[5] You gotta be kiddin’ me? Sure Tokyo is very clean, but I see people throw shit on the ground all the time. (Especially in your neck of the woods, bro).

What about the “parked bike basket dump”? Tokyo is the only place I’ve seen that dirty trick. For those of you who don’t know, some one parks their bike on the street and their basket instantly become a trash receptacle, the longer it stays put the more trash goes in. It’s a really thoughtless and disgusting habit, IMHO

(4) don’t tell fibs, Boat. There ain’t no litter here to pick up.

Jon, two things you might want to try next time that I have used.

1. Kindly and politely say, “You dropped something.” Often, if the person is walking I will pick up the item and hand it to them.

2. Pick up the item yourself and throw it away (when you can). Right in front of the litterer if you want to shame them, or later if you want to be a real saint.

I try to do No. 2 in front of my daughter whenever we come across litter in our travels (within reason). It’s the way I was raised and the way I’m raising her.

The eye-roll seems right to me, actually.
For one thing, it’s a facial expression that will register immediately and intimately with an 8-year-old. For another, rather than saying “naughty!”, it says “loser!”. Which is much more effective.

The laziness of people on the subways is overwhelmingly annoying. There’s garbage cans on every platform and people are THAT impatient that they can’t wait and then i’m the one stuck brushing of Cheetos crumbs off the seats.

Jerks (even if they are 8 & 12 years old!)
