| I had a dumb debate about this yesterday with someone who was vehement that spitting your chewing gum on the sidewalk isn't littering… It's not because it seems harmless and a lot of people do it that it isn't littering anymore! Even more, chewing gum is synthetic and won't decompose… Just freaking swallow it! Anyway… Have any of you littered in the past? You can be honest, I most probably won't be mad. |
| when everyone else already made your city a garbage dump it's hard to have a conscience about throwing something of your own on the ground it amounts to a drop in the ocean |
| Maybe as a dumb dumb retarded child but I generally hate littering and litterers. Not for any moral reason per se but I hate filth. |

| I honestly don't remember ever littering in my lifetime. I always just throw the trash where they belong. 🗑️ Littering means discarding waste onto the ground in public spaces rather than throwing them into the expected trash containers. Spitting one's gum on the sidewalk does match with the definition of littering, so yep, you are right about that. fleurbleue said: Just freaking swallow it! I'm not a gum guy myself, but if I were to chew gum, I would definitely dispose of it in the trash instead. |
| No, I don't. In many cases when there's no trashcan at sidewalk which often happens I walk with my burnt cigarette filter in hand/pocket till I find one. |
| Depends on the type of waste, if it's biodegradable then many times, otherwise I guess not. |
| Rarely I do, but I have done. Usually it's at indoor wrestling shows where this happens where everyone just leaves their stuff on the floor or under seats when fans leave, and there's not many bins around. I have deliberately left litter sometimes, although I do sometimes carry it with me in my backpack, it's just whether or not I have room in it. I'm much less likely to litter outside, although I think some things have dropped from me or my bag as I was traveling along, but I didn't knowingly mean to drop those. |

My elementary school teacher once told me that swallowed gums get stuck in your digestive tract, so judging by her very accurate hypothesis, your body is full of old gums from all the way back when Clinton was president.

| I hate people who litter with a passion, if you live in a first would country you have no reason to throw your trash on the ground, there will either be a trash can you can put your stuff in or carry around a bag with you until you get home. It is unbecoming of you as a human being to make this world an uglier place. Going on hiking/camping trips and seeing trash on the ground radicalized me and I've never looked back. Chewing gum on the sidewalk isn't as bad as other forms of littering but you still shouldn't do it. You could even consider it even worse since it's harder to dispose of. LoveYourSmile said: Not littering tends to help the environment even more. Besides littering in Japan is more rare than in countries with trash cans everywhere so blaming their society for your actions is pretty cringe.Unironically, the places I littered the most were jp and sk. The fuckers somehow think lack of trash bins helps the environment. deg said: I know everyone makes fun of San Francisco for having a poop map but I wonder what that would look like for a third world country's city.i live in a poor country so yes its the norm here heck we piss on sidewalks when no one is looking |

| I have accidently left things behind and couldn't go back to collect them which technically counts as littering in someones eyes. Other than that I try to always find a bin, otherwise I just put the rubbish in my pocket. |
| Of course I have, I try not to do it as often as I can though, but sometimes I just be forgetting aka I'm too wasted to give a fuck. |

When you say that someone is out of your league, you are essentially telling to all your loved ones, be it past, present, or future, that you were/are only with them because they were/are in your league and that's all you could afford... and vice versa!

Oh right, I almost forgot - the national kink of having an entire lush emerald island with crystal beaches and whispering pine forests, yet insisting everyone huddle in a 20 sqm concrete cube that smells like a wet ashtray, walls plastered with old posters of... kawaii things. Anyway, it's not like I'm a serial litterer, or even smoke that much. Besides, every honorable European knows the ancient ritual: you squat behind the corner in akiba, finish your cig, drop it into your empty beer can, and then deposit the whole thing back into the Lawson. Must respect the culture! But yes, you are right - true honor demands a pilgrimage to those establishments where almond-eyed ladies ignite your marlboro with ceremonial grace, and provide other educational services to foreigners. That kind of smoke salons still kinda stand in my book, I just happen to prefer outdoor activities most of the time. Such a silly boy, haha. |
