Question of the Week

Today’s QoW comes from our How To article today titled “Spit (and Blow) Politely!” We all need to clear our nasal passages now and then. How do you do it? (Note that we’re including answers for both men and women to gauge any difference in approach. My wife, for example, refuses to do it, instead carrying tissues everywhere she goes. – J.M.)

(We encourage you to submit you own QoW ideas using the Question of the Week Ideas link.)

    I do. When spitting, I aim down toward my front wheel to spare those behind me. I wait to fire snot rockets until there’s no one behind, and then aim to the right, off the road.

    Yep, politeness is imperative. The Golden Rule surely comes into play here. 😀

    But isn’t this the quickest way to get a wheelsucker off your wheel? 😉
