    I have been fortunate enough to encounter *v* very few times in public places, but this weekend was somewhat different.

    Hubby and I were walking out of Wal-Mart behind a man who initially appeared to be spitting. As I observed a little closer, more than just saliva seemed to be coming out of him, although it was clear. I'm assuming he was *v*. The funny thing is, he just kept on walking the entire time while continuing to *v* along the way. He finally stopped at the place where you return your shopping cart, but he just leaned over and I don't think he *v* anymore. He was right near our car, too, and I was really getting nervous. I told hubby to just stop walking and we stood where we were for a while until the man got to his car.

    Anyway, it was just nasty. I'm amazed at the stuff you see at Wal-Mart.

    Jess-you never know what you are going to see at Wal-Mart. It still amazes me that people will got to work/school/and ever Wally World when they are sick with v* What I dont get is why this man didnt go to the bathroom. People never cease to amaze me. I hate that you had to witness that though.

    Sorry you had to witness that, Jess! How disgusting! How could he just keep walking whilst doing it? Ugh, people are so weird!


    Being in Australia, I don't know much about Wal-Mart,but from all the v* stories I've heard about it, it's shaping up in my mind to be a pretty scary place, lol!


    Hope you can erase it from your mind, it certainly sounds nasty.

    Hey guys

    My emet got really bad after a bad experiece at future shop. It was really busy becuz it was boxing day and people were just crowded so close together and this one guy went walking by me and v* right next to me on the floor but some got on me and other people around. The guy just looked at us and left!!!! Why would anyone go shopping on boxing day when they are sick? I don't understand it! Anyway now I am paranoid of being in stores.

    Sometimes people don't know that they are sick when they go out like that. That's what is so scary about v*, you don't know when it could happen. That person at walmart might have been feeling fine until the point where he got sick. Or maybe, it was something that happens alot to him, like if he's on certain medication where that might be one of the nasty side effects, in which case, he wouldn't be contagious. Either way, it was an upleasant experience for you, but, think about the poor man, he was the one who actually did it. [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

    I guess people see *v* at Wal-Mart so much because it is such a big store. I live in a small town, so Wal-Mart is the "big thing" around here. Everybody goes to Wal-Mart! Friday and Saturday night are the worst times to go. I think every pre-teen in our county hangs out at Wal-Mart on Friday and Saturday night! And, you see all kinds of people there--nice looking ones and not-so-nice looking ones too! Basically, you can buy lots of stuff there CHEAP, and that is why so many people go. So, I guess it is like anything else--the more people you have, the more *v* you are going to see!
