It is so disgusting, makes me want to hurl every time I hear that phlegm hitting the footpath after bringing up all that mucus. Even nicer when you step in it.....yuck!!!...even nicer when you work with someone that does it all day!!...well not the spitting part but the mucus....yuck!!!!

That honking, nose clearing is really disgusting. Especially when they do it in your ear when they are standing behind you in line. If anything gives me the desire to do extreme violence, thats it.

if they will stop them clearing their noses in the street too (honking). That's even worse than spitting

with or without fine, one shouldn't spit publicly..well for me it's a big no no if a friend with me spits whenever/wherever...a big turn off..

stealth ... talking about fines ... i can go on forever. I asked stickers for the cars after registered 2 cars 2 days ago. The lady who served me said they have none, but then she said i have to get one otherwise i will get fine. What the hell ???

By stealth• 10 Oct 2007 06:26

what about the people who spit/throw out waste from their cars. They should be fined more i feel.

i see stealth ... maybe they should enforce in City Centre carpark too ... saw some of these car washer guys spitting here and there, and it was just gross :-(
