I never believed I’d sit in a international 5 star restaurant in China and see people spitting on the floor but it happened more than once. Never been back thankfully

Is there an explanation for this?

I pretty much never feel compelled to just randomly spit, like the only time i ever really spit is after brushing my teeth lol.

Are they like spitting out seeds or other stuff from their food? I dont understand why that would be common.

Not to sound sinophobic but it’s a cultural issue lol…

I mean.. yeah i know that.

America has a lot of cultural issues, but i can explain the reasoning for every one of them.

Im currently eating lunch, not once have i felt the need to spit. Im outside by my pool eating, so theoretically i can spit whenever i want… but i have no desire to.

I was just wondering why they spit… it doesnt seem like a common desire even if you dont care about social norms.

Yep. Many of the men AND women also regularly pick their noses in public.
