You never hear about these warden nazis issuing fines to addicts who comsume McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut,Coca Cola Amatil and such that litter streets or bus stops after a feast waiting for their limousine.
ReplyDeleteIts quite visible more so to me than ash from a cigarette unless these wardens crawl on their hands and kneees with a microscope, l sometimes pick this garbage up and place it in a bin which is usually near a bus stop that junk food addicts find too hard to do.
Are these wardens scared of pigs with an eating addiction thats socially acceptable and cool?
l'd be a frigging nazi if l spotted that kind
as a warden taking photos and fingerprinting on the spot sending the bill to the providers of the addiction..Ha.
One thing that my eyes spot like a google earth map is litter, l hate it l do, Ha.

ReplyDeleteThey are annoying though, litterbuggers.
Ha.
