Things That Annoy Me Thursday: Spitting In Public

Ew.

Why?

I was walking behind this guy and he tilted his head to the left and spit onto the ground.

Why must people spit in public? Why?

I’ve seen countless men do this. Do they have extra saliva or what? Do they think they have to leave their mark? Sort of like when a dog pisses to mark his territory? Is that it?

Do women think it’s sexy?

I don’t.

When I see someone spit on the ground I want to grab the person’s face and shove it into the spittle they left. As it is I can’t do that because A) I’m short and could never reach a man head and B) I don’t want to be arrested for violence. Even though the guy technically started it by leaving his DNA all over the sidewalk.

I seriously don’t understand though. Why do men think it’s okay to do this in public? If they must spit, can’t they stick a tissue in their pocket and do it there?

I especially don’t get why, if they have women, that they aren’t stopped. If Tom dared to hock a loogie in front of me, I’d smack him on the head and ask what his issue was. I was behind a couple and the guy did the spit thing and the woman acted as though it were…normal. She just calmly stepped over her man’s white mound. (Okay, that totally sounds dirtier than I intended…)

Here’s my PSA:

IT’S NOT NORMAL. IT’S GROSS. YOU ARE MAKING THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU CRINGE AND WANT TO RUB YOUR FACE IN YOUR MESS.

Ahem.

Sorry.

But seriously.

Stop it.
