My wife doesn't spit unless there is something in her mouth she can't get out any other way and she gets pissy when I spit. She likes to walk around barefoot in the summer time and so she walks in the street rather than on the sidewalk. Less to dodge, I guess.

The thing that bothers me more than the spitting is that they think they are the only ones on the planet. You can be in a crowded store and there will be four or five just standing there gabbing blocking the isle. I got tired of going around them; now I bowl right through them and laugh when they cuss me out! This will happen anywhere and everywhere.

I poke fun at my wife and son sometimes. They do the same to me, so its OK. I tell them that if hadn't been raised by monkeys and grown up in a cave, they would know a few social graces.

Chinese are the most polite, insensitive, graciously social misfits on the planet. But they are cute, so I'll keep mine!
