The other day as I was leaving for work, I noticed a man picking up trash, fallen leafs, etc on the side of the street. (yes my street has trash on it) And I thought to myself, 'huh that's really nice, he's taking pride in his neighborhood and cleaning up!' After all he wasn't wearing an orange jumpsuit so this clearly was by choice and not court ordered.
Then I noticed the cigarette hanging out of his mouth. The ashes from the cigarette drifting softly still lit into his pile of dried up garbage waiting to spark a flame with the movement of any sudden breeze...and after the final drag, the butt flicked out to the middle of the street. And it was then I thought ' Really? I mean its not like California is known for its wildfires or discarding your cigarette butt in the middle of the road is considered littering or anything.'
Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else find this slightly ironic? No? Yes? Whatever.
