I wonder if this is a cultural difference. When I was a kid, because people did this all the time for various reasons. It's less common now (or at least, in the circle of people who ride in my car it is), especially with better door ajar sensors, but still a situation in which if it happened in my car I would guess the door hadn't been shut all the way and they were just closing it. As a teenager/20s in the 90s/00s, having tobacco spit and realizing you forgot your cup was a semi-common reason to do that. The alternative (assuming you weren't so classless as to spit on the floormat) was to swallow the spit which is really terrible for you.
- adgjlsfhk1 3y agowhat about windows?
- freedomben 3y agoEveryone tries the window at least once :-D Unless you are truly an expert spitter and the car is not moving, then spitting out the window is going to end up streaking the tobacco juice all across the exterior of the car. If the rear window is open, it might even go onto the back seat of the car. If you aren't moving then it will usually land somewhat vertically on the body of the car, or straight back (horizontally) if you're moving fast. It's always super tempting to try, but nearly impossible to pull off
- serf 3y agoit's not a great habit, but i've routinely witnessed people in sports cars crack the door open for additional clearance to manipulate their belts or adjust their seats, then quickly re-closing the door -- my point being that this kind of thing isn't absolutely exclusive to people chewing tobacco, and the car stomping the brakes or whatever is clearly under-thought.
