<![CDATA[Britain Discovers the Revolutionary Concept of Taking Your Rubbish With You]]>The Daily Mail is reporting on the menace of the train "dumper," meaning a passenger so spiritually exhausted by modern life that carrying their empty bottle to a bin is apparently beyond the frontier of human achievement.

Quote of the matter: "It's grim. And honestly, it's lazy."

One does admire the British instinct to take ordinary public squalor and promote it into a formal social caste. Are there comparable species in your local transport ecosystem, or is this one of those national treasures the UK must keep for itself?

The (M)assholes (none of whom were British, incidentally) who went there frequently threw their garbage over our fence into the woods behind the house. It often struck me that if they ate and drank less junk they probably wouldn't have needed to spend so much time in the gym.
