This has been a question I've had for years now, and it's never been definitively answered. Do these people get off in knowing that there are strangers tracking their saliva into gas stations worldwide?

If they do it often, it's very likely that they smoke. I really wish they wouldn't do it though.

This isn't exclusive to people who dip or people who hold lugee spitting contests in parking lots either. People will literally just spit straight saliva on the ground for no reason.

Men will spit when getting out of the car due to the low back seat and if your child is young, don't wear a coat as they will make it harder to get out of the car.

How do I get out of the car?

You don't have to do anything, a male driver will often hold the door open for you (like the man next to me did in New York on our recent trip to the Empire State Building), but it's recommended to have a friend hold the door for you, they will at least watch the car door in case you start fumbling around trying to get out. If you are riding in a car with a woman, you will have to hold on to their hand and the car door will close automatically.

I love the car, do I need to pay for gas?

I am not sure what I'm reading, but I do think I have a deeper understanding of the phenomenon now.

Also, yes, please pay for the gas. It's gonna be like $15.68 I think? Plus tip, since I pumped that for you.

Bump, caus' we ain't done here. I've got more tongue in cheek, spit-posting in me.

----

I'm seeing some of these answers being things like, Oh they just don't like swallowing because they're too straight for it, or It's just something that naturally develops when people live amongst poverty.

But why isn't this something that women also do? I'm sure some might try to deflect by saying Oh, that's just unlady-like behavior, but the question remains, Why is spitting considered a masculine activity?

And so, I think our best answer has gotta be, It's just a primordial urge for males of a species to mark their territory. Aren't humans above this? But I guess we used to have fads where guys would do things like buy rubber scrotums for their trucks, or elect a guy for president that proudly claimed to grab women by their genitals. (Though, I guess that ones not quite out of vogue yet, and granted, women also help elect him!)

Huh. That post turned out a lot less fun than expected. :/

I wonder why people spit in general. I've never felt the need to do it at all other than when I'm feeling nauseous or something.

I guess I just swallow my saliva but it must be completely unconsciously.

I don't get it either, the only time I'll do it is like in the shower, when I'm sick with a sore throat and it hurts to swallow.

I have no idea why, but I always just have an urge to spit out excess saliva. Now I don't spit in the parking lot or around people. But if I'm hiking or walking across a grass patch and no one is nearby, I'll spit.
I'll allow it. Just don't spread your seed in the parking lot.

People get pregnant through kissing, right?

I don't think I can cover $15.68, do you think I could cover that as $25? The answer was an affirmative. So the final price tag of the bill was as follows:

Rates for a single visit at the clinic: $200
Rates for a single visit at the same clinic in outpatient settings (medical clinics): $550

You can see the full bill here.

Can you try sending it again? I'm clicking on it but it's not working for some reason. Or maybe I'll just have my granddaughter take a look at it for me; I'm not so great with computers myself...Or actually, could you just mail me the bill? (My granddaughter and I, we're not on such good terms right now) I promise I'll take care of it.

WTF. That's even worse! YIKES. So what you're telling me, is that humans are actually WORSE than animals, and have to both piss and spit at the same time in order to properly mark their territory.

spitting when they get out of the car might be smokers. I have a friend who used to spit all the time when she smoked in the car
I would acknowledge more posts like this one if they weren't decent arguments. The thing is, I've gotta double down, or people might think I'm weak! You understand, don't you?
