Here’s an idea for all the guys and gals out there who choose to spit in public : Don’t do it from an aerial perch where your view of oncoming foot traffic is obscured. I had the unique experience today of having someone else’s spittle and phlegm come squarely in contact with my exposed foot, and let me tell you, it’s not pleasant. It was all I could do to not vomit on the street right there and then – making an equally disgusting situation even worse. And to top it all off, the apology I received was simply a string of expletives I interpreted as expressing regret and remorse. I’m now going to research saliva-borne illnesses and viruses, because, oh yeah, some of it also landed on my lip. Num nummers. —Spit Shine

ok, on the lips… yeah, that’s gross…
but a little on the foot is nothing to vomit over.
you wouldn’t last one round on fear factor.
no eggz fuck that. I’ve been all over the world. I’ve eaten insects, no problem. But if some fucker spits on my foot, i’d barf too.
Fuck op i was eating when i read this 🙁
Gross.
Uuuggh public spitters are fucking disgusting!!! They usually seem to be smoking at the time too. Mmmm smokey ashy lung spit!!

seriously?
you can ingest a bug but touching mucus is where you draw the line?
christ….
you’re lucky you don’t have a dog…
or are you the type that just wouldn’t clean up after it because it’s ‘gross’?
yeah, thought so.
i mostly hate the ones that go all “chhhhwwoookk!” and then spit. It has a deep-lung consistency and is usually yellow.
And eggs, actually yes. Bugs are clean. And i have three cats that puke regularly. Just not on my foot. And when i accidentally step in it? Yeah it’s fucking gross. But it’s part of being a cat owner. I don’t own these losers spitting around the city (although one might argue that i should because at least a healthy chunk of them are supported by the taxes i pay but whatever…)
I am not freaked out by shit or piss but spit and bandaids drive me nuts. I’m sure you have some pussy thing that grosses you out too that i could tell you is retarded.
also, not as gross when my cats barf. They’re not white trash covered in the syphilis of a thousand one night stands
i ussed to hate driving behind kids, they lean out window, and let this great big fucking gob of shit go. but now the seatbelt law contols most of them.
Saliva aids with digestion. There’s no need to hawk up and spit on the ground for everybody to see and/or step on. It’s rude and idiotic. Lower the expectorations.
DISGUSTING. Anything that comes out of another human is gross and has no business on my foot or otherwise. *Braces for backlash*
huh huh, you don’t wanna know what i was just thinking, justsayin. but yeah, some of that lung goop is pretty fucking gross. and it’s mostly fucking teens that are doing it, more girls too. what the fuck is cool about that?
