Littering
Yet another thing I have ZERO patience for. For the life of me, I can't fathom being done with my can of soda, napkin, bag of chips, straw, bag of candy, food menu, and on and on and on, and just THROWING IT ON THE GROUND. Who ARE these people? Who RAISED them? I find it so incredibly offensive. I'm like Bette Midler -- she being, for those not in the know, a true leader in cleaning up New York City parks. She seriously deserves an incredible amount of admiration for her efforts and concern. *Casual aside for SIMPSONS lovers: "DAMN you, Midleerrrrrrrrrr!"*
What sparked today's rage was seemingly an entire newspaper blown across the sidewalk a couple houses down from me. I spied this mess from my living room window. Now you KNOW it was there for hours...as a slew of commuters walked right by and over it. I was all set to go out myself and clean it up...until I saw the town street sweeper man picking it up. Now that IS his job...and perhaps he wouldn't HAVE a job if people behaved properly...but I felt awful that he had to waste his time cleaning a bunch of wind-strewn papers up, when DOZENS of people before him could have done the same thing. There were THREE houses these papers were in front of...NOT ONE resident cared enough about their property to do something about it? Disgusting.
A few months ago, Letterman went outside his studio to pick up garbage people were passing by...I believe I blogged about it. Yet another area where I feel completely One With Dave. Taking this issue one infuriating step further, i've often spied my landlords...are you ready?...picking up garbage on the sidewalk and THROWING IT INTO THE STREET!?!?!?!?! Every time, i've wanted to hurl myself out of the third floor window onto them, screaming with rage. They EXPECT the menial street cleaner man to just pick it up...when they could easily put it in the garbage themselves. Insulting! People who clean for us in any way should NOT have to contend with ANY unreasonably extra amount of filth. It is MYSTIFYING in its stupidity and lack of respect. People, give a damn about your surroundings! Why should YOU when no one else seems to care? Why NOT you?! Step up to the plate and assume some responsibility! We're each capable of so much if we just exert some effort. Show some pride in your property, neighborhood, country, WORLD! Find a garbage can AND PUT YOUR SHIT IN IT!!!!!
