When the US Skylab Space Station fell into Western Australia in 1979, the Australian Government sent the US Government a litter fine of $400 

The US Skylab Space Station that fell into Western Australia

No, littering is trashy.

Believe it or not, especially in rural areas, there aren't people that get paid to pick up your trash. There are volunteer organizations who are so saddened by the amount of trash that ends up on the roads and eventually in our waterways that they give freely of their time to pick up the mess. When I first saw this thread pop up I didn't think it would someone bragging about littering, or even framing it in a context where they think they are performing a civic duty. Even if it were being picked up by a city employee, it wouldn't be like that piece of litter gave that employee a job. It would be more like that piece of litter kept a pot hole from being filled or a sprinkler head from being fixed.

I hope more than anything that you aren't teaching children this specific habit as well as the odd process of justification you're using for it. If nothing else, they may look back on you when they get older and see the ill will you've spread and wonder why.

I very much disagree with the sentiment 'we are all human and have lazy moments.' I mean sure, I have mine when I'm at home, but I clean up after myself before things get too messy.

Whether it's working retail in any position or merchandising or delivering, there is never any time to stand around and goof off or talk. When customers lazily misplace items, think I have time to socialize, or take a very long time paying if I'm at a register(those days are behind me thankfully, and within a reasonable time frame), it puts me behind to be able to go to my next job or class, which causes more unneeded stress.

Your city might or might not have dedicated workers that pick up litter, but whether they are volunteers or not, it doesn't give you any right to dump YOUR trash for someone else to pick up.  They have families or duties to get back to just like anyone else.

Whenever I walk around my neighborhood or park, I pick up litter as I go some days, bringing a plastic bag(that I also hate wasting- paper is better!) and helping out even if a little bit.

Don't be lazy, please. Always strive to do better, whether you're off the clock, on the road(pay attention, use your signal, and don't speed!), or at work. Try to make the world a better place.
