I find this useless and nasty as well. I've seen lots of people do it for some reason.

Why is that? Do you do this too? :|

It's.....unnatural.
I don't do it but I had a friend who used to do it a lot. Thankfully I dropped him as a friend for other reasons....

They do because they think it's cool. In my city you can get a $50 fine for spitting.

It took a lot of work to get that crap out of my throat. I'm not going to turn it into a wasted effort by swallowing the thing.

Yeah have to agree with this. Escpecially if Im all stuffed up and want to spit out musus. I would rather spit it out then have it go back into my body and get more sick.

I don't know, it grosses me out. There's a convenience store across the street from my school, and a lot of people hang around outside and smoke. They also LOVE to spit on the ground every 30 seconds, it's sick. And very unattractive. I try to avoid walking near them if I ever go there.

Joking response: Because you can't spit it into the sky.

Serious response: Whenever I just swallow my spit, my mouth ends up watering again. If I spit it out, it's fine.I'm ususally more courteous, though. I spit it behind a bush or something, not on the sidewalk.

Well dont try to. It sucks. Plus in can lead to pneumonia which I have had and that really sucks. I had to go to the hospital a bunch times for it when I was younger.

Because you can't spit in the sky. It's rude to spit on items. The floor is the only option...Don't even think for one secound I'll just swallow it back down. What do you think I am? SOME SORT OF ANIMAL!

I do it, not because I think I'm cool but because I need to get rid of snot or whatever... though the only time I do it is when nobody is around or when I'm walking to school in the morning and nobody is around :)

I dont do it, but all the old hispanic men do it, since I live in Coral Gables (South Florida). It's really disgusting, and very trashy. I, at least, have a bit of class and decency.

I never worked out why. Just swallow it, for Christ's sake. The sound and the sight is completely disgusting. Spitting is the sort of thing you should be fined for.

Hold it in your mouth and spit it in the trash or wash it down a sink. :)

When you have pee in your bladder, do you pee on the ground?

I hold it and get rid of my pee in this thing called a toilet.

No. If there's grass around, or bushes, and I have to spit, I'll do it. I've spat out of cars plenty of times too. :x I'm a spittin' fool.

Have you ever accidently spat on the windshield of oncoming traffic? That would be pretty nasty.

It's fine if you spit in a bush I guess.... but definitely not anywhere where people walk! And I don't like it when people spit in front of me. I think it's rude and disgusting. You know what I do with my phlegm? I swallow it. I don't care. It doesn't hurt me and it doesn't disturb the people around me.

Unlike you (apparently), I choose not to equate my mouth with my bladder. Bladders have a single purpose. Mouths have multiple. If my mouth is occupied with holding something in it, then I can't do all those other things my mouth does.

I find it disgusting and rude that people would spit on the ground. Or even spit period, unless you get sand or saw dust in the mouth or something.

OMG! Find a trash can or bush and spit it out there. Please don't spit it on the sidewalk where people walk.

Honestly, spitting out of a fast moving car is a bad idea, you have a good chance of hitting your own car doing that.
