I am guilty of spitting quite a bit while jogging, however I do this in zurich, not basel.

ditto.
i love a good running spit.
in basel.
grass spitter though.

only place in basel i've noted 'extra' spitting activity is in the St. Johann area. i chock it up to flu season and yes, maybe cultural differences *ducks*.

But what do the gay men in Zurich who are walking by whilst she's exercising think about this?

Excellent point!!

I've never been anywhere with as many people spitting huge globs of phlegm on the pavement as ... Basel.
That's what tissues and trash cans are for... They can be found everywhere!

Re: Spitting

...and the more I started doing it I (think) I started to realise that it's like a greeting.

I mean, when I was walking along the pavement I noticed a bloke coming in the opposite direction, I'd got so used to it I just rolled one up in my mouth (round my tongue) & sort of threw it out through pursed lips. To my amazement he kind of gobbed one out in the same way.

All day I was greeting other men with all sorts of spitting & they were greeting me back....

As a gay man I give you permission to spit while you're exercising but not whilst standing at a tram stop.
I would NEVER do that. it's weird, i find spitting super gross but while jogging I just gotta do it.

Re: Spitting

...but, as I passed a shop with the words K E B A P stenciled on the window there was a huge guy who looked at me from head to toe with a grudging expression on his face, he then made a horse-like sound sucking through his nose, took his fag out & dropped a grey blob onto the pavement.

Upon seeing this I mounted the kerb, turned my head sideways & drooped a fresh fried egg in the gutter, he sort of smiled & I went merrily on my way...

Re: Spitting

In the US, most of the spitters are smokers. Correlation?

Re: Spitting

OK, we've established where most of the spitters are. Now, what about swallowers?

She's one and the same, but only if you taste like Labatt Blue.

I heard someone likes to gargle a lot but I never knew whether it ended in a spit or a swallow. quite enervating actually.
