Bellend Sebastian Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13134283 A more salient question for me would be, 'Should people that spit in public be murdered on the spot', one that I would wholeheartedly and cheerily say 'yes' to. I flumping well hate spitting. Can you tell?
Jackirius Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 Not for example when you are playing football or something, but the dirty little chavs which walk round and spit every other step really do get on my wick.
Corky Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 I can see why sportspeople do it, but if you just walking down the street at normal pace is there a need to spit?
zubi Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 What if you've got a bad cold and you've got a lot of phlegm and don't want to swallow it But yeah, I don't like it when people spit for no reason, I especially don't like it when people stand in one place smoking and spitting, then after they leave is a pool of brown spit. That is nasty.
Jiggers the Fox Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 Pretty disgusting if you ask me, no need for it whatsoever.
Bugg Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 When you have a massive greenie, you have to spit it out. So my answer is no.
The Doctor Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 What if you've got a bad cold and you've got a lot of phlegm and don't want to swallow it Cough it up into a tissue and throw the tissue into a bin. I completely agree with bellend - kill the ****ers, that'll teach them.
Guest Mee-9 Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 Should be lined up and shot. Hate people that spit, Some woman did it on the train once, proper greenie. Just sitting there on the carpet. What a tramp.
MPH Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 What if you've got a bad cold and you've got a lot of phlegm and don't want to swallow it But yeah, I don't like it when people spit for no reason, I especially don't like it when people stand in one place smoking and spitting, then after they leave is a pool of brown spit. That is nasty. oh. Lovely. share your bad cold with the rest of the street then. thanks alot. but just as long as you dont have to swallow a bit of phlem dont worry about the rest of us....
zubi Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 Cough it up into a tissue and throw the tissue into a bin. Ah, but ofcourse!
BoneDog Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 HHHHHHHHOCK PUDDDDDD DING. No way I'm swallowing flem. Not that I hardly get any, but if it appears it's going over somebody's hedge or down a drain I'm afraid.
Simmo86 Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 Depends on the situation. Just randomly flobbing is out of order, but in cases of playing sport or being caught out with a massive greenie then as long as its done discreetly I see no problem
MPH Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 HHHHHHHHOCK PUDDDDDD DING. No way I'm swallowing flem. Not that I hardly get any, but if it appears it's going over somebody's hedge or down a drain I'm afraid. TB- helped to be spread by public spitting. Common cold - helped to bespread by public spitting Flu- helped to be spread by public spitting diptheria, measles... bronchitis.... plus any other upper respiritory tract infection is in part caused by people who carry that disease spitting in public
BoneDog Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 I don't go round flobbing all over the streets. On the rare occasion that I need to get rid of something I do it straight down a road drain or over a hedge into a bush or something like that. Never near other people as it's annoying and rude! If I had diptheria, measles or bronchitis I defo wouldn't spit in public.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 You're right as always Supreme Chancellor Elect. EDIT: Will there be special dispensation for the Welsh?
Bellend Sebastian Posted 20 April 2011 Author Posted 20 April 2011 You're right as always Supreme Chancellor Elect. EDIT: Will there be special dispensation for the Welsh? Thank you, Minister. Free tissues for the Welsh. Free tissues for everyone. No funny stuff
BoneDog Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 I saw someone flob on a wire mesh fence near my local shop once and it must have been really thick and full of mucus because it just dangled there for about 3 days. It made me heave but when I walked past it I couldn't help but look. Horrible.
AoWW Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 Absolutely disgusting habit. The only time I (grudgingly) condone it is when people are playing a sport - but that's not like spitting all over a public street... unless they happen to be running a marathon in which case I can well imagine the need to spit. Joe Public walking along the street has no excuse, imo - if you've that much of a phlegm issue then cough it up into a tissue and put it in a bin.
Houdini Logic Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 The day people start picking up their dog shit is the day i'll start worrying about this
Finnegan Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 I have really shit sinuses. I spit. I try my best to be discreet about it, I'll shield it with my hand and spit in a bush when nobody's watching but I do spit. It's that or have a throat / stomach full of crap every time I feel a bit bunged up. I'm not carrying around six hundred thousand tissues and filling my pockets with germs to be put in the nearest bin just for the sakes of a few overly sensitive people who probably have horrendous anti-social habits of their own (because, let's face it, everyone does SOMETHING that someone else finds intolerable.) People needlessly swaggering down the road casually spitting through their teeth because they think it makes them badass, however, I whole heartedly agree - cull the lot.

Joe Public walking along the street has no excuse, imo - if you've that much of a phlegm issue then cough it up into a tissue and put it in a bin. I feel exactly the same way. Can't really add anymore to what you've put.
STEVIE B Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 I can see why sportspeople do it, but if you just walking down the street at normal pace is there a need to spit? what makes it OK for sportspeople to do it ? Footballers always do it. Children don't do it when they play footie. Cricketers don't either,as far as I'm aware. Must be lovely slide tackling through God knows what ! It's an adult football issue. It's not a great look seeing close-ups of Wayne Rooney gobbing everywhere on SKY. Or maybe he's never been shown how to swallow,bless him,and his footie mates !!
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 In Scotland it's really bad there seems to be a golly every 3 metres on the footpath in Edinburgh
Bellend Sebastian Posted 20 April 2011 Author Posted 20 April 2011 I'll cheerily swallow my greenies, it's hardly like eating your poo is it? I do draw the line at other people's though
STEVIE B Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 In Scotland it's really bad there seems to be a golly every 3 metres on the footpath in Edinburgh That'll probably be the rain,each time I've been it's hammered it down !
