Why do so many men, of all ages....

[Geezerette]

think it is OK to just spit wherever they feel like it out of doors? Not saying any of you men do it BUT:
Don't Mamas tell them its a nasty habit? Looking out the window just saw an otherwise nice neighbor walking his dog & spit on the sidewalk, that other people have to use. Sidewalk, grass, driveways, parking lots, any old place they get the urge. See it everyday, every where. Just disgusting! Why don't y'all swallow your damn saliva like decent people, or use a hankie.

I am a spitter, but I am always careful as to where I spit. I produce lots of mucous because of the air quality in our valley and I am not about to swallow it or pull out a handkerchief when playing or working out of doors.

Spitting anywhere but into a tissue is disgusting and unhealthy.

 

[Falcon]

Tell that to the baseball players.

When I visited a certain developing country years ago, both the local men and the woman were constantly horking and spitting, yet there was no pollution in the northern mountainous region I was living in. I found it disgusting. I never felt the need to do it, so now I think it might just be a habit. When I was in junior high the boys would have spitting contests. What is it with all the spitting anyway? Is it the chewing tobacco?

 

[Bullie76]

Must hang out with the wrong crowd. I rarely ever see men spit. Now my golfing buddies might water a bush along the way.

 

[RadishRose]

Why did I look here? Disgusting!!!

 

[Laurie]

The only time I spit is in the sink when I'm cleaning my teeth.

To me it's like breaking wind anywhere but in the bathroom - it's ill bred and shows disrespect to whoever else is present, and that includes spouses!

And then there is the adjustment of the "equipment" in public, another one of our fine attributes...

Being a Captain for United, I think it would produce the wrong image to be spitting while in uniform. I started chewing tobacco when I was in high school and worked on a farm in the summer, so yeah, I spit then, but now, even when I have a cold, I don't spit phlegm or a loogie, as some call it. (I did quit chewing when I went to college. Nasty habit.)

I do agree, I think seeing men spit (I have also seen women spit) is rather disgusting.

You can tell if rednecks are married by the tobacco on the passenger side of the pick up!!

Have you ever use a tissue that holds a spit or did you just make a hole and it ends up in your hands.

 

[Glinda]

Unfortunately, I think some "men" associate that disgusting habit with masculinity. Ick.

I think it's very much a class phenomenon as is chewing tobacco which is one common reason for the spitting.

 

[AZ Jim]

This whole thread is TMI!!

"And then there is the adjustment of the "equipment" in public,"

I can remember one occasion when my wife;s panties were cutting her and she said "Oh, excuse me, got me drawers caught in me gearbox", an expression we first heard from a prostitute friend of ours. Normally she only said it in front of me, but on one occasion my sister was present!

I can still hear to this day her wails of laughter, which lasted fully for twenty minutes!

 

[Mrs. Robinson]

A "prostitute friend"?? Now that right there would be an interesting story....

 

[SifuPhil]

A nasty habit in a civilized area.

When they spit on the ground in front of me I pee on their feet.

Made my day! :rofl1:

 

[whisteria]

I dont spit myself, never thought i needed to,
But i do see and it seems to be ok here in france "men" just popping their privates out and urinating in the hedge, the supermarket carpark area's.
again its not for me unless im really caught short .

Pretty mundane actually.

We had lots of friends, Eileen was a librarian, Margaret a teacher, Rose a chambermaid, Gina a prostitute and so on.

Actually Gina was probably the only one my wife would have been quite sanguine about if she found us sharing a cup of coffee. she knew that Gina would have knocked seven bells out of me if I'd made a pass!
