People that chew tobacco give me the "icks". I know they think it's less offensive than smoking but it's just as bad.
Last week at the gym, guy walks over and spits his chew into the trash can, takes a sip of water and proceeds to brush his teeth with his finger, takes another sip, swishes it around his mouth and spits it out in the trash can. So after that everything he touched with his brushing finger got his spit juice on it. That's one of the reason I wipe every handle at the gym before I use it.
I have also saw....at a house warming party the new owner in the kitchen preparing food walking over and spitting his juice in the sink several times, than turning on the water for a splash like that washed it down. I did not eat anything.
At a cook out the guy manning the grill spitting his juice into the grill as he was cooking. Again I did not eat.
Buying carpet the owner came to talk with me and his mouth was so full of chew I couldn't understand him. I told him I would never deal with such an unprofessional and I walked out.
When we had a business we passed a no smoking policy, but my partner decided chewing would be OK. I had to stop it almost immediatly because these guys were sticking there fingers in their mouths and then touching things that others used, also dumping their spit bottles in the trash which would then leak, or walking by the wash sink and spitting into it.
Such a nasty habit.
