I don't litter, except if there's an enviro type around to cause a fit to.    ;)

I don't litter much, just cigarette butts, debit card receipts, cellophane cigarette pack wrappers, etc.  Most of the time I stuff everything but the butts into my pockets until I get home.

Everyone litters in my neighborhood, I'd be risking a fight 5 times a day if I got in people's faces about it.  Women eating wings and throwing the bones on the pavement as they walk down a busy street, men throwing entire soft drink and styrofoam fast food containers right in front of the bus as they get on, every schoolkid throwing potato chip bags and candy bar wrappers on the ground, whole plastic bags of household trash into the vacant lots....  It's just part of the scenery at this point.

I bitch loudly at litter that's on the ground, silently wish death upon those I catch doing it.

I'm a little OCD and have been known to walk around "straightening up" if I have nothing better to do. :blush:

I accidentally frowned when in New York when I watched this man drop a handful of crumpled up paper on the ground...about 10 feet from a trashcan. He turned to his wife and said "I'll fuck him up." :(

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

To be fair, in New York, simply making eye contact would be grounds for somebody to say "I'll fuck him up."

That depends. I certainly don't see Minsky making comments like that.

Not in Chelsea...although it isn't as friendly as Castro where making eye contact is grounds for somebody to say "I'll fuck you."

I was brought up not to litter. You'd get eaten by Wombles or something if you threw something on the floor. If there were no bins around (there's been very few in central London due to terrorists of one variety or another), you had to put the offending article, however icky, in your pocket.

In her latter stages of Alzheimers, my mum would pick up every bit of litter when out walking, which got pretty unhygienic.

You call that not much? :yeahright:

The cigarette butts are pretty disgusting. In Nova Scotia it was chewing gum. The pavement in front of stores etc had a nice pink, white and green latex coating.

I don't litter but don't make a point of yelling at others if they do.

It's interesting, on a personal level, to note how much that attitude has changed since the 1970's. I remember people basically littering left and right back than especially out car windows.

In Toronto, the local culture was very anti-littering. It may be changed now, but when I was growing up, it was simply assumed that you would hold on to garbage until you found a garbage can.

Even to this day, I have an instinctive hatred for littering.

In Vienna there's garbage bins at almost every corner, so there's no excuse for littering. :ultra:

Don't litter, leave others alone. 

But that's not always possible.  As my wife's policy seems to be "don't litter, but I'll stare at you and talk about it to ensure that everybody near the scene knows that it's you".
Does you wife look anything like the cigarette lady in Kung Fu Hustle?


She doesn't look like her, but sometimes she does act like her. 

Trouble is, I am not like the landlord at all

Don't litter in my country.... In Iraq... :whistle:

But seriously, this is what their streets look like, so if they didn't care why should I?
