Wondering? Where did that rant come from?

Thanks for posting this it made me chuckle

Where i work is a pre WW1 Fort that is a museum and heritage site. I do security there and have to clean up after the night security guards and the public in general who feel it is perfectly fine to just dump their butts right where they stand. The night security guards sit in their cars and dump their butts out their windows, so when i get there in the morning there is a huge pile of butts right wear their cars were parked.

I mean these people must be smoking a whole pack in one shift...and then the general public just leave the butts all over the place.

In fact i have been sick of seeing the streets and footpaths covered in these things for years, and the police are meant to be booking people for littering but it never happens....throwing your butts on the ground is the new jaywalking.

I simply don't see how hard it is to throw these things away properly. I mean the streets are not covered in Big Mac wrappers or coke cans, people recognize that those items are rubbish and should be treated as such...well mostly...so why not cigeratte butts?

Thats the point.

What the crap! This post was only meant for the blog on ImpulseDriven. Why o why do they have to posted across all of SD's boards...oh well rant be gone now!

Hah! Wow! I agree(but, I usually don't rant since many of my loved ones are smokers). It's true though. It is littering, but have you ever been around someone carrying a days worth of butts? Jesus Christ they stink the place up soooo fast!! Also I hate it when people put their butts in potted plants, especially mine. Or if you're at a rager, you'll find the litterbox has turned into an ashtray.

Pretty good rant, makes mr tink of Grind my Gears on FG. Except I agree so long as people don't stockpile their butts.

It's not a universal problem - I've seen quite a few Japanese tourists carrying around little personal asshtrays that they dump the ash and butts into and then empty next time they pass a dustbin.

Maybe your answer to the problem would work with alcohol abuse too? I'm sick of walking down the streets on a monday and seeing the results of a heavy weekend of drunk youths all over the sidewalk.

So we should try the same with them too eh? Lets make alcohol more addictive and increase the strength and maybe all alcoholics will die out in the next decade too! Hell it would reduce the strain on the hospitals as well.. Nice idea you have there, i wonder what else you can cure with that attitude..

Ahh candidate numero uno..thankyou.

Let me guess, you smoke? Well if you do and are one of the considerate few who dont just hurl their butts wherever they stand then you fall into the exceptions case that i mentioned...or did you not read that bit in your haste to be a smart arse?

I reckon there are quite a few things that i could achieve with my attitude, but if you are a smoker, i'm sorry i doubt you will be around to see them, or at the very least to busy lokking upon the world with your closed mind to notice.

Maybe if i change my name and avatar lots i can get away with being an ass????
