I was coming out of Booths this lunchtime with a bottle of Vimto and an 8 pack of Twirls, when a woman in front of me started emptying the bus tickets out of her purse onto the floor - even though she was about 5 yards from a bin.
I hate littlebugs.
I approached her and said if she didn't pick up every last ticket I would dump her in the litter bin. She looked genuinely scared but complied with my request.
She was about 65 but was well dressed and clearly quite fit. Even so, some bloke came up and asked if he could help her. She then pointed at me and claimed I'd abused her. The guy came over to say his piece, but I made it quite clear he'd get a stiletto in the eye if he didn't back away.
But my point is this - should old people be immune from getting abuse just because they are knocking on? Surely a litterbug is a litterbug regardless of their age?
