally been spit on (accidentally) by other runners and that is fucking gross.

 

[alkemyst]

you got hair on your nuts yet, son?

 

[destrekor]

I spit frequently. But it's for no other purpose than to clear my breathing.
Why? Because I have fucked up sinuses and crap is always draining, and it gets into the back of my throat and kind of clogs it up. So yes, I'll be that guy that sounds like he is trying to conjure something up from deep inside his chest and spit, because I kind of have to. It's a great feeling once my throat is clear, though that feeling rarely lasts.

 

[KingGheedora]

I only ever do it as a sign of disrespect to someone who's nearby.

 

[amdhunter]

lol I read splitting, and I thought penises.

 

[lyssword]

They are probably smokers, ther's some shit building up in their throat.

I do not like eating mucus. So I propel it on the public sidewalk. Maybe it can find a better home elsewhere.
