To Hell in a Handbasket

Alternate titles:

How to destroy your planet in just a few generations.
Lazy people burying the World in Trash.
WTF people!
Tourists need a good swift kick in the ass!

And I could go on for a while dictating thoughts that have been spinning in my head during my recent daily commutes. They all seem interconnected, so I thought I'd just spin them all together.

Nothing irritates me quicker than people on public transport dropping trash in the bus, or trying to slyly drop it behind them as they disembark. HELLO! In 9 out of 10 locations, they do this within 5 FEET of a city garbage receptical. Come on, are people REALLY that lazy?!! That is a rhetorical question of course, yes they are. Our society is built around laziness and convenience. Would it kill people to pocket a candy wrapper until they walked by a garbage can?! This is rhetorical too, and the answer is apparently "yes". It is this laziness and, of course, greed and a lack of forethought that will doom our planet to an early demise.

Ug, and tourists are the WORST! Hey, just because it's not your city or country doesn't give you the right to be idiots...or messy!

Oh, and am I going to pick up that wrapper the guy ahead of me dropped?! Hell no. I'm lazy too.
