Maybe it a bit of me being a jerk about it, but I believe it'll at least make them think it through a bit the next time they do it. But then again, maybe not........



It also kinda makes me wonder a.) were they raised in a pigsty, b.) who picks up after them at home, and c.) just what DOES their home look like?

Most of the time, you're right, people will do the right thing, though sometimes you encounter someone who just don't care about anyone or anything but themselves. They might be the center of their world...and I wonder how they'd feel if you went to their home or room and just started littering.

Practice while you're away, we need you both on the squad...
