called in at mcdonalds for a burger car park was quite full, but what is it with people , there are bins everywhere , but why do they just dump the rubbish out the window and drive off, to lazy to get out and put it in the bin

 

I know I really hate that too, does it not bug you too when people eat in at McD's and when they've finished they just leave their tray and rubbish on the table.

Especially when it's busy, so you have to clear it just so you can sit down!!:rolleyes:

 

Is that not what McDonalds staff are paid for? to clear up. :hide:

 

Seriously though in my youth I used to do that even when driving I would sling an empty bottle from the window, now as I have learned to appreciate things it really winds me up to see this.

This is a really big pet hate of mine! I cant stand seeing people throwin litter etc & my nephew who's 11 was in my car & as we were going down the road he chucked a wrapper out of my window! So I pulled over made him get out pick it up & wait till we found a bin he could put it in! May sound harse to some but lest it tought him a lesson. So now he knows what to do!

It really upsets me too, and I'm not so sure if I did do it when I was a kid :shrug: I did enough bad things, but I dunno about littering, or spitting.

 

Anyway, it is illegal, so we can only hope some London based company introduces automatic litter-dropping detection cameras or something and starts fining the dirty bastards.

There's a blacksmith in a little hamlet near me, an old fellow, rather stocky, and with a temper like the steel he works. Last summer 2 middle aged people pulled their car over onto the verge outside his shop, clearly marked private, no parking, and were eating fish and chips, and having a natter. As he worked he saw them throw their two lots of half eaten fish and chips out of the window, onto his forecourt. The car was convertible Mercedes, almost new, pristine and shining. They remained idly there, passing the day in the sun. He didn't, he marched out, picked up the mess, was especially pleased to see that they had partaken of that peculiarly British, and disgusting trait of having curry sauce on their feast, and slowly tipped the lot over the back seat of the car. No words were apparently uttered, the car was immediately driven at speed into the wild blue yonder. Nothing more was ever heard from the car occupants. I love that tale, and once asked him what he'd have done if they'd got stroppy. Regretted being such a hot head, was his honest reply, but I truly rate him for his actions :)

Great story!!

 

Unfortunately certain standards may be worth a fortune in the future if you could buy them. Things like honesty, consideration, good manners are all diappearing fast!!:( It's not just the kids but people who you would expect to know better. Worrying to say the least as the next generation will be set an example!!

I almost did the same as that blacksmith a few years ago. Only the incident occured while in a scary estate in Hackney, and the perpetrator in question was a mean looking black guy in a battered nissan bluebird.

Needless to say I thought the better of throwing his half eaten burger back into his car.
