Disgusting", "vile" and "doesn't get any lower than spitting" are among the comments posted about the video.
To some people, spitting is in a class above everything - even violence.
It's often seen as an action of anger and disrespect, but it hasn't always been the case.
In the past spitting was a socially acceptable habit in Europe, but by the 19th Century manners changed.
This coincided with greater awareness of the transmission of contagious diseases that could be spread by spitting, so public health campaigns were launched against it.
During the 1940s, when tuberculosis (TB) was widespread, it was common to see "spitting prohibited" signs on buses.

Health risks
Today the risk of catching a contagious disease if you're spat at is very low.
You do stand a small chance of catching a cold or possibly the flu.
Other diseases that are spread through saliva include TB, hepatitis, viral meningitis, cytomegalovirus - a common virus similar to the herpes virus - and the Epstein-Barr virus, which is a common herpes virus that causes many diseases such as glandular fever.
If you are in the unfortunate situation that you are spat at, the NHS recommends you should:
Immediately wash the saliva off with soap and lots of water
If the saliva goes into your eyes, nose or mouth wash it out with lots of cold water
If you think you're at risk of infection, get immediate medical advice
