Hey, what's with all the spitting?
I don't know if I've just been in the wrong place at the wrong time lately, but there seems to be a surplus of saliva among many of the men in this area. I'm stopped at the red light, the door of the truck in front of me opens and -- splat! -- out the door comes a juicy stream of spit onto the pavement just in time for the light to change. I'm walking into Wal-Mart and I happen to look down upon a wad of gooey spit glimmering in the sun. I turned onto I-40 at Sandy Ridge Rd. and up there on the hill at the RV superstore, a man hocks one over the chain-link fence. It happened again today... this time the offender was a dad walking up to the school to pick up his kid, who -- almost certainly if the kid is a boy -- will inherit this moist habit from his father.
And note, I said if the kid is a boy. I haven't seen any girls spitting. Is this some kind of prove-my-masculinity thing among men? If anyone can explain it to me -- dryly, please -- I wish they would.

What a disgusting, nasty habit!! If chewers would just have a little respect for people....My boss chews and I have to tolerate everyday a nasty cup sitting on his desk with spit all over it and little tiny gnats flying around! Spit in the trash cans, down the sides, spit on the sidewalk outside the shop, spit, spit, spit all over!! How disgusting..and the worst thing is he spits on everything...anywhere, anytime...even going through the drive thru at the bank...looking at the teller and "Ptooey!" on the ground right there! I think that is one of the rudest things....ya know, do what you want, but be a little considerate too....It's a very very nasty thing in my opinion and very very arrogant and rude to do in public....
YUK!!
