The other day I was hanging out with a friend and he had an aquaintence over that I had never met before.
We went outside for a smoke and this guy kept spitting and spitting and spitting.
He spat on the ground about every 10-15 seconds or roughly 5-6 times per minute.
It took him about 10 minutes to finish his cigarette and I'd guess that he spat at least 40-50 times.
It was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. The puddles of spit were all over the ground and I had to avoid stepping on them.
At my former job, there were lots of guys who would go out on break and each of them would spit up a storm and literally cover the ground by the front doors in spit.
It got to the point where I eventually said something to the managers hoping they would institute a no spitting policy but it never happened.
I used to spit all the time when I was a teenager and also in my early 20's but as I've grown older, it seems so nasty to me now.
Nowadays, I only spit if I absolutely have to...say, when I hock up a nasty green glob (loogey) and don't want to swallow it.
And I always make a conscious effort to spit so that no one sees me doing it.
One of the biggest turn-offs to women is a guy who spits all over the place. (and since I'm single and looking...)
How about you?
Did you ever or do you currently have a nasty spitting habit?
What do you think of people who spit all the time and do you ever say anything to them?
