In an effort to swim closer to home I started going to a community pool nearby. Just as I was about to get in a lane, the young woman in it stopped at the end, hawked something up, and spit it in the gutter. Then she did it again. The lifeguard to whom I pointed this out said that the gutters empty into the sewer. I don't think so, and even if the water is sent through the filters, is spitting in the gutter now acceptable? Wasn't when I swam in college 35 years ago, isn't at the (expensive) club I was trying to substitute for. But is this dirty or am I being foolishly fastidious? Your honest comments please!

  • In the gutter is one thing. As long as it stays there, I'm okay with that. In the shower? Give me a break, please. Use a tissue, sick or not. That's just plain sick, lazy, rude and grounds for teammate termination. What's the guy think? It just evaporates before it gets on the walls, the floor or the person next to him? Jim
