Why do people, whether young or old, kids too, throw their trash (candy wrappers, coffee cups, paper bags on the ground, when there is a trash bin, barrel or whatever to put it in. I have spotted empty paper coffee cups placed under the hanging trash receptacle, instead of in put in it.
Is it laziness? Is it stupidity? Or is it that they don’t give a shit, thinking/knowing someone else will pick it up and put it where it belongs.
Shit like that really irks the hell out of me.

I feel very strongly about this too and it is us who need to educate the young early otherwise we never conquer this problem.

Hey Donny, I totally agree.
It’s pure laziness and there’s no need for it. Will it stop them? Nup! Because sadly there will always be people like that in this world. Aussie hugs, Paula xxx

So many times I want to let people know they have dropped something but then I worry about getting a fat lip . . .

Me too. The way some people are today, if you say something, they might end up showing a gun, or a knife.

It is a combination of not giving a shit, laziness, and sheer stupidity. I just got back from a backpacking trip and I can not tell you how badly I fume when I see that people, fellow backpackers at that who KNOW better, who don’t adhere to the “pack it out” rule. EVERY single trip we end up packing out other hiker’s trash and have done so so often that we pack in extra trash bags for that purpose. SO infuriating!!!
