Spitting

I think I have a problem with spitting.  Not spitting in public, or on sidewalks, in front of old ladies… not anything like that.  No, my problem is with spitting in bathrooms—specifically, the fact that I almost always spit into a toilet or urinal when I use the restroom.  I have no clue at all why I do this, nor do I know when I started doing it.  In fact, it’s not even a concious thing; I just go into a restroom and next thing I know I catch myself doing it.  I’ve even recently make an effort to intentionally stop doing it, but my salivary glands seem to have ideas of their own.

This kind of disturbs me.  It’s not a horrible habit and I’m sure I could keep doing it until I die without any real consequences.  What I don’t like, though, is that I’m doing it at all.  I mean, why am I doing it?  It serves no purpose and I don’t know why or when I started it.  Am I the only one who does it?  Surely others out there share my strange habit and maybe they can shed light on a reason for it…

Hmmm. Probably because there are so few places where it’s appropriate to spit, so you’re subconsciously figuring you better take advantage of the opportunity while you’re there. 

Skinner: Nelson, if you get me out of this, there’s a hall monitor position coming open in the spring.

Nelson: I spit on your monitors.

Skinner: I know.  That’s why the position’s available.

What better place is there to spit?
