Today morning i was going to buy milk and curd, i crossed the street to go to the shop. There is a bus stop near that area, i saw a person sitting at the back of the bus spitting on the street. There were vehicles going on, still he just didn't care. It is really irritating to see that kind of behaviour first thing in the morning. Just yesterday we had Gandhi Jayanti and the news talked a lot about the importance of hygiene and cleanliness. I think he forgot about it today.

This is disgusting, people are fined here if they spit on streets.

@vsai2008 I am surprised that people do not want a clean place. Here people would call the police if they see people doing offensive things.

@LadyDuck protests might start if they do that in my country, but i like the law at your place, it is essential.

That's a nasty habit. At one point I was sharing a rented flat with another person. We had different schedules and interests, but one day, as I was preparing to go out, he wanted to join me. I said ok, no problem. That's until we were out and he started spitting. I told him to stop, it's a very ugly habit and I went my way. A few days later he left the flat .

This is an epidemic in India. People from all walks of like including educated ones just spit on the streets. Even in areas where there are restrooms and dustbins, they spit in public. They refuse to change. If you ask them to stop, they act rude and ask us to mind our own business.

After many days i saw someone ding that I agree with you completely I had to tell my father a lot of times to make him stop doing that, now he doesn't do it. I am thankful for that. But it will take some serious bugging from others to make them stop. It will lot of time as well. I find it very strange that we keep our homes clean but not our streets, we walk on them daily.
