Twisted litter

Picking up litter is thought provoking. I'll spare you the visual, but near this tree today, as often happens, I stepped in exposed dog poo while reaching to pick up bagged dog poo. I'm not angry at dog walkers. Dog walkers, like cyclists and pedestrians, are people and as such present in infinite varieties. And let's face it, we all have days where we want to leave our responsibilities behind. I don't like it, but I get it.

It is interesting though to notice the behavioural tipping point. By now, my research has shown that one bag can stay unaccompanied for some time. Two invites curiosity, and three means near instant crowding. This applies to disposable coffee cups too (pre-lockdown) but not cans, bottles or crisp packets. These have altogether more random behaviour patterns.
