Can I go to Jail for spitting?

When I'm shopping in a grocery store in SW FL and the senior citizens don't move- I want to spit at them.

When my husband is chewing his food so loud and disgusting I want to look up across the table-and spit at him.

When I'm at his family's house and his sisters piss me off- I want to spit at them.

When I see my oldest sister who can't stand her face or her-I want to just spit at her.

I think about this alot,can I go to jail or just get my ass kicked or both:)

ha ha - spitting by itself wouldn't land you in jail - maybe if you hit him or something after spitting...However, go to dumblaws.com just to see if any state still has spitting on the books, as being against the law! :)

I think it's a form of assault. Probably the third degree, the smallest degree. I don't recommend spitting at anyone. Just learn to be honest about your feelings. It's kind of barbaric too. You need to find some type of peace in your life.

I think spitting at pp in a public space at someone could wind you up in a big mess. All the other hings you could just be sueed or ostrazized.

My brother threw the contents of a glass of H2o at his roommate and the cops called it assault. This was in CA so don't know the law in FL but maybe the same. You need a sign saying watch out Linda Blair moment in 2 seconds (the puke episode in Exorcist).

I wouldn't really do it but the thought is just so great. Maybe because I can't verbalize my disgust with people.

Well, they may be right after all...I stand corrected. Not to mention with the disease scare around, that could be considered Intent to Kill! Oooohhh..

Now, thinking as an attorney, there might be a civil complaint due to causing post traumatic stress disorder directly caused by the fact that your unknown bodily fluid come in contact with their being and could have caused infectious diseases from your person. LOL

Wow! This is alot more serious than I thought. I was really just enjoying the mental image. As far as his sisters go they have been terribly abusive and need a good hocker in the face:) The rest is just a dream.

in my state, spitting on someone is a legal offense. i read a newspaper article about an arrest of a man for doing it. here it was assault with biological matter (or something of the sort). it's crazy that it exists, but it has to.

don't do it. you will get arrested if they call the cops. that said, spitting in someone's face is a historically a huge insult, and yes, i have done it before.

YES I THINK THEY CONSIDER IT ASSAULT TO SPIT ON OR THROW ANYTHING AT SOMEONE.

In NY it is assault, so yes technically you could. It would be more of a misdemeanor though and you would get off easy.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
