Littering

[Chippie]

What is wrong with the youth of today, I just witnessed a young chap, a passenger in a car collecting their order from the drive though window at McDonalds, wind his window down and launch an empty can out of the car and into the shrubs at the side, do these people even give any thought to what they are doing? This type of behaviour really boils my p!ss. I wonder what happens to the take away when they are finished, probably just opens the door and drop it on the car park floor.

Chavvy bar stewards

What about the dog owners who carefully pick the turds up in a poly bag, then chuck the bag in the bushes?!
In that case it's better to do the old 'stick and flick'. At least it'll degrade that way.

Well just to countermand your worries. We were in the middle of Dartmoor earlier today walking. Some one in the group dropped a wrapper by mistake, which the wind promptly carried away. No less than three people immediately set off in pursuit and captured it.

I remember as a youth walking for what seemed like miles with Black Jack sweet papers in my pocket until I found a bin to put them in
Do they still make Black Jacks? And if so did they have to change the name to be socially acceptable?

I remember in the 1960's young people throwing litter out of cars, they are probably in their sixties or seventies now and complaining about young chaps doing similar. Teenagers eh! who'd have 'em.

I was turning right once in my MG Midget at a crossroads and suddenly some orange peel landed in my lap. Someone must have thrown it out their car window going past.

The kids that do that, are taught that it's okay to do it by their parents, who were most likely taught by their parents and on it goes. Take fly tipping, that's not done by teenagers is it, but it is exactly the same mind set.

It's not just the youth of today who litter, every generation does it.
You only have to look at motorway sliproads and the amount of garbage that is thrown from vehicles as they are slowing down after a motorway journey that it's not just youths and its not just recently either. I think I have heard truck drivers are a main culprit but don't quote me on that.
Part of my job years ago was litter picking and I can't stand the lazy bastards who can't wait and put stuff in a bin.

Used to really annoy me on my old works multi storey car park the lower levels of which were for the public. I used to come onto car park at 6.30am each morning and you would see dotted about the empty bays left over Macdonalds, fish and chips, take aways etc where people have opened their car door and just left the remnants. I did recommend to the Local Council to put bins on each floor level but they said the floors are cleaned each day regardless.

People of just filthy pigs at times, mentality is people don't care as they know it will get cleaned up after them.

Place I used to walk my dog, groups of youngsters sat around drinking in the evenings and leaving their rubbish behind. On one morning walk a group of kids were throwing stones at the bottles, breaking them. I told them small kids and dogs walk here, they stopped. Amazing the reaction you get with German Shepard next to you.

This is what I regularly get either in front or over my fence. Catching them makes no difference even when I have their plate so the council seems to think.
