Littering

Near the top of my list of Examples of How People Suck is littering. Ignoring cases in which items are accidentally lost (not including junk flying out of pickup trucks because they were improperly secured), the conscious disposal of trash on the ground (or in trees, gutters, etc.) boggles me. I am as lazy as the next guy, but I have never been so slothful that I cannot wait to find a trashcan.

This story about McDonald’s having to redesign the McFlurry container “in the unfortunate incidence that a lid is littered” and then traps a hedgehog that then starves to death is just another Example of How People Suck.
