I have been known to do that too... depending on the nature of the
trash. I just thought it was weird about this guy because he was
carrying on so much about it. He was gesturing and pointing and saying
something to his wife about it. I could not help but think that if it
bothered him so much he could have picked it up and carried it to the
trash can that he would be walking right past on the way into the Y.
