Is there anything more disgusting than seeing someone spit onto the pavement and walk away, leaving something behind for you to step in? Gross as that is--it's almost as gross to see, or step in--a fresh wad of sticky gum.
Our new Wegmans store had been open two days when we finally got around to visiting it and we were astounded at how many gum cuds littered the fresh asphalt outside the store. Just yesterday I did my shopping and as I walked toward the store, I passed a nicely landscaped area and there they were, a number of gum cuds. One bright green wad of gum really stood out against the fresh, brown mulch.
Not ten feet from this huge wad of gum was a garbage container--not to mention all the gum on the asphalt. What is wrong with people that they can't discard their disgusting (possibly germ-filled) gum in the proper place?
Grrrrrrrrrr!
And what's bothering YOU today?
That is possibly one of the worst pet peeves I have. I'm glad you brought it up. I don't have the answer to stop it, but one store I visit occasionaly seems never to clean their sidewalks of the stuff. Yet another bigger, grocery store across the street keeps ther sidewalks clean. And just plain spit...no that's too nasty.
