Flesh and Blood Question of the Day

October 19, 2009 03:04 PM EDT
views: 137 | rating: 10/10 (21 votes) | comments: 112

I watched a show last night called "Cheaters" where people are caught cheating on their significant others, boyfriends/girlfriends, or whoever.  When caught these people don't usually respond very well to having an entire entourage of cameras and body guards and their significant other busting them with their new flames. 

Some of these people will become livid and scream and yell and yet others will want to fight with the camera men or body guards.  Last night it was different.  The woman who had called "Cheaters" and who was being cheated on approached her cheating spouse and spit right in his face with all of the gumption that she could muster.

It was an ugly sight to say the least.

What do you think of people who spit on others like this?  Is this meant to be the ultimate insult or what?  I mean I could think of nastier things to do myself but would never or could never spit on someone.

What would you do if someone did this to you for any reason?

I'm not a spitter in any sense of the word...for one thing, that is the ultimate insult. If someone had the audacity to spit on me...they'd best be prepared for my reaction...it would most likely be my fist right in their face...and I'm not normally a violent person.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 4:42pm EDT
They'd best believe that that would be my reaction as well E.~

I'm not a violent person either but this would just be too much!!
penni d. Oct 19, 2009, 7:12pm EDT
yep...a fist here too... Body fluids should be shared by lovers only, and spit is not a fluid I would want to share...UGG
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 8:07pm EDT
I thought you'd say that Penni! Ugh is right!
Larry H. Oct 19, 2009, 3:11pm EDT
THAT IS SICK
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 4:54pm EDT
And boy is it ever sick!
Lewis (taking over Gather) K. Oct 19, 2009, 3:12pm EDT
Good for her!
Lewis (taking over Gather) K. Oct 19, 2009, 3:51pm EDT
Joking, of course. Sort of. It's definitely not something I'd ever do. You didn't say what his reaction was... but I think most people would be ready to fight...
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 4:55pm EDT
Really now Lewis ~ ~
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 4:57pm EDT
I'm glad you were joking Lewis. I do think that some think it is the unltimate as in trying to tell the other that they are pure "trash." An ugly gesture but one that I have seen and heard about a lot lately. Apparently some have forgotten how easy it is to get one's teeth knocked out. :O)

The guy that got spat on moved forward as if wanting to smack his wife but the bodyguards held him back from doing anything really stupid. I would have felt the same way. Let's take off that jewelry and get on with it!
Cheryl W. Oct 19, 2009, 3:13pm EDT
I think spitting is gross and disrespectful. If someone was caught cheating on me, I would probably turn and walk away...figuring they deserve each other.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 5:00pm EDT
Exactly the way that I feel Cheryl. I would just look at him and her and think how very pathetic that one would have to stoop so low.

I know that cheating is pretty commonplace these days but I cannot resign myself to accepting that sort of behaviour as I am not the cheating type. I have also not been raised with this sort of behaviour. (My Parents have been married for 52 years now.)

I too would just walk away. Not to say that this would not hurt me because it would but why all of the crying, spitting and fighting? There's no sense in it.
Jericho Ring Oct 19, 2009, 3:24pm EDT
I have only been spit at (not on) once. It was in 1969. I did nothing because I considered the source.

Well, not true. A llama spit at me at the zoo one time. Again- just consider the source.

A Rhea once tried to kill me by pecking me to death. So surprized I dropped my rifle and ran. Had to sneak back later and get it after the rhea was gone...there is no honor in killing a rhea...

My third wife once attacked me with my own stratocaster. Lucky for me, it was too heavy for her to get in any really good licks. When cooler heads prevailed, it was agreed by all that I had it coming...I have yet to teach her to shoot.

A guy on the street once attacked me with his umbrella. Again, it is possible I had it coming...

I once got into a fight with a marine who just got out of the brig in Okinawa...but then, that is a whole other story.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 5:01pm EDT
From the sounds of it Jericho, you've had it coming a few times ~ just kidding.

Luckily no one has ever spit on you as I feel sorry for them and for your umbrella. ;p
Jericho Ring Oct 19, 2009, 6:03pm EDT
Well, every time except the rhea and the 1969.
Elizabeth O. Oct 19, 2009, 8:18pm EDT
I was spit on by a camel once at the zoo ~ I didn't deserve it, but...that's what camels do...yuck.
Elizabeth O. Oct 19, 2009, 8:21pm EDT
Oh, I've also been spit on a couple of times by patients suffering from dementia...unpleasant, of course, but they had no control over their behaviour.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 11:14pm EDT
Ewww Elizabeth ~ spit on by a camel?? I know they do that as is common with them but can't think of what I would do if that happened to me...eek!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 11:15pm EDT
Do you know that I think it would be more gross to be spat on by another person than by an animal. At least an animal means nothing personal by it and most people that spit do. The lucid ones at least...
DIANE D. Oct 19, 2009, 3:28pm EDT
No, not for any reason. I would hit him over the head with a pan though! Lol~
Jericho Ring Oct 19, 2009, 3:30pm EDT
If I caught someone cheating on me, I would get as many photos and sworn statements as possible.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 5:03pm EDT
Diane ~ I would probably be very angry but what I would do would really depend on the situation.

I doubt that I would do anything these days. I once would have gotten violent and wanted to hurt him and her but these days I think that it really isn't worth it.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 5:06pm EDT
Jericho ~ If I were in my Sister's shoes I would take all of the photos and get all of the incriminating evidence that I could as she is in a million + dollar home and has a lot to loose. Things that she would need in order not to be left out in the cold...if you know what I mean.

I for one don't have that sort of community property anymore so it wouldn't matter to me if he just decided to walk away with her...
Jericho Ring Oct 19, 2009, 3:29pm EDT
Oh, wait, my little sister used to spit at me all the time. I used to get her down and pretend to hock a big old loogey in her face. Good times!!
Now that we are both over 60, we hardly ever do that any more. Well, unless politics or religion is being discussed.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 5:07pm EDT
Hahahaha! "...unless politics or religion is being discussed."
Trish T. Oct 19, 2009, 7:45pm EDT
lol hardly do that any more??lol
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 8:08pm EDT
Exactly what I was thinking Trish...
Harper S. Oct 19, 2009, 3:37pm EDT
I would be outraged and plotting my revenge.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 5:08pm EDT
I know that I would be outraged as well but right now think that he could just leave if he was that desperate to find a replacement for me so covertly.
Harper S. Oct 19, 2009, 11:23pm EDT
my bad. I meant I would be outraged being spit at not being cheated on. I have been cheated on before and didn't need revenge but it was definitely the end of the relationship.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 20, 2009, 7:47am EDT
You are a better woman than I because the first time that I was cheated on was during my first marriage and I was just a kid. When I caught him with her, all I could think of was blood! I wanted to kill them both on the spot.

Luckily with age comes wisdom and I would never even think of anything like that now.
Monique Mealue Oct 19, 2009, 3:41pm EDT
I wouldn't spit on him, but maybe kick him where it hurts.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 5:08pm EDT
Sounds good to me Monique!
Marsha S. Oct 19, 2009, 3:41pm EDT
probably slap them
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 5:09pm EDT
I think that I would feel like doing that too but don't think that it would be worth a ride to jail for assault either.
Spencer T. Oct 19, 2009, 3:44pm EDT
I too feel spitting on another is the ultimate insult. Thats something I wouldn't do.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 5:11pm EDT
Good thing but wouldn't it be too bad for them if they decided to do it to you? I would imagine it would be worse for a man to get spit on than for a woman for some reason but who am I to say?

I think it would be pitiful any way you look at it.
Kimber L. Oct 19, 2009, 3:51pm EDT
I could never spit on another human being ever. My exhusband used to do it to me as a form of abuse, to degrade me and try to make me feel worthless.

I would never call a show like this to try to find out if my spouse was cheating or not. I trust my spouse. If I did not have that trust I would not be able to be in the relationship.

If I did find out some other way that my spouse was cheating and by chance it was in a public manner I would not spit, scream, carry on or cry, or anything of that matter, I would simply turn around and walk away.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 11:19pm EDT
Kimber I am so sorry that you had an ex that used to spit on you. What a horrible thing for a person to do. I'm sure you are glad that is why he is your ex.

The show is entertaining for the most part but why I really don't know. It really isn't fun to see people crying and suffering over a cheater; I guess it must be because one wants to see how others react to this sort of behaviour.

You know that your response regarding the way that you wouldn't act if you found out that your significant other were cheating on you. I think that would be the way to go and to keep your self respect. All of that other carrying on and crying isn't going to bring the person back to you anyway.
Kimber L. Oct 19, 2009, 11:30pm EDT
It is just going to make you look like an a$$ and make the people watching the show say no wonder he cheats on her if she acts like that most of the time. Like I said - if you don't have TRUST why be in the relationship??!!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 20, 2009, 7:49am EDT
You're right Kimber. I do believe that the reason that most people get these people to investigate their significant others is because they have their suspicions but want confirmation.

I don't think that I could do it because I would know that with that show it would be the end of things and no turning back from that point.
Kimber L. Oct 20, 2009, 9:30am EDT
I probably won't watch the show - I am glad people are "catching" the ones doing the cheating and moving on with their lives but I don't think I would enjoy watching other peoples misery and drama LOL!!! I watch tv to escape realities!! I want fun happiness and fairy tales!!!!!!!! :) Happy endings! I found mine so now I want to see everyone else get one too - I know the world doesn't really work that way but I have suffered enough misery - I wanna keep my exposure to additional misery to a minimum! :)
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 20, 2009, 10:30pm EDT
Gosh I guess I need to quit watching reality shows as they are pretty pitiful. I too prefer the happy endings and fairy tales and these reality shows are hardly that.
Kimber L. Oct 20, 2009, 10:38pm EDT
Nah - it is also nice to watch them once in a while and say - "well at least things aren't THAT bad" LOL!
Kimber L. Oct 20, 2009, 10:41pm EDT
LOL people in our town were actually on the Jerry Springer show. Sadly it is something the woman is proud of even though she is pretty much on the show for being a slut! Cheating with a guy and girl and awful. I won't say much about her but she is NOT a friend and is trying to cause legal trouble for a friend but I can't imagine the tape of herself on tv she is so proud of is doing her case much good!
Kimber L. Oct 20, 2009, 10:42pm EDT
LOL Who needs tv at all with the front row seats to the drama in our town!!! Ha ha ha ha !
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 21, 2009, 4:49am EDT
Kimber knows someone who has been on the Jerry Springer show?? Wow!
Kimber L. Oct 21, 2009, 7:29am EDT
Let me reiterate - NOT a friend LOL
Nancy S. Oct 19, 2009, 3:53pm EDT
In the first place if I had to have them followed, they weren't the one for me. If I didn't trust someone we would just split. I would never spit on anyone for any reason. If someone spit on me I would probably laugh at them just before I ruined their mouth.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 11:21pm EDT
You're right Nancy. If one can not trust their significant other then why stay with them? It doesn't make any sense to have a television show do your dirty work for you. I do think that I would hire a private investigator if I had my doubts and felt like it was necessary to know the truth. I would have to know at some point.

I don't know that I could laugh if someone spit on me...it would be more like a swift punch to their mouth for doing so as you say. hahhaha!
JOHN BECK Oct 19, 2009, 4:07pm EDT
Sure it's an insult, but it reflects more on the spitter than the spitee!
JOHN BECK Oct 19, 2009, 4:08pm EDT
I'm with you, Esther. Get me angry enough and I might do something else, but not spit!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 11:22pm EDT
And what an insult it is John. An awfully ugly one at that!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 11:23pm EDT
I do believe that it would only be a natural reaction apart from the shock factor of having someone spit on you and then the being so disgusted that one would want to cause bodily harm on the spittee! :O)
David P. Oct 19, 2009, 4:08pm EDT
When watching Whitney Houston's interview with Oprah, the thing that seemed to hurt her most was when Bobby Brown (her husband) spit on her. I think it is terrible. If anyone ever spit on me I would never talk to them again. Just totally avoid them forever. Thank God it never happened to me.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 11:24pm EDT
I saw that interview and it was a very good one albeit a bit shocking at some of the things that Whitney went through. I can't believe she stuck with him as long as she did but I think it had to do with their daughter.

Thank goodness someone has never spit on me either as it would be too bad for them!
Vivian P. Oct 19, 2009, 4:50pm EDT
I'd ask the spitter if it made them feel any better and go wash my face. I never hit. I think about it sure but I don't.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 11:25pm EDT
You're sweet Vivian about not hitting. I think that this act would only warrant as low a response as the initial action. It would only seem fair to me.
Angie O. Oct 19, 2009, 4:57pm EDT
If someone spit on me, I'd slap them across the face.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 11:26pm EDT
So would I!
Kelly Kay Oct 19, 2009, 4:59pm EDT
I have NEVER in my life felt the need to spit on anyone, for any reason. That is classless and archaic, it shows that there must have been a break in the DNA from animal to human some where.

I don't like violence, but if someone disrespected me at this caveman level, I'd beat them until I was pulled off.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 5:14pm EDT
You are so right about spitting being classless and archaic. Not to say even gross and pretty pathetic!

You have won the bouquet for the comment of the day with your last sentence in your comment as it is the best today!
"I don't like violence, but if someone disrespected me at this caveman level, I'd beat them until I was pulled off."
Kelly Kay Oct 19, 2009, 5:23pm EDT
*blush*

Lovely flowers =)
Janie E. Oct 19, 2009, 5:02pm EDT
Oh, heck no!! I couldn't spit on anyone, no matter how upset I was. I'd slap him, calmly start packing his stuff, and kick him out of the house!!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 5:15pm EDT
I like your style lady. I couldn't ever spit on anyone either. It just would never happen with me. I would be afraid someone would beat me up and knock some teeth out for doing so.
Janie E. Oct 19, 2009, 5:24pm EDT
Thanks, Esther! You're too pretty for anyone to beat up on you, much less, knock your teeth out. :)
Holly C. Oct 19, 2009, 5:27pm EDT
If someone knocked out Esther's teeth and messed up her beautiful smile, we'd all have to go after that person.
Janie E. Oct 19, 2009, 5:34pm EDT
So true!!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 11:26pm EDT
Ya'll are the BEST!

Thanks for the sweetness!
Janie E. Oct 20, 2009, 4:24pm EDT
Awww!! You're very welcomed, Esther!!
Holly C. Oct 19, 2009, 5:02pm EDT
Spitting is absolutely disgusting and it is my pet peeve. I would never spit on anyone and if anyone spit on me they'd get slapped.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 5:17pm EDT
It is definitely a pet peeve of mine although I never thought of it. I just started thinking of it recently because of several shows that I have seen where people got spat on and I got to thinking of how I had never seen this personally.

I do believe that I would have to slap someone if I ever got spit on as that is assault in it's purest form. Ugh!
Holly C. Oct 19, 2009, 5:25pm EDT
I've only seen it on t.v. too, never in person. I have seen people spit on the sidewalk and that's bad enough.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 11:27pm EDT
You know you're right Holly. Spitting is just an ugly act no matter how one looks at it.
Solskin Iam Oct 19, 2009, 5:38pm EDT
well shucks..... even if i wanted to i cannot projectile spit.... i wrote a poem about spitting and other things.... i will have to post it.....i have nevet spit on anyone and have never been spit on in the true sense of the word.....if i had been i would have probably gone after the person with the energy of an insane person (oh i forgot, i am insane lol)......close to that being the ultimate insult telling someone you will spit on their grave might be equal or second..... in all 35 years my spouse taught 9th graders that..... spit on your grave..... upset him...... i am quilty of grossly saying..... swapping spit..... sometimes... one would think i had no breeding at all..... but i did..... i did... i went to southern lady school.... i know how to hold my pinkie finger and all......i am the pothole lady......lol
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 20, 2009, 7:54am EDT
Solskin ~ I have got to read that poem of yours...

Have you ever seen that movie "I'll spit on your grave??" I haven't seen it but heard that it is as ugly a film as the saying is.

You needn't feel bad about using the term "swapping spit" as a lot of people use that even if it does sound gross. It is the truth ultimately.

I hold my pinkie finger up naturally myself and I never went to Southern Lady school ~ of course I am a southern lady... ;)
Tina M. Oct 19, 2009, 6:34pm EDT
NO spitting here....thats just not lady like! I'd just walk away and feel I was better off without him if he cheated on me!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 20, 2009, 7:56am EDT
These days I wouldn't put that much energy into trying to stop a cheater either...just walk away and leave me be...
Sophie S. Oct 19, 2009, 7:12pm EDT
I don't think I could ever bring myself to spit on anyone because I think it is absolutely the nastiest thing in the world. That said, I have been spit on myself, and by total strangers.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 19, 2009, 8:10pm EDT
Oh my gosh Sophie! How could a complete stranger be so angry or hateful to do something like that to a complete stranger? Must be some really sick people out there is all I can say.

I am so sorry that this happened to you Chica.
Marianne R. Oct 19, 2009, 7:15pm EDT
Not a spitter
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 20, 2009, 7:57am EDT
Neither am I. Too gross.
Denise B. Oct 19, 2009, 7:49pm EDT
not a spitter - and hope to never put myself in a situation where someone would want to spit on me.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 20, 2009, 7:58am EDT
Doesn't it make you wonder what it is that would make someone so mad that they would want to spit on you?
Trish T. Oct 19, 2009, 7:56pm EDT
First my mother would knock my teeth down my throat if were to ever be as tacky as that to spit on some one and I am 37 she would still whoop my rear end.
Second I hate that show. It like so many others on tv these days are tacky and tasteless to air a couples dirty laundry.
Third if I found out my spouse was cheating on me.. I would do what I did when I found my ex husband cheated... I called his mother. with my first MIL I was the daughter she could never have and I could do no wrong in her eyes. and when she found out she came unglued and threw him out of her house....lol
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 20, 2009, 8:00am EDT
You were lucky to have the MIL that you did. Some of us are never so lucky...

My Mom would have disowned us were she to discover we would do something as classless as to spit on someone. Ugh!
Elizabeth O. Oct 19, 2009, 8:25pm EDT
Here's another thought that I didn't see in any of the comments ~ I can't imagine airing my dirty laundry on TV for the whole world to see ~ some things are private and need to be dealt with in private...so, I guess I'm saying that if people don't have enough class not to put that stuff out in front, spitting is probably not a big deal to them...just saying.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 20, 2009, 8:02am EDT
You are so right Elizabeth. I can see exactly what you mean about the type of person who would do this sort of thing. The entire show is so ugly sometimes and so sad for others.

I do believe that there should be a certain amount of decorum in these sorts of situations and that no amount of publicity will bring a couple back together again. Best to leave all of the humiliating details for behind the scenes and in the privacy of your own home.

Thanks!
M & M. Oct 19, 2009, 11:08pm EDT
I think that is the most horrid thing that anyone can do to another. I don't know how I would react, until it happend to me. I think would be so stunned, that my reaction would be very delayed.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 20, 2009, 8:05am EDT
I too would be stunned and shocked at someone spitting on me. Once I got over that I think my only thought would be to try to get that spit off of me and to punch that person right in the mouth. Someone like that would have to be taught a lesson. That or just laugh at them as Nancy said above and then just walk away. That would hurt them a heckuva lot more than a punch or slap would I believe.
Clifford N. Oct 19, 2009, 11:09pm EDT
Regardless of the situation, spitting on anyone is uncouth. Same for physical violence of any kind. Just shows how unstable both are. If I thought my wife would spit on me, I would probably already have left her because if she thinks that little of me, she does not deserve to married to such a nice guy as myself.

Of course, if I really thought of myself that way, she shouldn't have married me in the first place. Life is so much fun.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 20, 2009, 8:07am EDT
Clifford, spitting is uncouth as uncouth can be and as you say so is physical violence. This spitting thing is a violation almost as vile as being beat up would be and I do believe even worse so.

If I thought anyone I know were the type to spit on someone ~ they can forgetaboutit as I do think that is a personality trait that I do NOT appreciate.

Life is FUN...most of the time.
Ed Da Head Toker Oct 20, 2009, 12:23am EDT
it would depend on the situation. IF it was another cop, I would get even by another way.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 20, 2009, 8:07am EDT
Hmmm....
donna h. Oct 20, 2009, 5:41am EDT
I would never spit...a divorce is good ...I don't believe in all the violence-drama..he cheats..leave...who cares!!! see what happens when you get older ,you realize that no one is worth it!!!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 20, 2009, 8:09am EDT
Ha! Donna. As I said earlier on this thread, no one is worth that much drama to me anymore either. With age comes wisdom and no one is worth it is true. So true my dear.
Jennifer R. Oct 20, 2009, 9:35am EDT
I have watched that show a few times. Amazing how people act sometimes isn't it? Spitting on somene I think is the most vile thing. Honestly I can't say I have ever done it but if you remember from our man Flavor Flav's show spitting can be dangerous!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 21, 2009, 4:52am EDT
You know the spitting thing is vile and I'm glad that someone finally said it.

I'm surprised that you would watch Flavor Flav's Love show as I did as I found it to be hilarious! It's a wild world out there isn't it? I do remember the spit part too. Ugh!
Carrie Marie P. Oct 20, 2009, 6:05pm EDT
I've never been spit upon. That's nasty.

I watched this show many years ago....about two episodes and quit... I find 'reality tv' disgusting and dishonest to the viewer... their is nothing real about it at all.

And, I find it even more disgusting that a show makes money off of people's pain.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 21, 2009, 4:55am EDT
Glad to hear that you've never been spat upon. I haven't either and it's just as well for the other person...

That darn show is still on and ironically enough is filmed here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex...

As someone mentioned above, I enjoy reality television to a certain point and that point is to remind me how good my life really is in comparison to some who appear on some of those shows. Harsh but true.

Yea, it is disgusting that a show would make money off of people's misery, pain and unhappiness. Sad but true.
That they are even on a show of such banal and low caliber says volumes about them and puts them right in the spitter category~
o and if anyone was stupid enough to expectorate in my face they'd have a fist in their's~
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Oct 20, 2009, 6:22pm EDT
You are absolutely right about the caliber of the show and the people in the mix. Nothing nice and rather disturbing to say the least.

I feel the same way about the spitter...it could be dangerous for them but good for their dentist. :O)
K D. Oct 20, 2009, 6:20pm EDT
I think that spitting on someone doesn't mean that much here in the states. In other countries, it is truly a horrible thing.

As for the cheating, I think that the best thing to do is just simply walk away from the cheater.

(jumps down from her soapbox)

K.D. ~ You can jump on your soap box anytime you want to around here. I don't mind and most don't mind around here either...

I too would just walk away but as for getting spit on ~ naw. It just wouldn't happen!!

Thanks, Esther! I agree, I wouldn't want to have someone spit on my and I don't think I'd walk away from that.

I just walk away from the disfunctional man.

Walk away from the dysfunctional man sounds like a good and sane thing to do in my book.

Thanks!

I didnt read all the comments, because I didnt want to get kicked off and then say I cant post a blank comment, so,

I would never spit in someone's face, and believe me, I have thought about it once or twice, but, if someone spit in my face, well, I am sorry, but the ghetto in me would come out and I would have to kick their dumba$$!!! It is the ulitmate in disrespect and totally unneccessary, plus if I thought someone was cheating on me, no cameras would be around,,,,,,I caught my first boyfriend in bed with some chick, and let me tell you, it was really ugly!!!!!!! they were nakid, I was not, i was mad, mad, mad, not really about them cheating, but in MY bed??????? NOOOOO WAAAYYYY was that going to be "walked away from" but I didnt spit at all, I dont think~~~~~

Barb ~ I had to snicker when I read your last sentence about not thinking that you had spit. I know what you mean about finding an ex with another cheating. Luckily I didn't catch mine in my bed because there would have probably been bloodshed. :x I did catch them holding hands at my husbands nightclub and that was enough to incite a riot as I had to be carried out by two bouncers. I too was mad, mad, maddd!!

The spitting would indeed bring out the ghetto girl in me too honey!

I can take almost anything...I absolutely cannot stand for someone to spit on me. that's how germs are spread for one.

I've been spit on before and I went nuts almost losing my job once. I was a cashier at Wal-Mart.

That is a crime to spit on some one, you could spread germs. I saw this on TV where a woman spit on a cop and he hauled her in.
