Riding to work this morning I must have witnessed at least 5 people gibbing on the pavement, anyone else think it’s unacceptable or is it just the norm and I’m being to precious? |  |

I think it is illegal in Singapore.
It doesn't look great I agree. [Post edited 13 Jan 2020 8:21]

No, it is disgusting.
Also, people who put their feet up on seats on public transport annoys me! |  | | |

Not good.
Although I haven't been there for over ten years, I remember it was quite common in China. The government had an anti-spitting campaign before the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. |  |

I don't understand spitting on the pitch while playing either.
I've never stopped in the middle of a game, dumbstruck by the thought "d'you know what? I'll just hock a big loogie there now and that'll get me playing much better". |  |

I’ll raise you all a notch, with the spitting in Myanmar.
I lived there for a couple of years up until 2018 and there, both men and women chew the bettel nut and spit the contents out at will. And by that, I mean in formal meetings where they’ll spit into a bottle.
The nut/residue has a distinct pong and seeing as Mrs PH is still working there, you notice the smell the instant you leave the airport, as much as the sight of discoloured pavements/roads of the odious spittle. And when a user opens their mouth, their teeth have rotted and their mouths are a dark red.
Honourable mention the poster about China: they sure know how to flob one out there and right from the back of the throat. |  |

I hate that too, Brian - and it's not as though some of them are unaware of the camera! |  |

If I remember rightly Orwell goes on about the bettel chewing a good bit in 'Burmese Days'.
Ooh, hark at me with my Orwell references! [Post edited 13 Jan 2020 11:37]

I don’t see the point of it either.Even worse when you have a manager on the sidelines doing it too.And certain golfers are doing it now. |  | | |

You will get fined by these all new litter enforcement officers should you accidentally drop something out of your pocket - yet they do nothing about people openly spitting which to me is far worse.
If local councils want to introduce another stealth tax then forget £50 for dog sh1t and bring in £50 for spitting. |  |

can't agree there - players want clear airwaves - it's not pleasant to see, but I'm not going to ask them to swallow some phlegm they'd rather get rid of just because some people find it gross. They're not gobbing onto people after all. Shall we give them all hankies? |  |

In the age of VAR hankies can be flown to the players by drones during the game. | |

Hankies would be great. Monogrammed, naturally, with sponsorship. We could have little hankie breaks, the physio could bring them on and the player would have to leave the field after blowing one out and ask for permission to re-enter after the fourth official had inspected his nostrils.
This could be special. | |

I'd say best kept up their sleeves, like my mum did when I was a kid.
Or socks, if wearing short sleeves. | |

Chewing gum has got to be one of the worse habits. It's everywhere you look on the streets. Even in pubs where they stick it it under the bar counter or the underside of tables.
And chewing it with you mouth open - disgusting. Sam Allardyce being a prime example.
I had a Polish history teacher at school who called chewing gum a "filthy American habit". |  | | |

We could have a spittoon carrier running on to collect donations during injuries, VAR, substitutions, etc. They could be chosen in an online poll from among the subs or players who have already gone off. Bring the game closer to the fans. |  | | |

people who spit their chewing gum onto the floor are even worse. Its an absolute nightmare or councils to clean off (and bloody expensive) and looks awful. Just look down on any high street and you see all these little white/pale brown splodges, where someone couldn't be arsed to put their chewing gum in a bin. |  |

Being gay is illegal in Singapore too so I wouldn't put too much stock in that. |  |
