Boys/Men Spitting

[NMAmy]

I love statements like this. Ah, omniscience. It must be nice.

It's only necessary--for me, anyway--if I'm running, and even then it's only really necessary in cold weather. The reason is because I have exercise-induced asthma and only about 40% lung function. I think most of the 40% is dedicated to producing snot. Gross, I know, but there's no way I can "just swallow it," as some have suggested, or I'd soon be puking. Personally, if I were a bystander, I'd rather see somebody spit than puke, but maybe I'm in the minority here.

It doesn't seem like omniscience is required when a person knows that they'll have this issue if it's cold outside.

I'm aware that if I'm outside when it's very cold and then I get into a warm bus, my nose will run. I tuck some tissues in my pocket and I don't have a problem.

Just logged back on to find out that my spitting thread is the longest one I've ever started

BTW, thanks for all the support and I'm keeping this on my list of "no way will I date him if he..."

And to the poster who said she made her son wipe up his own spit, YOU GO GIRL! A mother after my own heart

Just jumped to the end, having not read because it is disgusting, rude and unnecessary.

When I was single - this was a dealbreaker for me.

Spitters do NOT get to date me.

Uncouth!

OMG...NO! I was camping with a guy I had been seeing a few weeks and I was on the fence about whether or not to break up with him. Then, he did it...he blew a "snot rocket". Ew. No. Yes, we were camping and had no Kleenex, but that was the final straw. I think a glaze passed over my eyes at that point. I was done.
