That was blatant and intentional. I think she was publicly shaming Chicago/America and spitting on its soil. Sad.
That reporter is a wuss, too, I would have told her she better go spit somewhere else. She was spitting right at that guys feet. |

| What a disgusting pig. Of all of the years in Korea, I've seen a lot of spitting but never as rude as that heffer. I would have spat in her face...after the camera was off of course. |

The reporter's response at the end was classic. "Tell me you got that."

I'm pretty sure she was Korean. When the dude asked her something she began her response with "Uhh", the horrid Korean sound used to express agreement....By the way, as I'm typing this in some disgusting ajoshi just coughed up his lung outside my open window and horked it on the ground. Lovely. That's how common horking is here. You can't even write about it without hearing it. Yesterday i saw a revolting old dude hork a lookie at a kid's playground. This behavior is one the things I dislike most about Korea. Makes Koreans seem very primitive. You'd think that a country obsessed with its national image would have addressed this issue by now. I have a cousin back in the States who visited Korea and Japan about ten years ago. I asked him what he recalls most about the visit to Korea. His answer (big suprise) was the snorting, hacking, spitting, snot rockets etc. That is the impression Korea made on him. I informed him that little had changed.
A manners campaign would do Korea wonders. |

| I don't like spitting but that's better than all the millions of dogs pissing and pooping outside in the West. Pets should only be for farms and places with wide open rural areas, not for the city or crowded suburban parks. It's better for the animal too. |

Hmmm....I disagree with pets only living in the areas mentioned. It's not too difficult to pick up after your dog. I seem to remember lots of dog owners in Seoul just letting their dog do their business anywhere without cleaning up afterwards. Pissing is one thing (although it isn't so cool to let them do that near front doors and on people's cars/scooters/bikes). There isn't much one can do to clean that, but the lack of picking up poop thing is a no-no in the city. That happens quite a bit here in Shanghai as well. |

1. People who don't pick up after their pets are disgusting. They have my contempt. No fine is large enough
2. Having said that. It is not unreasonable for animals to deposit bodily fluids in public. They are, after all, only animals! I do, however, hold humans to a higher standard. Spitting on the street is animal behavior and it's revolting. Even dogs don't make the horrid sounds that Korean men do before they make their deposit.
Bodily fluids do not belong on the street. The sooner Koreans realize this the better for all involved.

Substantive fines for violating basic laws would do wonders as well... |

| Where you you guys from? Where I'm from it's pretty common to spit on the street (but then again my hometown is known for cowboys and rednecks). But not as aggressively as that woman. |

Is it a town, or a city? I'm from Calgary, home to a lot of (pretend) cowboys, and the only ppl spitting on the streets regularly are those that use chew... And most of them know to try to use some type of cup or something. |

Calgary it is. I often see people spitting on the streets in Calgary. It wasn't a shock to me coming to Korea. However, it was China that I was slightly surprised at people spitting inside on carpets. |

| Wow, you saw that often in Calgary?? I'm from ForestLawn, the dirtiest and crappiest of Calgary's neighborhoods, and I can't say that I'd see it all that often. It happened, thats for sure, but it wasn't an everyday thing for me. |

| In related news, Seoul is initiating a crack down on spitting and cigarette littering. Personally not happy about it. |
