I Spit When I Talk PDF Print E-mail

ImageImageI ate lunch with a friend today and he was kind enough to point out that I was spitting on his food while we talked.  I apologized and told him I'd be more careful.

As we continued eating, both of us lamenting about the state of the world today, I noticed my tiny spit globules flying around.  Once he'd made me aware, I could see how bad it was.

We're talking Old Faithful here.

carrot cake
Free slice anyone?
We continued spewing about gas prices and the housing market and a few other issues while I watched my saliva assault his meal.  I tried to cover my mouth and I even made a few light-hearted jokes about it.  He took it in stride.

But I have to say, this new habit bothers me.  I know I'm recovering from a mild summer cold but that's no excuse.  Spitting on other people and their food while you talk is not acceptable social behavior.

At the end of the meal, he asked me if I wanted his slice of cake.  I wondered why he got it if he didn't want it and asked him about it.  He replied, "No, I like it.  I just don't want this piece any more."

Oops.

My new habit is annoying and potentially gross but at least it scored me a second piece of cake.

Oh, Ross. Oh, um. Gee. Errr...is it wrong that I find this hilarious only because I wasn't the one whose cake was splattered?

Way to score the extra goodies, though!

I have no 'how not to spew' suggestions for you. Maybe no speaking while eating? Unless the other person's food looks really good...
