That applies anywhere a bit of personal responsibility is required. Fast food restaurants or ones that request you to clean up after yourself (ikea an example from my own recent experience), Self service coffee counters. People will be on saying this problem is just as bad in other countries - Im not sure. The cinema thing seems to be a particularly irish phenonenon.

Rubberchikken · 20-04-2015 03:55PM

anyone of any nationality can and does dump their recycling on the ground near the bins. some foreigners will some won't. you were probably just lucky to arrive at the time to witness it. i definitely wouldn't clear up someone else's rubbish though - yuk.

Ya its just the Foreigner, yep the Irish are perfect, 10/10 etc etc.

2Bints1Joe · 20-04-2015 04:23PM

I thought they send the empty cans home

Matt_Trakker · 20-04-2015 05:53PM

I live in Poland and I can tell you that recycling here is done way more than back at home.

England is no better or worse than Ireland St cleaning up after a McD's or cinema trip. I can't speak for anywhere else.

Barcelona is the dirtiest place I've ever been. Much worse than Dublin. Graffiti on nearly every structure too.

whupdedo · 20-04-2015 08:53PM

So are we all agreed. irish people = dirty lowlife scum bags who inbreed , litter and scam old people for dodgy tarmac.... . .

MRnotlob606 · 20-04-2015 08:55PM

If you want to be the big fella and clean up in an establishment where the staff are paid to do their job then thats your business.

I bet ya dont clear up the piss off the toilet seats when ya use a public toilet say in a shopping centre for example instead of leaving it behind for the next poor soul. Its a hypocritical stance really from some people who try to preach about manners in a public place where its one rule for one thing and a different rule for the other when really its the same principle.

Nobody is trying to be the big fella. What the hell does that even mean? Surely it's not bad ass to clean up after yourself?! As far as getting a bit wee on a toilet seat goes? Absolutely I'd give it a wipe, I'm not a fcking animal. Then again you probably just p*ss anywhere and expect others to deal with it.

Yes its not bad ass to clean up in say someones house where your a guest, its manners but it hardly makes a difference in something like a Cinema where a bit of popcorn is spilt on the floor. Its not like I can just produce a dustpan and brush out of my arse pocket at the snap of my fingers and just clean it up. Thats pure nonsense. If its the customers job to clean up everything there then whats the point in having cleaners and staff who are paid to do these specific jobs

"Absolutely Id give it a wipe". Thats a massive lie which your only saying to enhance your argument. I highly doubt you would do that in say a manky pub bathroom. Also do you not use the urinals provided which are specifically for that purpose instead of pissing on toilet seats?

Normally I use the Urinals provided in such a situation cos "Im not a fcuking animal" that goes into a cubicle for the sake of it and pisses everywhere when theres urinals provided specifically for that. Maybe take that into consideration before you make your uneducated presumptions

You remind me of a moron I had the misfortune to know once who, when challenged by yours truly about littering, defended his actions by claiming that "he was creating employment".

You can't argue with that kind of stupid. They' ll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Worrying that you know what I do in public bathrooms and state something is a massive lie. Creepy actually.. As for using urinals, yep I use them when they're there obviously but how about when eating out at a restaurant that doesn't have them? Then again, you probably eat from a trough.

I live in Paris and no one seems to recycle. I am slightly obsessed with it so I am constantly taking things out of the normal bin and putting them in their bins. I lived with a German,Spanish and French person and only the German and I really cared about recycling. She told me everyone in Germany is obsessed with it...we bonded,it was beautiful.

Hah yeah I lived in Germany for a few summers while in college and then did an Erasmus year there. They are pretty obsessive about it - to the extent different types of paper (news paper and shiny magazines are separated). Also the type of plastic as well. I was always impressed about the amount of aluminium they could recycle from yogurt lids - urban legend at the time had it that it was for the car industry :pac:

No one is suggesting you whip a mini Dyson out of your back phoca, and well you know it. He's talking about the trash than can be reasonably conveyed to the adjacent bin. Stuff like drink and popcorn cartons, wrappers.

Would you knock a skid of a jacks at work/school should you leave one after dropping a log, or leave it for the cleaners?

wtf

Yeah if I piss on the seat I would 100% of the time wipe it off, in fact it's one of the things that really infuriates me, when people don't do that.

What I'm saying is the exact opposite of hypocritical, because I ALWAYS bring my rubbish to a bin. If you can't understand that the problem is people leaving the rubbish in the first place (not me saying I go around cleaning up after others at the cinema!) then I just don't know.

Right I just want to rant about something that I'm seeing a lot of lately, I've seen this a couple of times and I've spotted it again last night while recycling some beer cans after a get together I was at.

Was on the way home and a stopped by a local supermarket where there are a load of containers for recycling, it was about 1am, I was approaching with a my bagpack of empty cans, when a guy in a left hand drive car with a Poland registration gets out of his car drops 2 knotted plastic bags full of odd named beer cans in front of the container and gets in his car and drives off.

I see this fairly frequently at recycling areas and drives me mad, and it's more often than not our Eastern European counterparts that do it, I seem to be there at the right time just as the f**ker is jumping in his car, if you're going to make the journey down with the beer cans, put the cans into the bin instead of dumping them there in front of it, they are their responsibility, not for someone else to pick up after you, the bins weren't even full.

Takes an Irishman to do a task properly so I put the cans in rather than attract vermin, the bag also contained some empty odd brand cigarette boxes and ashes and fag butts, was fairly rank and I tossed them into another bin nearby.

Probably coming across as a bit of a racist but I'm seeing it the whole time, what makes people so special where they don't have to put their own rubbish in the bin and the next best thing is dumping it in front of it? Do they believe in the rubbish fairy that picks up your dirt as soon as you half arse your drop off?

Anyone else see the same stuff out there? Hate when people half arse simple tasks.

You walk around Dublin, and with the exception of some local scum, most of the people you see drinking on the street in full view, are tourists. As if no one told them that such behaviour is liable to a ban. If a normal Irish person is seen walking Down the street with a can, he will be fined and maybe have his gear confiscated

Probably nobody has told them. You're allowed to drink in public in a lot of Europe.

Your the one who stated originally that I supposedly "piss on the seat and leave it there". So if anyone is the creep then it is you if you bothered to remove your head from your arse for a moment instead of your stupid remarks.

Never once did I say that I did any of the things you claim I do, rather I was simply calling a spade a spade and stating the obvious that staff are paid to do these jobs doesnt mean I actually do it. Back to the cinemas theres nothing wrong with throwing say a cup or rubbish in the bin but I highly doubt your going to get down on your hands and knees and start scrubbing the carpet if you spilt a cup of coke on it or something. Get down off your high horse for a moment and maybe consider Im trying to make a point about something which regularly happens instead of resorting to juvenile insults and throwing your toys out of the pram when someone trys to put across a different to your own
