I saw this, with many more masks, upon leaving the grocery store.

No consideration I’m afraid, I often wonder what causes some people to act in this manner,..very selfish isn’t it?
You should see some of the bus shelters here, surfermum, many a time I have picked up litter, to only return to rubbish the next day, they should have cameras up and be fined, imo..
In fact, if caught, I would insist that they picked up litter for a week ,if I had that authority..

It's the same old story – if youngsters aren't taught from a young age NOT to litter in this way but instead to either use a bin or take items home with them and dispose of them there, they grow up into untidy litter louts who don't know any different! Just look at the appalling state with litter generally of our towns, cities and countryside.

Which carries on into adulthood..dropping cigarette ends where they stand. Can’t teach an old dog new tricks ,is the saying I think.

You might see a different attitude and age group if you lived here in the UK. I live in a small rural village, some of those who drive through here, possibly on the way home after collecting a takeaway and eating it then throw the bags, containers and plastic drinks bottles out of the car windows onto the grass verges, the road, people's gardens and driveways. Some in this village go out once a week to litter pick and clean up after these litter louts, it's that bad.

Re: Infuriating
Baz, I live in a small town in Florida, but this happened outside of a university town where my mother lives.It was found after we had a study done on litter here, that people who threw litter out the window tended to be younger and more poorly educated. It's a chicken or the egg thing, however. Do people litter because they are less educated or are people who litter inclined to be less educated in the first place?
Reversely, I suspect the people guilty of the medical littering do so partly because it is accidental, partly because they are more fearful about getting sick, and partly they are more likely to be wearing masks and gloves in the first place.
