I'd be scared to run in case the jobsworth in question decided to get their own back by uploading the video to the internet. You never want to be on social media awkwardly fleeing from someone with a bodycam, you might as well have 'I've been found out sending explicit texts to 14 year olds' tattooed on your forehead. Life ruiner.

You and whose knees?

I've seen one of these authorised officers trail a woman smoking a cigarette for at least a minute until they dropped it, then demand they come back out of the hotel lobby they'd just entered onto the street so they could get their fine. Spectacular mall cop bullshit

I thought the whole litter wardens thing tended to be councils hiring private companies to collect fines? These people tended to target more vulnerable people than others - I used to work for a charity aimed at helping disabled adults and the amount that came in upset they had lost their weeks income for dropping a cigarette seemed higher than other groups I'm in. Aye, littering is bad, but it seems a disproportionate punishment for people who don't have much money and smoke, especially with money that could be spent on more bins instead contracting private companies as an additional income stream or whatever. Its bullshit.

I don’t want to start another “should the left vote Labour” debate again, but every time I think that maybe I’ll hold my nose next election and vote for whatever melt runs in my constituency, the PLP come out with more right wing bullshit. I imagine a fair number of left leaning people would probably vote Labour if they had some mild social democratic policies (like utility nationalisation), but the party seem to want to actively turn away even that demographic. They’re just so poo poo.

We tried that in 2010 and it didn't end well.

Vote for whoever you can who's placed to the left of Labour. Green or TUSC or whoever else. But not the Lib Dems, for the love of god.

Littering isn't an issue you can just solve with more bins.

Go to any carpark with a McDonald's drive through nearby. You only have to wait maybe 10 minutes before you see someone dump their eaten order out their window because stepping out of the parked car and taking the 10 steps to the bin is just too much to ask.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

The office for my last job used to be near a university building. I'd often walk past it to get my lunch and as I was doing so I'd see students dropping their cigarette ends on the ground and walking into the weird automated revolving doors (they'd sit open until someone entered then they'd wait a second before starting to turn - revelant).

One day when I was doing so I saw a girl drop her cigarette, stand on it, and walk towards the revolving door and without thinking about it I picked it up, walked over to her, and as she entered the door said "excuse me, I think you dropped this". She turned around with her hand out (I don't know how I was this lucky), I put the cigarette end in her hand, and before she had a chance to realise what was going on the automated door had started revolving and she had to move inside or get hit by it.

It sounds like an unrealistically convenient "and then everybody clapped" story, but if I was going to invent one of those I'd at least try to come up with something that makes me seem like less of a loser oval office. I loved it though.

The Maccies near me has big open-mouthed bins with a little target inside (like an inverted urinal) so people can lob their rubbish straight out of the car window. Obviously lots of people still aren’t bothered (or just miss) but it’s a good effort nonetheless

My horrors tend to do the same (and when a Maine coon shits itself in a confined space the results are /not/ pretty).

When we moved from London to Shropshire we dosed up all three of them with Xanax and some sort of kitty tranquilliser. Rosa spent the entire trip on her back with her mouth open in her carrier, Bob dozed most of the way and Digby woke up for the last half hour and started to industriously chew through his carrier- which was designed for medium sized dogs. The little shite.

Then when we got here all of them walked like drunken sailors for a few hours. Wish I’d thought to video them- it was hilariously cute.
