Made me MAAADDD.

Walking back from Tesco this morning and some suit is walking towards me by the railway bridge and throws an empty plastic bottle and a wrapper in the bush. I stop in my tracks as this honestly shocks me and I just glare at this guy. He glares back and says arrogantly "What's your f*cking problem?".

Now, I am a placid man 99.9% of the time but if I hadn't just had a back op I probably would have picked up his litter and beaten him with it. Instead I opted for telling him a grown man should know better and some other expletives not worthy of typing. I also couldn't retrieve his litter as it had fallen down a hill by a railway bridge which also really annoyed me.

Dan, nice to hear somebody else has the same opinion as me regarding this issue, the trouble is we are in the minority.

Yes, I hate that as well.

This just seems to be a common thing these days unfortunatly. What really gets me though is when they throw litter on the ground and there's a bin only a couple of feet away

I feel your frustration!

I do a litter pick round my way from time to time.

Yep, I am not kidding the moron walked past at least two bins on his route before chucking them on the floor.

Perhaps not the minority, but sometimes what's the point in even telling people? You get abuse thrown back at you or maybe worse? Of course they know better, but they also know that hardly anybody will say anything about it for fear of reprisals!

Few months ago I had a young lad for works experience for a week.
One Friday lunch time my staff decided to get down the road and treat them self s on a nice healthy :cupcake: MacDonalds.
And the conversation come up about Sundays morning mounting of rubbish left on the floor by the night,s before " Taunton's drift alla chav's " in MacDonald car park.
The young lads answer shocked me!!!! Well he said, if we don't have to come out of our car to get the food, then why we should get out to throw it in the bin!
Kids this days ha?

Well done to you Dan for saying something. Always tricky this days. Lot's of nutters out there!

I don't understand how people can just litter like it... The worst is when people throw litter out of car windows, I mean it's not even a burden to leave in the car until you find a bin... Make a comment on it around these parts and you'll probably get stabbed...

A while ago I saw an elderly couple in our town drop some litter out of their car window so I picked it up and passed it back to them through the open window with the comment "I think you have dropped this", as I walked past them again a few minutes later (in the opposite direction) there was their litter again. So I picked it up and threw it into the car for them.

One of the biggest problems I've seen is that where there are bins they are usually full to over-flowing because they rarely get emptied. And if the streets were cleaned by the council more often I think less people (i.e. the not so arrogant) would be less inclined to add to the mess.

It really shows you what people think about where they live, most people don't want to live like pigs but there's a few that seem determined to have a go.

Good on you Dan for even commenting...

I wish we focused more on anti-social behaviour like this than the many other things that seem to grab the attention of the authorities!

[Spanner]

I seem to remember being in Germany for a while, being told that homeowners are responsible for the area outside of their properties, if there is any litter outside the house/pavement/road etc they get a fine.

Germany is possibly the tidiest place I have ever been to!

Dog shit is my biggest gripe, i have a dog yet i still manage to pick up his shit and im in a wheel chair. Ppl are just lazy %#&&@@%

[kaymassive]
