man, if you live in china and everyone's doing it.. forget about it! it's a lost cause. just move back to america and tell the chinese spitting people here. and while you're at it.. tell those girls who spit to stop too. ugghhh.

I am 1/8 Greek, and I know that in the Greek culture it is considered acceptable to spit on a person for good luck.

Spitting is not universally bad manners, no. It pretty much is in America though.

Yes. It represents the need to expel that which repulses you.
If you meet someone important to you, like a potential employer, you will not spit.
Therefore, if someone spits in your presence, you may turn your attention towards others who will honor you with better behavior.

No, not your place to say anything, how disgusting it might be, they don't see it as bad manners. We probably do a lot of things that they find impolite. We have to adjust to the country we live in.

Spitting is the grossest thing on the planet. I had a friend that would spit--he would say, "Yeah, but you're smoking, and that's gross too."
I then had to explain to him that my lungs were not LAYING ON THE SIDEWALK for him to look at.
YUCK YUCK YUCK YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

Living in Asia I can say you will find lots of things they do rude or strange but they will find the same of you. Don't judge them simply extend to them acceptance and kindness, you will hopefully find they then do the same

Spitting is acceptable after felatio, though not always desired. So don't rule it out altogether.

I dunno about in China, but here, in US I think it is SO disgusting to spit on a sidewalk. Especially when you're in FRONT of me.
