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.
