spitting

It's all biodegradable....each to their own.

I never ever feel the need to expel saliva or phlegm when I'm riding my bike. Never did when I played football either.

Good for you. We all have different bodies. Mine expels phlegm at a disgusting rate. Yours doesn't.

On that basis, I probably will never get laid again That's 2 points to you, zero to me.

Actually, mucus is useful when it comes to getting laid... (Not the stuff in your nose, obviously... don't try THAT at home, kids...)

I've got a large nose and it tends to run. I've got a set of lungs that produce some mucus.....but guess what?...I have a mouth, and an ability to swallow, (unlike some poor souls hereabouts), a trachea, an oesophagus, a stomach, a small and large intestine and a rectum. I also have a lavatory.
I can get rid of it without leaving it out in public by a revolting display of bad manners. Are you all professional footballers or something?

 

[slowmotion]

I often have chest infections and cough up phlegm balls and there's very little I can do about it, other than spit it out. Obviously I try to catch it or do it in a bin but sometimes you can't.

All of us were born with a swallow reflex. Reacquaint yourself.

But dogs don't have any choice and don't know it's disgusting

I agree it's not as bad as men p!ssing in the street

Their owners have a choice where they allow them to.

Edit: Or women "pissing in the street" for that matter.

Personally I've never urinated in the street I trust you've not either

Never spit or snotrocket while out. The majority of us are not professionals so how can it hurt to stop for a minute to "blow or swallow"
I see recent reports on the news that TB is on the rise again and spitting does seem to be on the rise in general. Disgusting habit imho.

Stop every time you need to blow your nose?! Are you serious? Do you stop to sneeze?

 

[vickster]

I put my hand over my mouth when I sneeze

 

[martint235]

I don't spit but I do blow my nose out. For some reason only the left nostril and I aim for the gutter.

You should really use your elbow!

 

[vickster]

Yep where possible

Blimey , this threads gone a bit bonkers

Not a nice habit to get into, sooner or later you will be giving a bad example to a youngster. One to avoid I would think.

Have you seen a televised game of football recently? I can't believe they slide and dive about in other peoples spit. Now that is a bad example for a lot of the youth. Disgusting.

Anyway, on topic. Depends on when, where and why. Most times a quick drink of water will sort spit but if I need to then it has to be away from where people will walk and out of sight.

Spit and snot isn't anywhere near as bad as getting dog sh*t flicked in your face or having to clean it off your bike every ride. That really grinds my gears.
