Why do men spit on the street?

[Anonymous]

Every day I have to dodge spitballs walking down the streets in DC. it's so gross and unnecessary. Why do men do this? Even if you have something in your throat you need to get rid of, why not spit in the bushes or dirt/grass where people aren't going to walk into it?

It's a little shocking, honestly, regardless of who does it.

Some people seem to think their own stuff is harmless. Like cigarette smokers apparently don’t think cigarette butts qualify as litter. And some motorcyclists seem to find it inconceivable that people would find their noise irritating.

You've never noticed all the spit as you walk down the sidewalks in DC in particular?

It's disgusting and I'm always looking down because I don't want in it.

All true. Or people who refuse to use headphones on public transportation. Though that one is annoying but not quite as gross as someone's spit.

It's gross. They do it because they're entitled to be gross. Just like the men who pee in public bushes or tunnels.

OMG yes, I saw a man just whip it out in front of me and pee and then keep walking like nothing happened.

They may have just hooked up with someone and need to get rid of the fluids.

The amount of spit I see is disproportional to how many men are hooking up like that.

I rarely see that. But visit China and you will see it frequently.

Absolutely disgusting anywhere in public. Unless you are piking or having a medical emergency, NO body fluids outside the sink, toilet or tub.

The Same Reason they scratch themselves in public. Men are pigs. Left on their own they will wallow in filth while slurping beer, eating junk food, burping, and watching ESPN.

Are you sure? I think there are more hookups happening than you think. Esp downtown and near office buildings.
