Our submitter, Amanda, occasionally skates at an ice arena where an NHL and several college hockey teams practice. As a result, she says, “it smells like sweaty feet all of the time” — and apparently, most visible surfaces are also covered with spit.
Adds Amanda: “My favorite parts of this note are a) the awesome word art, and b) the idea that they have to stop spitting on the walls only because of recent health concerns.”

But spitting on the ceiling is still okay? Just want to clarify.

This is one of the ugliest looking notes on this site in a while.

How nasty could a spitter’s output really be to generate ‘health concern’?

PS. Spitting on other people is perfectly acceptable.

Not that spitting in general isn’t gross, but what’s their excuse? Now I’m no expert, but I would have to guess that you play ice hockey on the ice, i.e. there is no dirt to get in your mouth. Are they pretending to be baseball players? Is this a territorial thing? If so, why is there no mention of urine?

If one is going to spit, isn’t a “waste receptacle” a perfect place to do so?

I’m kind of disappointed that there isn’t some inappropriately cutesy clip art of like, a guy spitting or a doctor in scrubs or some shit like that. But it seems that using clip art in your PA signs really isn’t in vogue anymore. *sigh* I MISS THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF OVER THE TOP SIGN MAKING, DAMMIT.

I used to wonder why signs asking people not to spit all over the place existed, too, until I lived in New York City and found out that there are places where people spit like mad.
