Don't litter.  Silently judge all who do ^_^

Don't litter, leave others alone.

People who litter have no human dignity or self respect so why waste time on them?

I give people shit for littering, but generally only people I know.

I wreaked vengence one time on a Chinese delivery guy who tossed his cigarette pack.  If it had been a brother I would have gone the Shelf route.

I've got a murder boner

MURDER BONER!

I scream that sometimes when Paintballing.

Litterlouts should be strangled with a silken bowstring; so that, like the Ottomans, their ultimate demise is assured.

This is the British way.

Littering is men's god-given right to define the borders of his territory how he sees it fit.

I generally only litter biodegradable stuff with some exceptions. I feel less bad about littering in a shitty built up part of a town than the country and when drunk beer containers go anywhere.

:yes:

I don't litter but it's not worth saying anything to people you don't know.  The ghost of the Crying Indian will get them in their sleep.

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?

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." :(

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.

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:

The only thing worse is smoking within sub stations.

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?

Litter on that scale is a visible symbol of government failure. 

And a severe health hazard.

Yay government imposed fines have worked! :swiss:

I don't litter. I try not to hassle people who do, and occasionally even clean up after them.... I will sneer, and if caught sneering, will get into it with said litterer/asshole.

I tend to think one of the reasons I've turned off on a career in law enforcement, is that whenever I saw someone dump a cigarette butt out at a stoplight/highway offramp, I'd want to pull them over and go at them Rodney King-style.

It's really too bad you can't do that. You have to turn a bit of a blind eye and hope that kharma will supply a banana peel (littered obviously) for them to slip on at some point.

I think the crying Indian gets as much credit :P


Examining my habits more closely, I do 'litter' some things: gum (though I try not to drop it where someone would step), cigar butts (not really littering since I keep the label-- the rest is just natural leaf), and food (something'll eat it).

As late as the mid-80s, I remember commonly seeing people roll down their window & throw a whole McDonald's bag to the side of the road while driving at full speed.  Almost never see that these days.

I don't litter at all and get rather annoyed at driving behind smokers who ditch their cigarette butts out of the window rather than into their car's ashtray.

Flicking the odd cigarette butt out the window is really my last real vice that imposes on the General Public...

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."

My God, I knew I've been living in the wrong place.

Anyway, I don't really litter at all anymore per se.  I throw minor shit on school grounds, knowing I've paid already to have someone else clean it up.  I'll throw cigarette butts out the window, slyly, if it's absolutely necessary.
