Why do men spit?

This is so gross to me. I would walk in a parking lot and some guy would do this.
Or as I was walking I would see this on the groung!!! yuck yuck yuck.
Women don't do this. If for some reason we have to do something we use a klenex.
Is it just a guy thing. :cry:

It is totally disgusting, major peeve of mine too. There is actually a law against spitting on public sidewalks here but they do it anyway I doubt it's ever been enforced.
My husband would say "well... would you rather me swallow my phlegm (sp?). I would say YESSSSSSSSSSSSS ...but he really doesn't care what my answer is. :lol:

I just verified with my husband and he said "you're right" to him not caring whether I like it or not. He's romantic. :)

He rarely does it, but when he does... I start screaming.
thank goodness spitting isn't one of Todd's vices.
The cigarettes are bad enough!! :roll: (I know, and he smoked long before we met...)

Spitting would put me over the edge.
My husband only does it when his asthma is bad and I start yelling too!! Gross, gross, gross.
He thinks he has the perfect excuse, when he was a kid he was in hospital a lot with asthma and the physio take him to "hoik" as he calls it. I keep asking but did they teach you to spit, not as clear on that answer. Still that physio has a lot to answer for, IMHO. :lol: :lol:
It's gross.

My husband does it occasionally. Even once a year sometimes and I STILL am horrified when he does it.

I think it is a guy thing. Even when I had a horrible chest infection I had a hard time with the idea of spitting out what came up. I could only do it if I was locked in the bathroom and out of earshot of everyone else. Even then the thought of what I was doing would make me gag and heave.

I think boys are just wired differently than girls. And I should also mention that I love bugs, guts, horror movies, and lots of other non girly things. I'm not easily grossed out. But spitting crosses my line.

As I've said before, "Boys are icky."

Spitting on the sidewalk is a $50 fine. Vomiting is free.


-paraphrase of George Carlin bit.
Yeah I think it is gross too. I don't think my honey does it. If he does there is some sort of foreign matter in his mouth. I do have to admit to spitting a week ago. I was breaking up pieces of lath to use for kindling. The whole space I was in was swirling with plaster dust along with mouse poop residue and very old dry manure in which the lath was now laying in. There was a lot of spitting afterwards as I was thinking about nasties in my mouth. YUCK

Okay reasons to spit I've decided would have to be....
1) A bug flies in your mouth.
2) Some sort of grit from an outside activity.
3) Poop somehow gets in your mouth. (My sister fell off a horse face first into a poop pile.)
Falling face first into poop is a definite OK reason for spitting

I don't know why, but the 'somehow' part struck me as funny, as in poop somehow gets in your mouth.... :lol:

LOL - me too. I am a horse person (and farm person) too, so I totally understand. But the mental picture of poo flying and randomly lodging in a person's mouth got me giggling nonstop. :lol: :lol:
