Most of them chew sunflower seeds and other seeds, they gob out the husks...

I thought it was only a NYC thing. People are always spitting in the st. Woman in fur coats, men in business suits, young girls and Kids. I told a teen (15/16 yobo) off for spitting on the floor, right next to my foot. He said I should be very careful talking to him like that. He advised me to go back to my own country. He told him it was disgusting & furthermore I have lived here longer then him. Snot said he was going to get his peeps, I'm still waiting.

I have to admit that I spit a lot - I've always had problems with my sinuses and would rather spit the stuff out to be perfectly honest. However I have problems with:
- People who spit indoors - I've seen people spit in bars, betting shops, etc - wtf is that about, absolutely foul
- People who spit gum on the ground

Apart from that whilst spitting isn't pleasant by any stretch for some its a necessity.

I'm also a bit surprised by this thread - my yank OH hates me spitting even when I try to do it subtly. Apart from cowboys and baseball players I thought that it was a big no-no over here - obviously not :confused:

Well I do use monogrammed cloth hankies (seriously) and blow my nose into them, but unless my spit is going to be a particularly nasty one I prefer to leave it elsewhere is the hanky soon gets drenched that way :o
If I could master that footballer snot thing I could dispense with the hankies completely :)

Big Dave, don't get me started on the spitting gum on the floor. My # 1 pet hate is getting gum stuck under my sneakers or ridge soled boots. Stop Frank calm down, take a breath.
