100%.
I always remember this time when I was standing with a couple of other taxi drivers outside our cars on Pitt Street having a smoke. When I finished mines I walked about 15 feet to put the doubt in the bin. Did it without really thinking about it just because. The other drivers all reacted badly though giving it things like "check out Mr conscientious". It wasn't even a playful slagging. There was real and visible contempt in their faces and tone. Definitely a sort of 'fuck you' behind it. I don't fully understand it, but I think it might be some kind of attitude like 'Do you think your better than me? Do you think you're some kind of hoity-toity snob?' sort of mindset.
> I think when people ... see you picking up then they are less likely to drop
I agree the reverse is actually more likely. On that night, after I used the bin, the other guys made a big show of throwing their fag-ends on the ground as a further kind of "get it up ye". |
