Bastards

[Ramy48]

To be pissed off with idiots that drop their litter. Well I happened to be using public transport yesterday and some scumbag decided to clear out his bag on the seat next to me. The empty crisps packet, sweetie packets, receipts, old bits of paper.

Another one got on with her disgusting smelly chips and managed to scatter them all over the floor. Did she bother to pick her shyte up? Oh no, we'll just get off next stop so leave it there.

There was a half eaten apple under one seat, I was so sick I thought I was going to spew right there. I'm sorry I just can't understand why people do this to the planet.

In Japan on holiday two years ago , my DH, who likes to go for a run early in the morning, took to counting the amount of litter he saw on his route.. Total tally after 1 week - less than five items. And I saw a besuited 'office lady' walking along the pavement suddenly dart into the middle of the (fairly quiet) road to pick up a cigarette butt. Different mindset there. when we arrived back at Heathrow everywhere looked absolutely filthy

CadleCrap don't your council offer a collection service for large items going to the tip? Here it's £18 for up to six items, which sounds like less than it would have cost you and your FIL in petrol etc.

I find littering and fly tipping very depressing. People are always dumping sofas, TVs and other furniture next to the bins on our street and the council must be fed up of me putting reports and photos on fixmystreet.com. They collect it and at my request spray a warning notice onto the pavement, which works for a little while. My 4yo DS always says "Mummy they have dumped rubbish there, that's very naughty!" so the message is getting through to him.

A lot of the dumped stuff is in a decent condition and there are plenty of local charities that would come and collect it. The fact that these people can't even be arsed to make a phone call and would rather leave the pavements blocked with their offcasts for days makes me .

I teach in a secondary school and pupil attitudes are shocking.

"It's the cleaners JOB to clean up after me" as a child sweeps their pencil shavings off the desk onto the floor.

"gives someone a job"

It irritates the hell out of me. But their attitudes are handed down from their morally thoughtless parents.

They are hardly bastards

Hex, I work in primary and we have seen similar attitudes from 9/10/11 yr olds!

They get short shrift from me if they don't clear up after themselves.

Fucker had swerved to hit a grey squirrel.

MaryBerrysLostCherry, I had to read that a few times before it sunk in that he was aiming to hit the squirrel, not avoiding it. Wtf?!

My dp accidentally ran a squirrel over about ten years ago and still feels bad about!

But yes litter droppers do piss me off. I haven't seen anyone do it recently though. Maybe I'm not observant enough.

YANBU, Oh this give me the rage too, we are lucky to have some remote and beautiful country side and beaches, I have lost count of the times I have picked broken bottles or pieces of glass out of the sand, from a night before beach party, no thought that that beach will be full of kids the next day!
Also going on at least a 5 mile walk to the middle of nowhere to find discarded picnic remnants, they took it there full, why not take the now feather light rubbish with you! just fucking lazy and thoughtless arse holes.
