I obsess over things that I wish I had said or retorts that I kept to myself, what I plan to say to someone, tooth paste, age-defying face wash, iPads and iPods, or just my crazy ideas, observations, advice and opinions...so I'm letting it out here! Here I go...

Gag Me With A Spoon!
It makes me want to throw-up every time I see someone spit. There, at the least, should be some kind of warning so that I can turn my head in time. I would settle for “Hey, Lady! I’m gonna spit!” I would love something more respectful like “I would like to purge my mouth now so you might want to look at anything else but me”. I fear that will never happen…my expectations have exceeded common human behavior patterns. I’ve been sitting in my car at a light and all of a sudden I’ll see spit fly out of the car window in front of me and hit the ground in less time than it takes my brain to comprehend what’s happening and I have the pleasure of witnessing the glob of frothy whiteness splat on the blacktop (which is quite the contrast in color therefore allowing the glob to stand out even more in its icky glory). There’s nothing you can do at that time to erase the sight! Where are we supposed to look when we are idling at a stoplight? Shall I look at my feet and hope that I can FEEL the light turn green? As cool as that would be, it’s not something I feel I can master in the years I have left (and let me add that I’m 39 so I have many, many years left God willing). So, I will continue to test the limits of my gag reflexes and hope that I become numb to the grossness that is public spitting sooner rather than later.

Men picking their noses while driving down the road grosses me, too. Do they think the windshield hides what they are doing? ♥ Mama Mia
ReplyDeleteSo true Mama Mia! I would even be happier if they go in there with a tissue. Or how about when the guy with the largest amount of nose "juice" has to blow all kinds of stuff out of his face cavity...at a restaurant...near your table! It makes me want to throw up in my mouth! And forget about it if I hear something particularly thick come out and I'm eating alfredo....EWWWWWW! I'm officially grossed out for the rest of the day. ICK!
