For me, it is always when someone asks me a question which answer could easily have been retrieved through their phone online. You’re meaning to tell me, that what you have in your pocket, is not some form of gateway to information that can answer anything you’re curious about at just about anywhere?
So you go and bother me instead, whom for all I care, could just lie to you or to be honest, admit that I don’t know everything. Because that’s what your god damn phone is for now and has been for a while now. Go use it, stop nagging me, I know when to use it when I want to know something, I don’t go around bugging people and asking stupid questions.
Cigarette butts are some of the most toxic litter disposed of by people and if they’re filtered, contain a fiberglass sponge that leaches out toxins into the soil for hundreds of years after disposal.
But it’s not inexcusable to me, because someone doing that might genuinely not think it’s a big deal - cigarette butts are small, easy to overlook. It is a big deal, of course, but I can at least imagine what goes through their mind when they do it, or rather, what doesn’t. They’re could just be oblivious to it.
That’s not the case with something bigger, though. Nobody with half a brain thinks a plastic food wrapper just disappears into nature or that no one will notice it. They have to know they’re being inconsiderate jerk when they do it - yet I don’t think they would do it if they did, and that’s what makes it so baffling to me. It’s like hitting yourself - why would you do that?
