To the asshat who thought it okay to spit out of their car window on a busy road in afternoon traffic: Fuck you! Where do you think it would go at 80km/hour!? Do you understand the basic concepts of gravity and physics!?
Your huge loogie hit my car’s hood with a disgusting splat and bounced up, landing right on my windshield, where the wipers DON’T reach and I had to stare at your phlegm the rest of the way home. Not to mention how many times I gagged whilst trying to remove it from my car when I got there. Here’s to hoping that whatever plague you have keeps you up for many long sleepless nights, you disgusting neanderthal. —Saturn Ion

Omg that is sooo disgusting! What a pig!
I’ll never understand the spitting thing.
some people like to smoke cigarettes, I like to spit.
Pay back is a bitch.
I find it’s usually smokers who are the spitters! *Puff puff* *cough cough* *HAAACK SPIT*
Fucking nasty creatures you are.
i can’t see this as being an issue, now if someone spit right in your face and it was really gross and slowly slid down your face…that would be bad
I have considered spitting in the face of a smoker that blows smoke in my face, but this tactic is not needed now that there is a smoking ban in most public places.
Were you following too closely?
“Better out than in” …or that’s what Shrek always says, & I agree with him.
Chances are you were so far up the ass end of his vehicle that ‘gravity’ didn’t have a chance to act…which since its always there ( or seems to be working out here yet again) seems to be the only explaination…so BACK OFF .
Lets do some basic physics….
A falling body falls 32 feet in the firsr second. If a driver at windshield height spits 32 feet into the air, it would take about 2 seconds for the spit to land on the windshield of the car behind him.
So I ask a simple question, is it possible that OB was following too closely to the spit miester?
GV…what about wind vortex created by the mass of the vehicle moving through the air which would be moving at a slower rate of speed & probably in a different direction from vehicle ?
Not to mention the currents created by the so called aerodynamics of said vehicle’s passage… as well as gravity ~;)
i would assume, that hocker was traveling in a straight line. at a speed of 50 klm, in reverse, to get a factor of about 4.1 inches per foot. if that is the case, then we also have to factor in wind, temperature, and yes, wind chill factor. said spit hit over top of wiper, therefore, could not habeen from other driver i front. even tho, it hit hood first. therefore, i call supreme bullshit, and defy you to prove me wrong.
either that, or you were too fucking close, as others speculate here.
more, forces that are perpendicular to the vertical analysis are irrelevant.
And, you also asked about gravity……gravity causes a falling mass to fall at an acceleration of 32feet per sec, per second. I just assumed that you would understand that I’m making rough guestimates based on the affect of gravity. Come on man, this is high school physics, dust off the cobwebs. I’m dealing with 20 years of them LOL
BTW, my wife read this discussion and called me a nerd 🙂
why else would you be here?
I don’t understand spitting either. Why not just plug one nostril and blow snot on the ground, it’s just as disgusting? I prefer people to dispose of their bodily fluids in private.
OB is fairly certain the spit came from the opposite direction, from oncoming traffic. A down window was noticed…
