So the young lady got in my car as we'd arranged.
The first thing she did was wind down the window and throw out a tissue she'd been using for her makeup. I said that she shouldn't litter the streets. She replied it's ok, it's bio-degradable.
When did litter become bio-degradable? |

Did you make her get out and pick it up?
It might degrade eventually but it's not instantaneous.
I hate people throwing litter from cars, even more than it being dropped in the streets. At least the litter louts dropping things in the street can be called back to pick up their rubbish.

There are vids on youtube of a Russian woman who cruises the streets looking for car owners dumping rubbish on the street. She picks it up, speeds after them on her motorbike, taps on their window at some lights, and chucks the rubbish at them before speeding off Very funny stuff. |
