I will have to disagree on some fine points with this. When it comes to allergy/cold/other illness spitters I feel they should get a pass. I agree that it shouldn’t be spit onto the street, but aimed for the gutter, or some planters, but your suggestion of spitting into kleenex seems more gross to me. The kleenex becomes quickly saturated, and must be carried with you until you can throw it away (and the area I grew up in had a lack of public trashcan) so that could mean carrying around 10+ damp kleenexes in a purse, or pocket eww.

I’m a complete and total spitter-hater. Admittedly (sexist as this may be), guys get a pass sometimes … but spitting girls gotta go.

Either way, if ya gotta spit, couldja at least aim for the freakin gutter? I mean who wants to step, sit or slip on that s***?

And for the record, spitters in NYC and DC are either waaay more aware (or more non-existant) than in the most offensive, disgustingly spit-happy
city on Earth …. wait for it …. wait for it ….
Seattle. Ughhhhhh.
The sidewalks there are paved with disgust. WTF Seattle?

I agree! One of these days, soon too, we should embark on a crazy adventure. Just as long as it doesn’t interfere with my love of daytime television. =)

I ended up missing the show all together because I knew it was on boylston, but I completely dropped the ball with figuring out beforehand which end it was at. Instead of racing to get there before ten, I opted for a pitcher of octoberfest instead.

Oh, dude! I wouldn’t have been able to go b/c I have classes on Weds & Thurs, but otherwise I totally would have taken you up on it! I kept hearing about the show and was dying to go.

Also, dude, you should totally make a guest appearance on my blog. We should go on some insane Boston adventure of blog-worthy glory. (To hell with the taboo of hanging out with people who you meet online.)

This made me laugh so hard. I also am NTKOG and I would never have the courage to be TKOG for a day. If I even tried to hock a loogie curbside, it would probably slosh out of my mouth and leave a ribbon of slobber hanging off my chin. So un-ladylike. lol.

“as far as I’m concerned spitting on it is as publicly acceptable as peeing behind a tree ” – Which is not publically acceptable, since it constitutes an indecency or “breach of the peace” (depending on Police officer arresting) offence.

I also suggest never spitting out of a car window while speeding along the freeway. These things have a way of coming back to you.

I remember hanging out with a girl in my class and in the middle of our conversation, she turned her head to the side and spit on the ground. Not into grass or a trash can, onto the cement in front of the classrooms. Gross.

I nearly tweeted at you yesterday. I had a plus one to the Betsey Johnson Fashion Show and no one to go with. Because I lack female friends, and I secretly want to make a guest appearance in your blog, I contemplated tweeting at you. There will be more to this story in my blog later tonight.
