What if any littering is acceptable in your mind?

Results | Messages | Flag
In the last couple years I've been really careless with my garbage. I'll admit I like to litter when I'm in certain moods. What if any littering do you think is acceptable?

Say you're at a concert. There's no garbage within at least 60 feet. There's people all around you. The concert management has hired cleaners after to pick up everything. What would you consider (somewhat if not completely:) acceptable to litter? Check all that apply.

Which excuses would make you feel a bit better about the person littering what and where they did?
I had no pockets
The garbage would have annoyed me in my pocket
There are no garbage cans for miles!
This area already was full of litter
The city pays people to pick it up.. who cares?
No one will see it in that ditch anyways so who cares?
It's hard to carry that very far
It's so small. No one will even notice it's there.
It's biodegradable. Who cares?
I just felt like it. Gives me a way to be rebellious.

Say they're right next to a public garbage can... would any of these things be acceptable to just drop on the ground?
