Freedom of SPIT

I was on my way to school yesterday to meet my classmates to make our project even though it's school fiesta, Yes, I know. So on a jeepney ride on my way to school, I sat beside this old lady. She looks educated, dressed decently and talked smartly with this other lady who's with her. I didn't mean to eavesdrop or anything but of course, I can hear their conversation.
It was quite a long jeepney ride especially when the driver keeps on stopping at every corner just to pickup potential passengers. What I noticed on my long jeepney ride was that old lady beside me. She kept on spitting saliva at the open window. If the wind blew really strong, it could have all ended up on my face. The sight of it grossed me out.
This is but a fragment only of how undisciplined we are. We dress up, trying to impress everyone with our looks yet our actions magnify our being.
I know it is rude but I despise people who spit anywhere. It gives me a negative image of that person and it can't be taken away that easily. It's like playing back that video recorder in my head, restored from the recycle bin. I had two crushes in high school who really looked neat and cute, but when I saw them spit on the ground at school, I was disturbed and said to myself 'hell no, I can't have a crush who acts like that'. Even my parents who are educated and look neat most of the time are among those persons whom I loathe. Yes, I am a rude child.
What I wanna say is that we should all choose a proper place to spit on. There are garbage bins, comfort rooms, and all those other places where we can do that thing in a more well-mannered way, and they are everywhere.


I've recorded this video of that old lady who spit just out the window in a moving vehicle. (video quality = fail)
There's always a time and place for everything, remember that. ;)
Have a great week! :D
