pet peeve no. 3482: littering
people, please... how difficult is it to hold onto your trash until you pass a proper recepticle? the subway floor is not a proper recepticle. and if you're going to immediately toss the flier onto the sidewalk, don't take it in the first place.
i'm not an environmentalist. when it comes to politics, those issues are on the bottom of my list. but it's just completely inconsiderate to litter and it annoys me.
on the way to the office this morning, i saw a woman and her 7-year-old-ish daughter waiting to cross the street. they wore similar (faux) fur-lined coats and held matching umbrellas. i quickly crossed the street, but caught a glimpse of the mother dropping a half-crumpled solicitation flier and the daughter's head following its path into the gutter. neither of them said anything. it made me wonder if, at that exact moment, the little girl learned that it was okay to litter. it made me a little sad.
but now i'm at work... and that makes me sadder.
hahah.
