Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  Public spitting.  Y'know, when people hock loogies on the ground in public.  Now, I used be a long distance runner, and I understand how it is for athletes.  I understand that spitting is sometimes kinda necessary, so I try not to judge too harshly when it comes to athletes, or possibly someone with some kind of health problem, doing it in the dirt, off the pavement.  But that's not what I'm talkin' about.  I'm talkin' about someone who just gets out of their car in parking lot, locks the car, casually looks at their phone, then just horks up a big fat loogie right at their feet on the pavement.  Or the person who casually hocks one right on the sidewalk in front of the store.  That is so f*ckin' disgusting.  Other people have to walk there, you inconsiderate jerk.

Believe it or not, I actually used to know someone who did this, and he said the hated swallowing his own saliva because it "grossed him out," so he'd just hock it all over the ground in front of everyone else.    Yeah, that's real nice.  Real considerate.

I think that public expectorating should be illegal, just like littering, and should be punishable by the same sort of fine.  Now, if I were king of the world, then everyone who hocked loogies on the ground would be arrested and sent to a work camp.

That is all.
