Awful to See Person/s Just Spitting Anywhere

Philippines
May 2, 2010 9:22am CST
I really hate seeing people spitting just anywhere, and besides, it's never alright to just spit anywhere. It's one of the ways how bacteria spread, and it affects us all. Spitting anywhere is a common sight especially in squatters area where most children play and roam around without foot wears. Whenever I would meet along the way a person spitting or about to spit, I'm already heading a different direction. Coz, I can't really take in to see their saliva, expecially (sorry) if they have phlegm! yucky! myLot, how do you feel seeing undisciplined people just spitting anywhere?

Yes i can't really tolerate to see someone spitting around and i should say it is one of the filthy habit some people just adopted.On the top of that,there are some of my friends who used to spit inside my kitchen also and i dare talk to them and teach them how to behave in my room.It's very awful for them to show such habits.

This is one of the disgusting habit of certain morons in the public.Spitting is rampant in our cities When we do so, we don’t realize that we are spreading a number diseases and infections among people. Even now in spite of medical advancement, tuberculosis is on the rise. A major reason is that people spit anywhere.And it is atrocious to see the entire roads painted red with the pan spit in Mumbai and other cities.Stringent punishment like canning only stop this lowly habit.

Yes, and one way to decrease the number of people doing this unhygienic habit is an educational or awareness campaign. Legislation would also work with firm political will.

I hate seeing people spit to its so disgusting. My ex spit all the time. As soon as he stepped out of the house he would start spitting. If you dont spit when your in the house constantly then you dont need to spit just because you go outside. It really got on my nerves. He didnt just spit in the grass he would spit on the sidewalk all the time. I have two little kids who like to go barefoot and the spit could get on their feet. That thought is so gross. Its even worse when your out and see other peoples spit on the sidewalk. My ex it was gross enough to see but a complete strangers spit thats just so gross.

You should keep your children away from those sidewalks, and keep them wearing foot wear. thanks for posting your experiences.

Hi i agree it is awful to spit everywhere. I think if it is necessary to spit one should spit in a discreet place. Often when I feel the need to spit I search for the right place to spit but often it is hard to find, perhaps one should carry tissues and spit in them and put them in the rubbish. I think it's awful when people spit in places where it is obvious other people are going to walk there like on the footpath.

I'm glad that you are hygienic. Let us always remember that we are not the only inhabitants of this world, we should consider the welfare of soooo many people out there. You know what, I can;t understand why sometimes I never feel the need to spit in a day. Lol, I might be in abnormal condition! Lol

Hello borgiefame, this spitting is one's of Filipinos and some Asian's unsanitary habit. But you know mostly Filipinos are doing this kind of dirty antic. I've been to Singapore and spitting there cause you a thousand Singaporean dollars. I hope it's impose here. We Filipinos are really undisciplined. That's why a lot of us living here in Metro Manila are irritated with Bayani because he imposed some law to curb our bad habits. Plus our fellow Filipinos just tolerate this kind of dirty habit. I remember in my high school days, I had this Muslim classmate, he was always spitting and he's sitting next to me, when I told him about it, he transferred to another seat. But there are some people you know, they don't want to be told; and they're the ones who'll get angry.

Yeah, law against bad spitting habit should be imposed in this country. And when you say 'imposed', the government or the law enforcers should really be serious in implementing it. POLITICAL WILL IS VERY IMPORTANT, and that's what some of our public servants don't possess.

yuck... it is so dirty to do that... fortunately, i live in a country where spitting is prohibited and there will be a heavy fine for the offenders... i think this should be enforced in every country to discourage people from spitting on the public place... it is so disgusting to see it... especially when you accidentally step on the spit... yuck... take care and have a nice day...

it is really so nasty! it is important to have a legislation against it, but it is more important to have political will in implementing it. thanks for posting your thoughts.

I was taught as a child growing up not to spit. My mother thought it was the most disgusting thing, and we caught on to that. It is not unusual to see both males and females just spit wherever and whenever, and I have to agree that it is a disgusting habit that does not look nice to begin with. I even don't like it when I am watching baseball on tv and see the players spitting. It is almost like it is required in order to play!!

It's grosse but do they need tissue boys aswell as water boys and ball boys. I play sport and it's not like you are able to run off the field for a spit!

Yes, I really hate that too. And the sound they like to make before they spit, omg. I hate to see all the spits and phlegm on the ground, I always am worried that either I or my children would accidentally step on it. AND we did sometimes. YUCKS!

I hate to see people do that and in my country, it is an offence to do that. You will get fine for committing this act. I was at a fast food outlet just last week and I saw this guy who was alone at his table waiting for the food to be served and he was spitting and sneezing. He don't appear to look sick (and if he is, that's even horrible) but he just kept on doing it (internally) and he didn't just spit on the floor but he spit it with a distance (seems like he is aiming to spit as far as he can each time). I watch in disgust but I didn't have the courage to step up and tell the person off.

isn't his attention called? he should be fined for doing that.

He wasn't caught by anyone except the eyes of those people (including me) who was sitting around having our not-so-peaceful dinner. But he left soon after he finished his food so it was 30 mins of disgust followed by a sigh of relief when he finally left...

The same here..! I too turn somewhere when I see a person is about to spit..I hate it very badly.I always think , the person who spits should be spitted by someone unknowingly.Then he will how hard it will be..Really they don't have manners at all..No one can teach them unless they itself feel that it is wrong...It will never change..Only we guys have to adjust..

What makes spitting more awful is when I'm on a public transportation like a jeepney then someone spits through the air. Damn it! When the wind blows drops of that person's spit will be on my face!

Thats so yucky!I have experienced it.But it wasnt in the PUJ, I was walking at the sidewalk, when the man beside me spit.ANd viola!it went on my face.Sooooo disgusting.I blurted bad words at him. He apologized, but the harm is done.He said he didnt noticed me, I was behind me.I was so angry at that time.Who knows he might have a disease.

LOL. I laughed at that instead of sympathizing with what happened to you, sorry. I never really fight with people nor talk sh*t with them.

Mitchann and Saranggola, those experiences are really sooo disgusting! The are worse than just seeing people spitting. I can't imagine mitchann's behavior on the day when that happened. And I also experienced soaking the mist of spit by the sooo freakin child when he spit outside the jeepney. Less harm because he's a child unlike to adult, oh, I can't imagine!

I don't like that either. It's disgusting and disrespectful. Those are germs you're leaving all over the place and other people have to walk there! I don't like walking up to a store and having some guy spit right in front of me. Right where I was going to step. How rude! I'll take a big circle around it to avoid it. Why can't they spit into something like a tissue or a garbage can? What do they do indoors? Do they spit all over their own homes? How nasty.

They just don't think about the people around them. Guess they don't care.

One discipline that those people should do is to spit in an area which is unseen to many. Do it away from people's eyes. Or, yes, they should bring tissue. I can't live with people who are unhygienic. Thanks for your thoughts.

Yes, this is a disgusting habit and I hate seeing others do this on the street. When someone coughs and they bring up phlem I can understand that they want to spit this out, it must be horrible to try and swallow but all the same it's not very nice for others to see and can really put you off your food for the rest of the day! If they have to spit then I guess they should find a hidden corner where no one is about and then they can remove the contents of their mouth secretly! Such is the world that we live in! Andrew

Very good and doable suggestions. And being aware of the ill effects of this undisciplined action, we should not do this. I'll always tell my siblings not to do it in public area. Thank you for dropping by and giving suggestions.

I think it is soo horrid people doing that every where no matter where they are.Why dont they use a tissue rather than spitting it where people walk and like you say the areas that people use like childrens play areas.Thankfully my children or the people i am friends with do not do that and they think it is disgusting aswell.
• Philippines
3 May 10
yeah, that is a good idea. i guess, everybody should bring with them tissue, so whenever feel like spitting, they have the solution. or they can do that in a private area.

Yep that's just nasty! I was running yesterday and someone came by me and spit as they passed. It's just so disgusting. I know why because your mouth sweats a lot when you run and all but it's still gross!

i have to agree with you. it really in undisciplined. I hate them whenever people do that. Furthermore, you might not realize it, you might be stepping to bacteria from those things which will spread anywhere. it is gross as well. they could be doing that elsewhere.
• Philippines

and we should be aware of those people. one thing to decrease the number of people doing this nasty thing is to educate them. doing this is very unhygienic.

yeah, and they should be aware that they are not the people inhabiting this planet. they should learn to consider the welfare of other people, it's not only illegal, it is unacceptable.
