    This is not gentleman behaviour, this is common sense. Everyone should be doing this

    I was shocked when I visited the US and people actually occasionally just threw stuff on the ground without a second thought.

    In my country you’d get so many bad stares from bystanders if you did that lol. I once got yelled on by an old women because I accidentally put my PET bottle in the general bin.

    I love doing this, because two/three days later when I do laundry I find what I’ve been doing for the last few days as if I had kept a journal.

      I’m autistic and I like the big bang theory.

      In sitcoms, everything is the punchline. That’s sort of the point of them. They take things to extremes for the sake of humor. I find shit like Good Doctor to be way more fucking insulting than an exaggeration of me and my friends. I can 100% be Sheldon at times, especially when it comes to Star Trek.

      Autism and nerdculture isn’t the punchline. Everyone who worked on the show was nerdy as hell. It’s the set up. The punchline is stereotype.

        Genuine question from a neurotypical person, what do you find insulting about the Good Doctor?

          It’s painfully stereotypical. Not to mention the hyper common trope of brilliant savant who is autistic and thereby socially crippled. It also just feels really gross

    When I smoked cigarettes, I would roll the cherry off and stick the butt in my pocket and carry it until I saw a trash can. The cretins at my work who leave cig butts on the ground make me sick. I saw one drop his butt in a garden planter the other day. A trash can was ten feet away. Assholes.

      I don’t smoke but I thought they were biodegradable. Can you put them in the regular trash? I thought it was a firehazard. Where I work there are ash trays next to all the trash cans. But thank you for not being a littering piece of shit. I take bottles home and recycle them instead of throwing them away at work. People seem to think its bizzare.

        Definitely not, the filters are plastic. Joint butts will generally be biodegradable though, as paper/cardboard filters are more common there.

        Putting a lit butt into a regular trash can is a fire hazard, but as long as you put it out first it’s fine
