I'm not really sure when this became a habit of mine, but for some reason when I'm at home in the shower I feel an overwhelming urge to spit repeatedly. And I do, because it's my shower and it's not like anyone is in there with me. It's a pretty weird habit though. Is it normal?
Whatever floats your boat. Gross fact: Secretly pissing in the shower floats my boat!
At first I was like "yeaa i spit in the shower all the time..it's normal," then I kept reading and you said you felt the urge to do it repeatedly and (not trying to hurt feelings or anything) that freaked me out.....
Of course spitting in the shower is normal. There are a lot worse things going down the plug hole than mucus. Small amounts of urine and faeces as well as general build up of day and night sweat, grease from your hair, pollutants from a general day out and about in a major city. Which leads to my next point, NOT SPITTING IN THE SHOWER IS PROBABLY BAD FOR YOU, Considering all the smoke and smog you inhale over a day. If you work in a trade of any sort its even worse with dust from plaster etc. In fact that is the biological purpose of MUCUS (to collect pollutants to avoid infection and illness through expulsion) And if you go swimming you would have to be a bit silly to not clear the chlorine from your throat. So even spitting in a gym shower is accepted by most athletes. I personally don't spit in the swimming pool but I know plenty of people who do and understand why, so I generally keep my mouth shut, in more ways than one :P
I also spit in the shower habitually. I do it because I'm afraid of shampoo/conditioner getting in my mouth.
as long as when you're spitting and your not making that coughing noise to gather your phlegm in your throat. UG. that's what bothers me.
