Why do some people love to spit anywhere?
Is it habit? Is it influence? Or is it fad? I don’t know. I have recently been observing everything when I commute to school. I even planned to count the number of people spitting on streets or sidewalks in one day. But I think I cannot.
One thing I notice is that jeepney drivers are the ones who love to spit on the road. Is it an ecstatic feeling to spit out in public? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing?
It is dirty. And those with diseases can easily spread the germs anywhere. It also adds to how dirty a place is. Would you want to bring spit on your doorstep?
Is there no law about this one? Is this freely allowed? I’ve seen several traffic enforcers do this. I’ve even seen professionals doing it too when they’re in the sidewalk.
I guess we’ll all have to live with that.
Or not.
Why are some drivers very undisciplined?
I’m not just talking about traffic rules and ethics but also when it comes to cleanliness. Drivers love to smoke a lot. The funny thing is that they have “No Smoking” signs inside. Another nasty thing is that they throw their cigarette butts in the middle of the street. Is the public road their trash bin?
I am concerned of the cleanliness of our country. I’m not saying I don’t litter. Sometimes I do, but very rarely. Drivers on the other hand, I see them litter everyday of my life. And it is not a good view.
One thing, I also see cigarette butts in our school canteen. Even students?
Philippines, my Philippines
We have so many laws but how many are actually implemented? Local citizens get very irresponsible because they are left to do what they want, good or not. These are quite petty things but they could accumulate and turn into something we don’t want.
Philippines, my Philippines. Oh well.

One of my pet hates are people who spit out gum (chewing gum). It is now like a disease with blobs on the pavements, blobs on the road, blobs on stairs … like a disease. It litters places and looks dreadful. There has often been talk about introducing taxes on it to pay the cost of cleaning it up. What is the answer? Why do people have this dreadful habit.
I was told last year that if people could see what it was made of they would never sell any – a person advised me that they were taught in school that it was made of the same material as carpet underlay … now imagine putting that in your mouth and chewing it!!

Yeah that's another thing: gum. People also must know that bubble gum won't degrade easily. I am not sure but I think it will be decomposed in a couple of years. So dirt would be generally stacked up.
I don't see much bubble gum spitters in our place though.
