Title: McDonalds - Litter Louts
Post by: JuanitaBanana on September 12, 2013, 17:16:51 PM
Why do some people behave like Animals. Every week on the road around the Golf Course, just up from McDonalds, somebody gets a takeaway, parks up, eats it, the just throws all the rubbish out of car window.

If they're not taking it home, why not just eat it inside. It really P****** me off.

It's the same in the UK, I went up to Asda to fill up the car and not 200yds from the MacDonalds was a big paper bag of theirs at the side of the road.

We live on a main road and regularly get them on the pavement or even in our front garden.   >:(

I'm tempted to say it's a British thing, but maybe it isn't. I can't believe the rubbish which Spanish families leave on the beach at the weekend!

When in a new town etc, you know where the local McD is by following the trail of litter.

I hate that as well and we have two not too far away from our village and the back roads are covered in the bloody bags and cups

People do not care any more. If I see any litter on the ground I pick it up and put it in a bin thats what my Dad did and what I make my kids do. But they are standards that are in decline. You would not  see many over 60 year olds in the UK chuck litter about they are likely to pick it up. Now people dont care, just take a look at the size of people walking around they dont even care about how massive they are just happy to eat them selves to death. Welcome to the modern world were personal standards for many dont exist..

I picked up a razor-sharp crown bottle top from a Corralejo beach just yesterday. Less than 5 steps to a council-provided beach bin but they preferred to drop it for some kid or adult to step on with bare feet.

Unfortunately, I was probably risking a fine as here you aren't actually allowed to put rubbish in the bins provided before 9pm or after 5am.  ??? >:(
