This post is inspired by the book Perfect Skin. There's a section where the narrator ends up jogging with another person. He is used to running alone and spitting whenever required. He has a predicament when he needs to spit.

Is it acceptable to spit when you have an audience? 

I don't think it's ever acceptable to spit... it's fucking disgusting!

you can also be fined for it in some municipalities.

Only when chewing Tobacco.

Have you tried chewing Eric?

whats it like?

I have tried snus (not snuff but I've had that too)
I guess its the same as that

Not actually.  I'm not a big fan of Tobacco products, but was looking for something disgusting to add as is my way.

lol.

Oh oh, lemme tell you a story.

I once went for coffee with someone. We sat there for a few hours, and he kept spitting thru the whole time. After he did it about twice, I asked him what he was doing and why. He said he always has to spit when he drinks coffee. So he just sat there, leaning over his shoulder and spitting at regular intervals....

Needless to say, that was the last time I went out with him EVER

did he try and club you and drag you home?

could you open beer bottles on his brow???

hahahaha I know.... such a caveman

That's hilarious Dek. You must have been SO EMBARASSED!

Are you all telling me that you have never spit when jogging or running long distances? What do you do about the inevitable build-up of phlegm?

take a drink of water.

I was initially, then I thought what he does is a reflection of himself, and let it go.... what an idiot

Gosh. I'm feral and did not know it...

Spitting is gross, it ruins it for the poeple around you, totally. Just don't spit, swallow!

When I run, I don't have a build-up of phlegm. Might puff and sweat a bit but no phlegm. Not sure it's mandatory Kasta. 

Once again I have revealed way too much on Tangler.

Why would one be jogging if they had phlegm?

it's a by-product of jogging...

Running and spitting is wrong.

One should always come to a complete stop then take proper aim in order to minimise civilian casualties. 

LOL

Good advice Ruski

I always have to spit when I run, if I swallowed it would ruin my breathing and I choke on it and then I have to stop and it just ruins my whole pace.  So I say spit away my friends, just not on your friends!
