Litter Bugs!

I am driving down Manchester Road, I see the lady in the car, in front of me, with her window cracked open, just a bit. She flicks her cigarette out onto the street, without a second thought. LITTERING.

Some people do this and especially at street intersections...why is that? There are signs posted every once and a while stating that there is a fine for littering. Therefore the police have the option to pull you over and site you a ticket for littering.

What gets me about this particular lady in her car flicking a cig out onto the street is that she then takes a last sip of her soda can wiggles it in her hand and sees that it is empty...while sitting at this red light... why then did she place it in the cup holder to save and throw out later? Why not toss the soda can out onto the street as well? Oh that would be bad, she wouldn't want to LITTER! What she could have done is sipped her last sip of soda and puffed her remaining puff of the cig and toss the cig into the empty can. Placing it in the cup holder of her car, temporarily till she reached the chance of tossing BOTH into a trash can. Just throw the can on the street next time, it is the same annoying thing as flicking out a cig.

The light turns green, she drives straight through, and I turned left.
