what's up with spitting in this city?

i can't take it anymore.and i think it's getting worse!
you go out hoping to take a breath of fresh air and check out cute guys while ur walking to work..or on your way for a date wearing ur new italian-made gorgeous shoes.. but no, you have to stare at your feet the whole way because there's a spill of spit every few cms, you move to the right to avoid the one on your left but before you know it ur on the left, right, middle, street, right again..and the guy behind you is starting to get pissed off he has no idea what's ur problem (is she high? this early??? shame on these kids..). the next thing you know u have to close your eyes because a guy coming ur way is doing the "aaakhhhhhhh.." sound and ready to fire. so you close ur eyes and you stop breathing (if ur a germophobe like me) and you concentrate all ur efforts on making it safely spit-free to the next block.
hello??? go spit at home!! what's next, WC duties-turned public?? this has to stop and it has to stop now!
i know you might not believe the next thing i'm gonna tell u, but it did happen. i was on my way to have my favorite breakfast of toasted sesame bagel with tons of cream cheese (one of my few sources of happiness that i'm gonna have to decrease cos it's sooo inflammatory) from the foubourg really early in the morning . there was a cute girl walking in front of me, no evil spitters in sight..so i was feeling very dreamy with my music "still a little bit of your face i haven't kissed.." and the sun was shining and i had my prada sunglasses on... "it's such a perfect day...i'm glad i spent it with you.." and suddenly "khhhhhhhhhhhh...tfouuuuuu". horror!! i did NOT see it coming, where is it coming from? it was her!! and how that pretty thing has such evil in her remains a mystery to me. people, they're all over the place, they're taking over, we've got to do something!
so here's my question for you: is this a montreal-specific phenotype, or is it canada-specific? or is it a worldwide pandemic and we must alert the UN?

Unfortunately spitting is a common phenomenon here in the UAE. Everyone does it, and it disgusts me to the core. The worst is when the driver in the car in front of you opens his door, sticks his head out, spits, then closes his door again. Eww....do I really need to see that?

On a separate note, I loooooooove the Faubourg's bagels...I miss them so much! Nothing beats a nice, toasted Faubourg bagel, with tons of cream cheese and a nice cup of coffee...mmm....heaven :)

maybe it is a way to greet you, a mark of respect, maybe they're just acknowledging your brief encounter :)
