Yeah I drool, but only because I can't spit...
Please don’t spit.
Spitting is gross.
Walking on a footpath covered in loogies is gross.
If you desperately need to spit, don’t be gross about it. Spit away from where people congregate.
I once tried to learn how to spit, but every time I just ended up with a gooberish mess down my running shorts.
So while I have respect for the skill involved in discharging a perfectly-formed loogie, I would prefer if you channeled your salivatory energies toward something more awesome – like pashing someone’s face off.
I think we can all agree that phlegm has its place; it’s just not on the footpath.

I like that scene in the movie Titanic where Jack teaches Rose to spit over the edge of the boat and then they get busted. My dad once opened the window of the car and spat out it and the wind blew it back in his face. It was hysterical.

I’m with you Katie…spitting is utterly rank, especially in public. The worst is when you walk past someone and they snort up a massive greenie before hacking it out right by your foot….gross. It should carry a penalty fine like letting your dog poop on the pavement and not cleaning it up. P’raps we could start a trend for loogie bags?

I’m not even joking you Pez, but when I lived in Manchester I had to hold myself back from yelling at the dudes in Moss Side who would spit EVERYWHERE. It was revolting. It made me retch. What is that even about? Surely that’s how bubonic plague got traction? Manners people! Etiquette people! Bring back finishing school.
Lesson #1 – it is not appropriate to spit. Ever.

Remember that bit in lord of the rings: two towers where wormtongue spat in aragorn’s hand when he was trying to help him up and he actually stopped king theoden from killing him? That was an excellent example of the problems with spitting. He was the heir of isidor, one of the numinor who see elngated life…. respect that wormtongue.
in an aside, I wonder if wormtongue’s mother could have predicted he was going to turn evil. call him dave or something lady.
