So this morning, as I was innocently waiting for the bus, I saw something that appalled me. Several highschool-aged kids get on the bus at my stop. Many times, they go to the McDonald's that is right next to the stop before boarding. This morning, I watched as one of them took the breakfast sandwich he had just purchased out of its bag and let it drop to the ground. I thought he would realize what had happened at some point, but then I saw him look down and kick the bag! He then finished his sandwich and threw the wrapper on the ground. Then he finished his drink and did the same! I was SO mad! Who do people think they are?! Like I want to see their crappy wrappers from their crappy food all over the place? And like someone else should just pick it up for them? Would you like me to come to your house and scoop my cats' poo on your bed? Cause I could do that!I was clearly giving him the stink eye, and he saw me. He meekly bent down and picked up his trash. He then threw it in the trash can that was 5 feet away. I wanted to strangle him. I don't know how I stopped myself.

I just HAPPENED* to be looking out my window at work which looks out on the Cherry Creek greenbelt. And where a bunch of vagabonds typically hang out. As I watched one of them approach the area, I saw him throw down a cup and walk on. Just right there, on the ground. I wanted to cry. I almost went out and yelled at him. But what could I say?
I do remember a friend in college who would pick up whatever a person had thrown down and give it back to them saying, "Sir! You dropped this! *huge smile*" which I think is pretty funny.
As for those punks, at least he figured out "oh, I just remembered I am part of society and can't do whatever I feel like because it might affect others". Good for you for working the ol' stink eye!
*I look out of my window all the time.
