Why do people discard their gum near the front door?
While living in NYC it's hard not to notice the constellations of darken gum blots on sidewalks. By looking closely one can begin to understand that the concentration of gum patches occurs near the edges of buildings and the door entrances.
Do people find the edge of buildings more comfortable to throw their gum at? Or are the standing there and drop it? What about at the front doors, do bad breath weary folks discard old gum in coming or going? Is this a new age of urban gum trays since the demise of the ashtray?
