I was driving back from the grocery the other day and caught a red light. As I was sitting at the intersection planning what to cook for dinner, I saw a jogger and didn't think much of it but then, while he was still running, he blew his nose--with no tissue, let the snot stream onto the ground! EEEWWWWWWW!!!! Needless to say, it took awhile for my appetite to come back. So what's the most disgusting thing you've seen people do in public? Why in the world do they do those things?!

Pee in the elevator. I went to visit a friend yesterday and I stepped in the elevator and i looked down and there was a puddle of pee there. I was like so disgusted. I mean, I am pretty sure that was an adult male who did that and why? Why would he pee in an elevator where other people have to get on? So so disgusting. I am just glad I didn't step in it.

Gross!! Why in the world would anyone pee in an elevator when there are so many public bathrooms?! I'm glad you didn't take that elevator, that's really more disgusting that my nose-blowing jogger. We should have a vomiting emoticon here!

Oh god dragon you going to get rather grossed out at this one.Please forgive me now. One night i was walking home from a bar with my friends. I was twittering on about nothing in pitcular as usual, then one of my friends nudged me and pointed. In the alley way there was this drunk guy with his pants around his ankles. He had a very pleasent ,almost peaceful look on his face. I realized he was taking a classic crap in the alley. This man had no concerns of who seen him or anything , just taking what looked like the biggest dump of his life in front of whatever unlucky buisnesses backdoor. eeeeeeewwwwwwwww I hope this didnt make you cringe too much.

Yours is quite horrible! I guess, mine would be someone urinating where others can see them (mostly men do that). We need more public washrooms!

I've heard of men urinating outside public washrooms. They are either too lazy or too defiant to go in and use them--or maybe they are too filthy, who knows? It's a shame they don't have more pride and don't seek privacy when they do this.

There are so many things but in general if anybody try to molest girl in public then it is very bad for us. Apart from that throwing waste at road is also very bad

It is disgusting to molest a girl, yes. Too bad men can't think beyond their reproductive organs. We have a big problem with littering here, too. We had it pretty much under control up till a few years ago when the illegal immigrants started increasing and they throw everything on the street, in the country, all over. They drop their babies' dirty diapers wherever they change them, even. Our border states are filthy with litter.

Eve-teasing - Very common among educated college students!
Hi, One of the most disgusting things done in Public,(specially in colleges) is EVE-Teasing! I think these are not for Fun alone,this strongly represents the degraded Value-system and upbringing of those who does and those who also indulges without protesting. =Lahiri,Kolkata,India.

I was traveling in a local train and a begger came in and was with lots of coins on the plate that he was holding and he was supposedly an blind person assisted by a little girl. A person sitting by me wanted to help the bagger and kept a ten rupees currency note there and took away a5 one rupee coins from the plate. What could be more disgusting for human kind than this?

I read the question in the title line of your discussion and what came to my mind was exacatly the thing you described in your discussion. That's pretty nasty.

When I was growing up, that kind of thing was reserved for if you were working in the fields or the barn and didn't have a hanky and nobody else was around. I guess some people just don't care.

Hmm... Mine may be different from everyone elses. This is not a matter of feces or mucus or bodily wastes. Nope... this one is far more **DISGUSTING** than anything I could ever see, just randomly, in public. I was walking toward my school and there was an overweight girl walking on the other sidewalk, just across from me. These two boys, around my age, were making fun of the girl calling her names like "road block" and shouting words at her like "moo" and just being completely cruel. I walked with her the rest of the way to school - She is VERY nice and creative!! That is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in public. Sorry, but I think that beats your snotty jogger man (which is pretty gross, too)!

Yes, that beats the booger man. Kids can be so cruel and maybe if they'd lay off she would have the self esteem and confidence to lose weight. You were very kind to walk with her and I'm glad you got to know her a little. Some people never do grow out of judging people by their appearance. I hope those boys feel bad later in life when they remember that but they probably won't ever think of it.

I have had that happen to me, one time I was driving just like you and I glanced over at this guy who was walking down the street and I was pretty far away from him and I saw him blow his nose with no tissue and this huge white thing came out. It was so gross and he just kept on walking like it was no big deal I wanted to throw up right there. I have no idea why people do things like that it is the grossest thing in the world to go walking into a grocery store and look down at your feet and see a huge blob of snot on the ground! YUCK! And why is it always found in front of the grocery store? I'm with you on this it is so gross!

I wonder why they would not go behind a tree or behind the store or whatever--they have no pride and no respect for others, I guess. Everyone has to blow their nose but there's no need to make other people sick by doing it in public.

peeing on roadsides and walls are one of the most disgusting things that i come across in my life. Most of the men who do it just do not think that there is anythng wrong in their act and look bewildered when confronted! i read somewhere that one place in North India placed mirrors on roadside walls and public places to stop this habit. :)

I don't know why men don't take more pride in their dignity. They are a puzzle to me. The mirrors are a wonderful idea!

I think that is soooooo disgusting when guys do that!! The most disgusting thing that I witnessed was when I lived in Florida many years ago. I was at a bus stop waiting for the bus early in the morning when a drunk came by and sat on the bench. I got up from the bench and walked away from him. I'm glad I did because then he started to vomit! Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! How sick!!! When he was finished he looked at me and said, "I'm sorry." That was the most disgusting thing that happened to me that I can think of right now. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

Oh, the poor man! Bad enough to be drunk like that in public but then to vomit in public! I hope he was able to get his life together. At least he had the dignity to apologize.

I don't have to describe it except it's disgusting lol I don't know why they do those things or if they ever feel embarrassed doing that hahaha...

And I don't know why I check a discussion like this when I eat my breakfast! Men seem to have no problem with spitting, expelling bodily fluids, showing off their "manhood" and scratching in private places. They can be quite disgusting at times.

I remember as a child I had a friend that picked her nose and ate it. I told her she was lucky, she didn't have to go get a tissue but I didn't have the stomach to do as she did. Lucky me!

Well, i was walking home from school and went through the park w/ my friends when someone threw a ciggy butt on the ground. A minute later a dog licked it and burned it's mouth, and the dude just laughed. What a loser.

What a loser! And a cruel person, too. I wouldn't think that was a bit funny. And he's a litterbug. I smoke but I never throw my butts on the ground, I put them out then pocket them to dispose of later. At home I smoke outside only and never litter my yard with them, either.

That is gross LOL the worst thing I have seen was someone picking their nose and eating it LOL I have seen people getting dressed in plain site at a campground. The person was totally naked in front of my sister and I it was very weird especially since were 12 and 7. People are just plain weird when they do stupid things like that.

I agree that jiggling fat is gross but at least he was trying to do something about it! It's also gross when a man wears a tshirt and it doesn't cover the huge belly that's hanging over his belt. Women are gross, too, when they wear short tops and let all that fat show. I'm a bit overweight but I'd never dream of showing my body like that!

Other than spitting in public, the one time (after a hockey game), a guy grabbed me and tried to do "stuff" with me. Ewwww, lucky for me, fans have chased him away.

The most disgusting thing I've ever witnessed people do in public is peeing on a public wall. They are not even conscious if others will see their boom boom. Second is spitting in public. You were behind this person and while walking, he suddenly spits. Grrrr, to your surprise, you felt a sudden splash of liquid and start wondering what that was. You only realized that it was a spit when you noticed the man before you pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket. BS!

In the states, if someone urinates in public they are arrested for obscene behavior. They are usually let out on bail and when their day in court comes they get a hefty fine! I hate it when people spit, it's so rude.

I don't know if this would qualify as disgusting but I was personally disgusted by this weird woman's actions. It was a normal school day for me, and it was totally normal for me to be riding the public bus to and from home. And there i was sitting at my usual seat and i noticed this lady at the other seat opposite of mine looking dazed and as if she's lost her sanity. Before i knew it i saw that her hand was under her shirt, at first i thought she was itching somewhere but then i realized that she was actually fiddling with her nipples. OMG, i was shocked, like on a public bus? Was she insane?? I almost wanted to puke, it's just something i find utterly disgusting, especially when the lady was so messed up, she was in her late 40s. She even went so far as to lift her whole shirt up. I don't know about you guys, but in my country where it had always been peaceful and NOT WEIRD, this is definitely weird and disgusting. ergh~

She must have been mentally ill, no sane person does that. I hope she eventually got some help, that's very upsetting to see.
