Setting a bad example

While many of us have been brought up not to discard litter on the streets, unfortunately there will always be exceptions, an example of which I witnessed today near a supermarket at Hillsborough.

A man aged around 40 was walking along, eating a sandwich.

Some of the wrapping dropped, or was dropped, on the floor.

A lady supermarket employee also saw this, leading to the following conversation:

LADY: Excuse me, you’ve just dropped something.

MAN: Oh, it’s only a bit of paper.

LADY: So you’re not going to pick it up then?

MAN: No.

LADY: May I ask why?

MAN: Because I’m not bothered.

I will never understand the mentality of such people.
