'Sight of woman spitting really stuck in my throat'
I see a lot of things here that make me feel queasy but what I saw this morning really made me retch.
A young woman, dressed in a business suit, spat as she walked along the pavement. It wasn’t just a sly little spit, it was a full-on, manly gob with that awful ‘hcccccccck’ hockling sound following by the big grubber flying from between her lips.
It’s bad enough to see a fellow man spitting but there’s something wrong with the world when a woman is reaching into the back of her throat to send some nasty phlegm flying.
I half expected her to scratch her backside and offer up a ‘beat that’ as I passed. And here’s me thinking women are the more refined sex.

“@NewCrunch - looking at this letter and the comments it looks like we ARE INDEED running out of topic! But.. the point of the matter is not the toilets, but clarifying that whilst some women could be gross, some men could too :)”

“What a load of sexist tosh. It might be gross but gender's got nothing to do with it. Get back to the Middle Ages.”

“@Lawrence: You may have just won your first regional argument with a woman!
I quote Rodzz "But yeah ok, some women - like some men - could be disgusting too ;)"”

“@Gavtek - I beg to differ - on the toilet matter.
I am working in a construction site office at the moment and being the only female on site, I could not demand for a 'ladies only' loo, therefore I just have to share the loo with some 30+ men. The office cleaner is a male too.
Oh the horror of sharing the loo with men! I won't go into details but - stains, spills, hairs & the usual unidentified blob. Some of them couldn't even throw the used toilet papers properly into the trashbin! And mind you these men are those of high profession such as Architects, Engineers, Project Managers etc.
But yeah ok, some women - like some men - could be disgusting too ;)”

“Women can be disgusting, just ask any cleaner which toilets they hate cleaning the most. In my last job, there were several notices sent out about unhygienic practices in the female toilets, you wouldn't believe some of the vile things that were reported, and I'm sure 7DAYS wouldn't allow me to mention them either!
Why do you think they wear so much make up and perfume?”
