Why do people spit on the sidewalk?

CMNTMXR81 · January 9, 2002

So I'm prowling the streets of the Loop here at lunch. Had to go to the bank, stop by GNC, and pick up some grub.

Well, as I'm walking, I look down and notice fresh, wet, green loogies all over the sidewalk no matter where I go. WHY???

Why must people (guys most likely) feel the need to hack on the sidewalks that are hugely busy with pedestrian traffic? Now we all have to walk through your swill.

Disgusting!!!!

I can honestly say that I think I have spit about 5 times in my whole life. I believe they all involved drywall dust! and thats through about 14 years of playing baseball at various levels....I cant stand that........by the way am I stupid? I just figured out that its "Cement Mixer...." duhhhhhhh! :stupid:

i don't see why they need to spit like that. once i was walking by Rave (a store in the mall) and a lady just spit a big ol wad of nasty stuff on the floor!!

Yeah, I don't see why people need to do it on the sidewalk - at least if you feel you absolutely have to spit, especially those large, green ones, go to the street and hawk 'em up!

And there's no excuse for doin it inside a building, on the floor!! YUCK

Actually that reminds me of the time I got a really nasty green one on my windshield one day, driving along @ highway speeds - didn't even see who "sent" it my way. Despite being gross, it was pretty funny!!

There are alot of guys at work that chew snuff. They spit all over the place out in the shop. (On the Floor or around the floor drains, hoppers, urinals, even the drinking fountains!!! )

Hey, I am pretty disgusted with this behavior. But our shop is smoke free, so all the smokers aren't allowed to light up!!! It doesn't seem right...

I think if it is smoke free then it should be tobacco free!!!

It doesn't bother me a bit when people spit on the grass next to a sidewalk or in a cup, I guess living in a rural area things like this don't bother you. However I can't stand it when people spit a big ol loogie or red snuff spit in the middle of where people walk.

Hey, if all they do is spit on your sidewalks, then you can count yourself lucky.

I've seen a couple of people (Obviously men) "Answer nature's call" on the sidewalk.

While I think it's disgusting to spit in general, I myself do it too....ONLY on my own property though.

So I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that feels this way.

Farmers are excused JP. especially on their own land...I remember when I was about 11 my dad taught me how to blow my nose "like a farmer"......
