Let’s face it: kids can be downright disgusting. They leave boogers on walls, stick chewed-up gum onto whatever surface is available, and often skip brushing their teeth. They might even handle frogs and then munch on a sandwich without so much as a rinse. When we catch them in these revolting acts, we’re quick to step in and teach them the importance of hygiene, and over time, we manage to reduce the booger situation and ensure they actually use soap (without constant reminders).
However, it seems that some adults haven’t learned these crucial lessons. Is this a personal failing? A reflection of their upbringing? Why do some grown individuals still exhibit behaviors reminiscent of children who haven’t been taught any better?
Disgusting Behavior in Public Spaces
As a group fitness instructor, I’ve spent time in various gyms, and there’s one thing that unites them all: a sign above the water fountain that reads, “PLEASE DO NOT SPIT IN THE DRINKING FOUNTAIN.” It’s disheartening that such a notice is necessary. What’s even worse? That’s just the tip of the iceberg. In one gym where I taught, there was a tanning bed and a small wastebasket intended for used tissues or empty lotion bottles. Unfortunately, the management had to remove that basket because people were actually urinating in it. Yes, peeing. In a trash can. All this despite the fact that a bathroom with real toilets was just a few steps away.
Staff members at gyms (and any establishment with public restrooms) face unimaginable grossness daily. Unflushed toilets, unsightly splatters, and various forms of excrement are just part of the job. And trust me, it’s enough to make anyone gag.
Beyond Physical Spaces
If you think this is just an isolated issue, you’re mistaken. The lack of basic manners isn’t confined to just physical spaces. It extends into our everyday interactions.

Conclusion
In summary, while we can excuse the messy habits of kids as part of growing up, there’s simply no rationale for adults lacking basic manners. It’s time for everyone to step up and embrace better behavior, leaving behind the grossness that seems to plague some of us.
