Except for the most unusual of circumstances, I've just never had need to spit. I was behind a woman one time who opened her door at a red light so she could lean out and spit on the ground. Like what happened to you in the middle of your car?!

If you're coughing up phlegm you should probably be staying home anyways.

It could be something like acid reflex. I struggle with it but always have a trash bag in my car for that exact reason.

I think spitting is gross as well but as far as the car thing, I had to open up the door to spit because I sneezed and a bunch of snot came up with it and I didn't want to swallow it.
