Seem to think it's ok to discard cigarette ends here there and everywhere? Yet if I was to drop something like a crisp packet and the 'authorities' saw me do it I'd quite rightly be reprimanded for it.

And indeed those same authorities would do the same for the smoker.

It's really satisfying when you come through the cloud of smoke outside the office doors and see the warden handing out £75 fines 😀

They do it just to annoy you! 🙂

Personally I always used to bin mine, but then I don't drop crisp packets either. Not that I'd want that to throw a spanner in the sweeping generalisation works 😉

Or the mountain biker* dropping energy gel wrappers.

* Massive generalisations are generally massively wrong.

Nothing worse than getting to a meeting and finding that colleagues have Cheese & Onion breath!
Disgusting and should be banned!

Why do smokers light up just before they're outside? Complete twunts.

I was bitter, twisted and resentful way before I packed in smoking! 🙂

I'm bitter and twisted about any form of littering at all.

I only smoke at home, in the kitchen as my pets give me that 'Judgement face' My kitchen is so blooming cold. I was told i was not a proper smoker for not doing it on the street, but i don't even like eating in public 😳

I do agree that all smokers should get the birch and then sent to foreign parts to dig for truffles with a teaspoon for twenty years, and also have there bank accounts confiscated and proceeds donated to orpahend blind chickens. The familys of these litter bugs should be named and shamed as well as there pets and friends.

PS I'm a ex smoker,

My apologies I didn't realise smokers got fined for dropping the ends. I just assumed they didn't as every smoker I see in the street just tends to throw it in street when finished with.

It's so they can keep their hands free for wringing, to be more like you.

Bloke in the next road from me (there's a path past my house and his) smokes by his front door and throws the butts onto the public path. Every now and then, as I'm walking past I pick up a bunch of them and chuck them by his front door. They are his after all.
I'm pretty sure he finds this very annoying, which amuses me, but what a vile, scummy thing to chuck your crap onto the street.
Sometimes wonder if I should report it.

Get everyone who walks past my house to sign it and post it through his letter box? 😆 I think a large turd out of my dog's arse would have more effect.

Get your dog to lay an egg on his step every time you're passing 😉

What's most irritating is that people who wouldn't dream of dropping a crisp packet still drop butts. It's like it's almost socially acceptable littering; and bizarrely people who object get accused of 'hand wringing'...

really ****s me off this.
infact I think I even started a thread on it once....
it's the people in our office who annoy me the most, it's like shitting on your own doorstep.
there's no butt-bins (if that's a word) or a shelter so they hang around the front of the building (where clients are walking in) and just chuck them on the floor. I wish security, who also hang around in the same space were given the right to give them a shoeing.
