Most people lack empathy and think about nobody other than themselves.

Throw a full bottle of water at them. Double points if you get it through their open window.

People here (the City, State, and moreso the Country) are simply massive losers. It sucks. it really does, and you if you figure this out let me know.

I doubt I will ever figure it out because this has been an ongoing issue for ever. And it wouldn't be just NYC, but pretty much a lot of places.

We went to Curacao over the summer.....sure, there was some trash here and there, but nothing like around here. I have been to London, Berlin, Brussels and Prague....I don't really recall the amount of garbage that I see around here, but there was still some trash. Bottom line is, there are just really shitty people wherever you go.

I think it's fair to say that there is way more disrespect for others here (in the US) compared to some other places around the world, and I think it's the individualistic mindset we have, so I'd say it is largely cultural. But some places also have really intricate garbage disposal systems so, that's the other part.

This issue in particular I actually posted about on /r/asknyc a few months ago when I saw someone tossing napkins out of their car. I was met mostly with agreement that it sucks, but there were a few that told me to mind my business or suck it up or whatever. It sucks. People suck.

I’m right with you on this one. Im from Queens, born and raised but moved out about a year ago. Could not take the non sense of the city anymore. People used to do this right in front of my house and I would put the garbage right back on the wind shield. One time this lady was cleaning her car windows outside my house and throwing the paper towels right in front of my house. I waited until she was done giving her the benefit of the doubt to clean up her mess but she didn’t clean up her mess. I came out of my house and had to ask her to clean up her mess. And where I lived in queens we didn’t have street cleaning so it was every house for themselves. People are just ugh and it’s getting worse and worse.

It's Jamaica Queens. You're lucky it wasn't a body in a plastic bag and a spent crackpipe.

Listen... this town is filled with people who just don't give a shit and do whatever the fuck they want.

It transcends race, class, gender...and honestly, in the past 10 years, I feels like it has gotten worse.
