Spitters
It doesn't matter how you were brought up or how well to do that you think you are, if you spit in public then you're scum in my eyes. I would watch all the Portugese workers in the mornings waiting to get on their van to work.
You had to be careful as you walked past them, it was like an ice rink. Since then I have been secretly flobbing into an oil drum which I am going to take with me to Portugal one day and pour it out along a main road.

This.
This is the epitome of scum.

I have a fully functioning mouth and throat. If for some reason I find too much spit in my mouth, I can use my mouth muscles in conjunction with my throat to swallow the spit.

There is absolutely no excuse at all for anyone to spit in public. Ever. The same applies to footballers as they prance and skip around the field every week.

You do know
that it won't "pour" don't you? It'll slither out like a Jellyfish-of-Doom (a Portugese Man-o'-Yaw?) as a single entity. FFS, make sure you are well behind the drum, you don't want to be engulfed by it, fossil hunters will find you in aeons to come, like a fly trapped in amber.

i don't spit
but if i suddenly have mucus in my mouth/throat, I'm not gonna swallow it. It'll go (if I don't have a tissue) onto the grass, down the drain, or into a bin. Pavement is the last resort.

Yeah, the most beautiful girl in the world could walk by, spit and she is instantly ugly!

this happens more than you'd think ...
... in China, where i am right now. it shocked me the first time i was in this country (2006) and it hasnt ceased to amaze yet (currently been here for 2 months and counting, just 9 more til i can come home!!!) ... basically, they hock the contents of their lungs up wherever and whenever and with whoever they feel like. this is a generalisation but it goes for 90%+ of the population. it's disgusting. you can walk past a row of beautiful girls and they won't even have to cough up their insides, because you'll know in your head that they more than likely do it anyway, and thus are unattractive before you've even begun. very few exceptions. uni students and educated people in general here seem better.
