  I have a serious question for you lawyers out there? If I’m at a stop light and the guy in front of me throws a cigarette butt on the ground. How illegal is it for me to grab it off the ground and throw it back into his car?

    Just say you thought they dropped it by accident and you were returning it, doing a good deed.

  My neighbour’s douchebag boyfriend drops his cig butts all over the front of their (her) place.

  I found one flicked onto my front windowsill literally this morning, on my doorstep nearly daily, and it turns out that he’s been chucking them out of a window and they have been ending up in our shared guttering for months. This affects about 4-5 other houses as well.

  Smoking is an inherently selfish act - but at least have the good grace to keep your fucking plastic pollution to yourself - especially when you’re smoking outside your own goddamn residence!

    That sounds like a huge fire hazard. Insane

      I mean I live in the UK so it’s not a massive risk (part of why it’s acceptable) but I have a farmer friend who almost lost a seasons worth of crop to a fire started by a fag end flicked from a car.

      But yeah, smoking correlates with poor behaviour more broadly in various ways (in my experience). I feel like such a crank but I identify strongly with Costanza screaming “we live in a society” more than I’m comfortable with when I see people brazenly littering (esp. fag ends).
