I witnessed one of the most disgusting things over the weekend
I was in a coffee shop over the weekend and a man stopped in front of the window and blew snot out of his nose :puke: and I cant get the picture out of my mind. He didn't use a handkerchief or a kleenex he blew the snot straight out of his nose and it landed on the ground. :puke:

What happened to manners?

7. It was my first time
The snot hit the legs of his business suit before hitting the ground.

3. Sounds like a typical midwestern farm guy to me...it's gross, I agree, but
pretty common among farm types in these parts, sorry to say.

4. That's totally gross. I once had to say something to a jackass
who was spitting in the mulch at a kid's playground.

5. It's called a "snot rocket."
Pretty disgusting. I rank it above spitting in terms of grossness, but just below urination.

10. In 3/4 of the world...
...what do you think they do? They do not have tissue or handkerchieves.

They think Americans are crazy for blowing snot into paper or cloth and then... saving it -- putting that paper or cloth back in pockets.

Think about that... 3/4 of the world's population doesn't use tissue.

I would never do anything like that in private let alone do it in public.

21. well I was talking about
when you have a head cold, you are home-I mean you go to the bathroom to spit...I am just flabbergasted at the stuff that is 'accepted' or 'okay' for men to do, but women just say "ugh" to...

12. A friend of mine...
told me about a job he got at some fast food restaurant where a co-worker used to blow his nose on the grill. Humans are disgusting. If I would have seen that I probably would have made a comment to the guy, real loud, like, 'Would you like a tissue, sir?'

18. restasurant workers get their kicks in sick, strange ways and there
was a book by a famous chef who talked about this and also workers spitting in the soup, etc. They should have been shut down by the health dept.

16. I have seen men do this but NEVER a woman
When a man does this it makes me think what his parents were like...did they teach him anything?
