If you saw someone drop litter would you ask them to pick it up?

I don't tell them to pick it up. I'm too scared x] You never know how different people will re-act to things. But... when they're not looking I give them bad looks >_> yeh that's about as tough as I get.

When I was about fourteen I dropped a chocolate wrapper. Two bigger lads were behind me, one of whom shouted "YOU PICK THAT UP NOW!!!!" Of course, I did. I was humbled to realise these two lads had higher morals than me. Many many many years later I was in the fortunate position to pay wht these lads had taught me forward: On one occasion - it was a school boy, like me - he complied. On another it was an adult - he swore at me and told me to mind my own ******* business. I'm glad I pointed their poor behaviour! I knew how they felt for being told!

I have done it in the past ('excuse me, you seem to have dropped something'), but I'm not really sure I'd be brave enough anymore. And that of course is the problem, people intimidate and get away with anti social behaviour

I do this all the time - only I pick it up and say very sweetly 'excuse me you just dropped this' as if assuming they never meant to..they always look back slack-jawed and thank me LOLOL. Littering may seem trivial but it's part of personal responsibility for the environment we all have to share so it pisses me off no end. ESPECIALLY when it's kids who do it with parents who don't bat an eyelid.

I wouldn't cos these days u can't say anything to any one with out supporting a shiner! (black eye(s)

i wouldnt. its not worth the risk of them being some crazy with a knife

Sadly, im with you, i hate litter bugs but it doesnt seem worth getting stabbed for.

Litter no, but I have frequently pointed out the proximity of ashtrays to smokers who just throw their butts on the ground. One time I was walking out of the bank when another customer was finishing his cigarette. The guy flicked his butt into the bushes and then walked inside - even though there was an ashtray right outside the door. I actually went back into the bank and very vocally pointing out to the guy what a jackass he was for flicking his butt into the bushes.

That's an interesting question. Yeah, it's really crap to see other people do that, I agree. I've seen someone do it too, and I agree, it's a bit risky to tell them to pick it up, but if you're a chick, you can probably get away with telling guys off, although make sure others are around, cos there are a lot of wierdos out there. Anyways, your not captain planet, but it's great that you were disgusted, at least that means you have the decency to do the right thing, some people it seems are just losers.
