I hate this with a vengeance. It's downright bloody lazy.

Would you yourself tidy up a table if you found it like that or leave it like that/sit elsewhere?

I'd personally bin it and if they were still in the vicinity I'd hope they felt ashamed. Probably not though.

Wouldn’t sit at a table with someone else’s rubbish

Yes? That's what I just said? I would not either. I would remove it and sit there.

No you’re not understanding. I wouldn’t sit at a table with someone else’s rubbish. I wouldn’t be moving anyone’s rubbish to sit down. I simply wouldn’t entertain it.

My pet peeve is rubbish in general. The amount of rubbish people leave in nature is grim, and so lazy. Like if you can’t respect nature you don’t deserve to be going there.

Yes so you'd sit elsewhere which was an option I gave. I understood perfectly well.

Why are you cleaning up other peoples rubbish if you’re sitting else where

Do you wipe up the gravy stains as well, Kate?

Don't be silly. I would ask for it to be cleaned. But a bit of cardboard etc I'd move myself.

If there was no other table available yes I would move the trash either to bin or to the counter, then I would wash my hands, its not beneath me like it seems to be to some :umm2:

It's just basic manners to clean up after ourselves to be fair

Yeah completely. I had to wait a long time for him but I eventually met my soul mate, our tastes are so attuned and he's got my sense of humour and good manners. Having a lovely time on our budget. Thanks Cherie :love:

I'd just sit somewhere else, definitely wouldn't clear away other people's rubbish, it grosses me out

I will also pick up litter and put it in a bin if the occasion arises

same, hate people littering, especially if a bin is in easy reach, there were two plastic cups on the beach yesterday took them to the bin, people are so damn lazy, there are bins everywhere as well

When we are out on walks we are always picking up litter / cans / bottles just left in bizarre places- sometimes just a few feet from a bin

Unbelievable

That is unkind to pigs who are clean creatures, human dross is probably more apt

Like its not that deep, its generally only fast food outlets and if its been busy and the staff haven't had time and there are no tables, to move a bit of cardboard rubbish to the bin is really not that big a deal in my eyes. You are sounding very precious Parmy

You've obviously inherited the table of a scum family with no morals, to lazy to move their mess, kids don't even probably know how to clean themselves after having a shite...I hope your wipes ate anti bacterial for all the **** smears left by these lazy inconsiderate creatures....


Yeah, m9ve the cardboard, but I wouldn't be sitting down until it was properly wiped by trained staff....yuk.
