    That would've been funny. Maybe if the bosses weren't in, I could've done that.

    This type of stuff drives me up a wall. Littering of any sort is just ridiculous.
    Cigarette butts being flicked onto the ground or anywhere is something that is way out of control, as in the great numbers in which it happens. Millions if not billions of cigarette butts have, and are now as we speak not being disposed of properly, and that is probably within everyones own region.
    It is a fact that cigarette butts are the most littered item on earth.
    Globally the weight of all cigarette butts that are littering this Mother Earth is staggering.

    Most cigarette filters we all think are cotton are not cotton at all but rather a plastic fiber. It takes a cigarette butt just as long to degrade (as in degradable, biodegrade, photodegradable, photodecompsition) as other forms of plastic.

    Degradable: susceptible to chemical breakdown.

    Degrade: to break down a compound; to become degraded, weakened, deteriorate, to decompose.

    Biodegradable: capable of decaying through the action of living organisms.

    Photodegradable: capable of being broken down by light.

    Photodecomposition: The breaking down of molecules by radiant energy.

    You think that's gross? Listen to this nasty story:
    Today, some people parked in front of the restaurant where I work (parking for restaurant patrons only), got out of the car and spit his whole wad of chewing tobacco right in front of our building. Then he took a swig of water, swished it around and spit it out, and repeated the process! It was so disgusting!!! Then he and the lady he was with booked it in the other direction. They were seriously running. I went outside and yelled, "Are you planning on coming in for lunch???" They obviously weren't... just liked the easy parking spot. Anyway, the dirtball yelled back, "Yeah in about an hour..." I said, "oh, we'll be closed in an hour and this parking is for restaurant guests only..." So he moved. I wouldn't have made a big deal out of it if he hadn't spit right in front of the place.

    I chew like a maniac and that guy was out of line. if you're going to chew and you want to get rid of it, find a bush, a trash can, or an empty bottle. Or, go to the damn restroom and 86 it. People like him are going to screw it up for people like me. I enjoy dipping at ball games and if dudes just indiscriminately spit it out wherever, people are going to start hassling me. Next thing you know, I'll be freezing my ass off outside with the smokers.

    People just seem to litter a lot period....It drives me crazy when I see someone walking down the street holding a water bottle or soda can and they will just drop it. Don't litter my street fuckers....

    Exactly. I just hate all littering in general. There's absolutely no need for it.

    As for cigerettes out the car window, you can get fined smoking while driving now so it doesn't happen as much these days.

    Well it prevents more people from throwing stuff out the window and it's one less thing that may cause an accident.
    I knew someone that once tried to throw his cigerette out of the car window but unfortunately, the wind blew it staight back in and down the back of his pants. He nearly crashed the car. He had to quickly pull over, get out of the car and pull his pants down to get it out.

    Smoking stinks, the banning in public places is way too late coming in, yet still very welcome. And littering with your dog ends is just a complete disregard of any responsibility you may have.
    Get over it smokers, you're a dying breed ;)
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....
