Litter Bug Season

R.a.n.t. of week 06/21/15

Yes, it's that time again. The sun is out and people are returning to the outdoors. Unfortunately, it also means they are brining their trash. And where does the trash go? Well, if you look at the security still from our office camera, you'll notice it doesn't go in the trash bin ten feet away. No, that would be too difficult and require a minimum of patience and integrity. Better just throw the trash on the ground, as this dude did when discarding his trash.

There are times I see garbage laying around and I think to myself, 'how did they not notice their garbage get away from them?' Or 'why did they not pick it up'? But I guess I've been giving people too much credit. Until I happened to notice this scene on our security camera at work. Not more than ten feet away from garbage bins, he lets his refuse drop to the ground. I'm sorry, I'm just having trouble trying to process this. Can anyone explain this to me? How can someone be so thoughtless and nonchalant. Have people no pride? If not pride in their neighbourhood, pride in themselves?
