A bunch of people I know do this. We'll just be having a conversation, and if it's outside, they'll suddenly just droop their head and spit out a bubbly ball of saliva.
I've read it's just a habit that people pick up from seeing other people do it. I remember when I was a kid seeing older teenagers doing it and I thought it was the cool thing to do. But I never picked up on it. Why would I want to have a dry mouth? Plus, it just looks nasty. We aren't talking about hacking up a necessary loogie or something, this is just random spitting. |

When you want to feel like you have a fat lip in but don't have a fat lip in
|

Yes... But, only when I am sick and alone. I will usually spit out of my window in my truck and onto cars with Hillary/Bernie stickers.
|
|
Every 30 seconds or so. I also blow snot rockets to clear my nose. I'm going to be comfortable dammit! My patio is stained with my spit and snot. My patio!
If I need to spit I'm going to spit. If I need to clear my nose I will. |

One time in basic training my DS saw me spit on the ground. He made me pick it up and put it in my pocket.
|
|
If I'm running and it's heavy pollen in the air... sure. I'll clear and spit every half mile or so.
If you're talking about just spitting on the ground every few seconds... no. I don't wear a flat bill cap, affliction or tapout shirts and I'm not a douche. |
|
It doesn't really bother me when I see people doing it (no fucks given - I'm really laid back), but the idea of even thinking about it is wildly foreign to me. I honestly think it's something that's picked up at an early age, and I never got it.

So you swallow your saliva that is picking up all the nasty shit from your teeth? Fuck that. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

No because I'm not a disgusting lemming. I've always thought it was dumb as hell. Had a friend that did it when I was a teen and I asked him why he did it and he said he didn't know it was just a habit.
I do notice how some mannerisms are infectious though. I have been giving people thumbs up as an affirmative or randomly and quite often for probably ten years because I think it's funny and I have had several people complain to me that I had infected them with it and they were doing it now. |

I know a woman that does this but she does the most dramatic hocking prior to it.
|
|
For all the manly alpha males here, you guys seem to be "disgusted" by a lot of stuff.
Anyways, only occasionally will I randomly spit on the ground unless I've got a dip in. |
|
If I'm sick, I'll work up some goop and spit it out. Granted, not if I'm mid-conversation with someone, and when I do, I make sure to land it somewhere it's not likely to be stepped on by someone else. I'm courteous as fuck.

I'm a masticating mofo but I spit all the time. Pisser? Spit in it. Shitter? Spit in it. Outside? Spit and snot rockets are flying. I will be comfortable.

I only see Mexicans spitting all over the fucking place. Fucking third worlders.
|
|
I find it utterly fucking disgusting.
Understandable in certain situations like hard exercise, bug flies into your mouth, allergies or something. But people that habitually do it for no good reason gross me out. I worked with a guy for a couple of years who did it so habitually that he would forget that he was indoors and spit on the floor, sometimes in client's houses. Yeah, hock a loogie on the gazillion dollar a square yard wool carpet in a $20,000,000 house. Great idea there champ. |

In Afghanistan dust was pervasive and I started to spit just before going into a building and when coming out.
Now I have the habit of spitting when I get out of the car as well. Try to stop, yet whenever I am distracted it starts again. |
|
No.
I haven't felt the need to spit since March 2003 . The day my son was born I quit dipping Copenhagen. |
|
My son said his mouth "makes too much water", and that it's gross to swallow your own water...
|
|
Don't know what's wrong with y'all. I have a mouth full of saliva every minute. I'm not swallowing it. Then again I drink and smoke and drink tons of water.

No spitting even with a dip in. No one wants to see that shit. And I certainly don't need my seven girls to start spitting all over hell. Bugs in the mouth, sure. Spit. Heavy physical exertion, by all means spit. Asthma or allergies, do what you got to do. I work maintenance. So we frequently have to crawl, kneel, sit or lay on the ground/floor. A coworker has to spit every minute or so weather he's chewing or not. Fuck that shit. I'm not crawling on someone else's snag.

When I do spit, which is seldom, it isn't random. I always pick a target.

only when running or at PT, never feel the need to otherwise

After playing baseball for 20yrs, I just can't break the habit.

There is a certain demographic that had a habit of spitting on the ground around a potential authority figure.
|
|
Fuck no. Shit's nasty, yo.
When I smoked, I noticed other folks doing this while smoking and always thought that if one didn't like the taste of their cigarette, perhaps they should quit. |

My momma looks down, and spits on the ground... every time my name is mentioned.
|
|
Only when I have phlegm caught in my throat which is a couple times a day.

My old man was old school, born in '36. So he tried to instill in me some manners. I'm not against you spitting, but I don't want to crawl through it. |
