Litter louts.

[Wacky Racer]

Walking to work this morning a white "chavmobile" drove past at speed, (60 in a 30) the window opened and an empty can of red bull was casually tossed out on to the pavement, a few metres in front of me.

Then the car casually turned left into the local retail park a bit further on, speakers blaring some st music.

By the time I had walked up to the car park, the yob had gone inside one of the stores, and as there were several similar white cars parked up, I couldn't be 100% sure which was the "offending" car.

I intended to go back, crush the can and wedge it under his windscreen wiper.

I guess most of us (not me...) have been guilty of disposing of small items, cig ends, chewing gum, sweet wrappers etc,...but what shocked me was how blatant this was.

If you are reading this..... you are a tt.

It does seem the chav way to sit in macdonalds car park revving the nuts off of their 1.2L limited edition corsa then on the drive home, eject the macdonalds packaging and cups out of the window.

The majority of young people who come in my takeaway shop for chips discard the paper wrapping as soon as they leave the shop. They simply drop it on the ground as if that's perfectly normal.

We have taken to asking them if they want the food wrapped, just to lessen the mess outside the shop. Most of out customers are going to take their meals home, so we can't always be sure what to do, but you can bet with anyone under the age of 25 it's going to be "street food".

I wonder sometimes what the floor of their parents' house looks like.

I simply despise litterers, it shows a utter lack or respect for anyone/anything and instantly marks out someone as a complete waste of space and oxygen. If I came to power the punishment for littering would be instant execution by firing squad and the remains to be used as plant fertiliser. I see no downside, those with any intelligence at all would learn fairly swiftly and those without would be removed from the gene pool, win/win really.

That is amusing, although I thought my laptop had crashed from the racket coming out of the speakers! Would have been interesting to hear what was said though. Is it just me that things that she is living on borrowed time? Easily recognisable bike. She is going to do that to a nutter who will just run her over, or get caught at some lights and punched, or her bike will get trashed.

I really don't understand the mentality of litter louts though. Poor upbringing I assume.

There is a whole class of scum that do this, they are easy to identify via the trail of st food wrappings, thing is they will have nice things like Ihpones, clothes, big tellies and cars but like living in a st hole.

My kids have been told that if I catch them they will be in deep st and I will be very very disappointed, their bedrooms are generally dungheaps but I am fairly certain they wouldn't drop litter.

trouble is, the litterers will win as generally they react badly with the threat of violence if anyone says anything, I have had a kid of about 16/17 square up to me when I had a go about a can he launched on the floor, got right in my face, not sure where that offering yourself for potential violence comes from, I was contemplating reacting but he backed off when I said "I would think about that if I were you", not sure why a kid thinks he can challenge a 16 stone grown man who politely suggested putting his can in the bin, and that is in a nice area.

This !.... Very much so.

I got into a big argument with a lady in her 40's over dropping litter. It's so depressing that people take no responsibility these days, it's always someone else's problem. I hate this attitude but it seems to be growing.

[Jasandjules]

I'd happily have them flogged in the town square on a Saturday morning. Just scum who have no respect for anything else.

A few years ago I dated a nice girl with three kids. Decent person but her car was a sea of crisp wrappers, sweet wrappers, discarded drinks bottles etc.

I could never get my head round a child thinking it was ok to sit in the back of parent's car, eat a bag of crisps then just drop the empty bag on the floor. I can't even begin to imagine my parents reaction if I'd done that as a child. No doubt those kids had a similar attitude when out on the street.

A major reason why that relationship never lasted to be honest.

Fake surely?

[Funkycoldribena]

I've said it before but it amazes me that we have cameras for going 5 miles over the speed limit or overstaying 5 mins in a carpark yet you can chuck rubbish out with literally no punishment.

Most of the time there's a bin right next to where they're parked!

A while ago when I was renting used to get visitors (pair of chavs) on a regular basis who would park in our private spaces and dump the remains of their chicken meal before driving off. I actually watched them lower the windows at the same time and casually drop their rubbish either side - like a socially-irresponsible version of Starsky and Hutch. Same car (I think) took my reserved space when I came back late one evening. At this point I won't elaborate what happened but it was raining hard and I got soaked from the longer than usual walk ..

It isn't just chavs. Last weekend three members of the clergy left empty coffee cups on the platform of Cheltenham station. But they did come across as being too good for the rest of society. Proper 'ends.

I think you need to elaborate

[JuniorD]

I would gas litter droppers.

But when I was a kid, we often went on picnics as a family and any food which I didn't like, I'd hide under the car. When we drove off you could look out the back window to see a pile of crusts being devoured by birds.

me neither, can't make head nor tail of what happened next !

Those (laughing gas?) canisters seem to be everywhere...

I've had a few incidents over the last few years. The first was when following an oldish people carrier about 100 yards in front. I noticed a pudding cup bounce in the road next to the people carrier. Whilst I was wondering wether it had been kicked up by the car's wheel or been thrown from the car another one came out of the window. Five hundred yards later I had caught them up and also witnessed a third pudding cup thrown from the car. As the people carrier was turning right at the T junction and I was turning left I was able to pull alongside. The car contained a tracksuit wearing woman in her thirties and three children under 10. The windows were all down and I decided to say "oy, don't be a litter lout" at no time did I swear. I was the subjected to the foulest abuse, including being called a fking by the female driver. So I told her the kids will obviously grow up to become scum with her as a mother.

The second was sat on the Picadilly line on my way to a Chelsea game with my father. A girl about 20 was sat with her boyfriend opposite (the seats are arranged in two rows facing each other along the length of the carriage). When she finished her 500ml bottle of Ribena she calmly put it behind her on the window ledge. I noticed she had a large hand bag at her feet so admired it and remarked on its size. When she smiled and thanked me. I asked her if she would be so kind as to pick up the bottle, place it in her bag and put it in a bin when she got to her destination (she wasn't a Chelsea fan and wasn't going to the game). She picked it up, put it in her bag and guiltily thanked me.

The third was sat outside Burger King on the A40 in London. An Everest double glazing van was parked within 10 feet of a bin on the driver's side. The driver returned to his van with his lunch, got in, lowered his window and turfed out the packaging of his previous meal and then drove off. I was quick enough to get both the number plate and Everest's number. I phoned the telephone number. The woman who answered was as disgusted as I was and informed his boss. They phoned me with regular updates and finally confirmed they knew who it was, had spoken to him and claimed he had been called into the office that afternoon for a telling off.
