I love my Indian coworkers

Hard working, conscientious and morally upstanding men and women all. However, I have one minor gripe.

Is it cultural thing with them swishing water from the bathroom sink around and spitting it out? Usually goes like this: They wash their hands, when they are done rinsing they slurp water from their palm, swish vigorously, then spit. They do this 5-10 times. The results are disgusting, including food bits in the sink. Just went to the restroom and there were four of them taking up all four sinks doing this.

I haven't noticed this before my current job. I don't remember witnessing this at my previous companies. Anyway, just wondered if anyone had any incite into this.

tl;dr

Also, your co-workers hate you.

Seems like you spend a lot of time observing the other men in the bathroom.

So camp was a failure?

Based on the number of relapses he had in camp, this isnt a shocker.

Sounds like they're practicing good hygiene by washing their mouths after eating, but they really should leave the sink clean afterwards.

It's also respectful. SD/LWS doesn't want to wash his feet in a sink sprinkled with bits of foot. Yuck.
