How do you feel about this statement........

[tashamjoy]

People always say I can throw my garbage on the floor, street, make a mess because I am keeping the janitors jobs. They say if we all clean our mess the janitors will be out of work. What do you guys think about this statement

[davidh121]

I still do not think that's an excuse to be a slob and not pick after yourself. There's always going to be people who do not pick after themselves and there are going to be "accidental" messes, but this doesn't mean people should intentionally make a mess if they're conscious of their actions. The only exception in my life I might have felt differently was my last trip at a fast food restaurant in China where I picked up after myself and tossed my scraps and garbage in the trash bin and got a cold stare from the busboy (this example was more in line with your janitor example).

That would be like saying it's okay to rape women, because you keep the police, prison guards, counselors, judges, lawyers, et. al. employed.

Was that about men?  lol.  I think as long as they think someone else is going to clean up their mess, they don't bother with doning it them self.  But, most guys don't really even care if it gets cleaned up at all.

Untrue.  Toss your garbage in a trash can and you still need janitors to empty the can.

learn to pick up after yourself and you'll always have a job.

Janitors will never be eliminated because there will always be messes to clean.  Plus there is the attitude, "let the janitor clean it up, that's what they get paid for."  Cleaning up is beneath some people.

I think the janitors would have plenty to do with sweeping and mopping and all the other chores that they are expected to do.  I feel it is everybodies obligation to pick up after themselves.  Oh, what a pretty, clean world we would have!

Those people are stuck on stupid. It's just an excuse for laziness.

The Janitor's job is more than just picking up mess, it them keeping things organized and mopping floors and what not. If you pick up trash from the ground your helping earth.

I think you mean "Some people believe it is beneath them to clean up"? I don't really believe that anyone is too good to clean up after themselves. The only people who truly have an excuse are the very young or the disabled.

Very good point, though.

I think it's a statement for lazy people. If everyone picked up after themselves, well it would make other people's lives so much easier.

The sad thing is that I hear parents tell their kids "let the janitor clean it up, that's what they get paid for."  What are they teaching their kids??? 

[bigedshult]

EVEN IF EVERYONE CLEAN UP AFTER THEN SELF THEIR WILL ALL BE WORK FOR THEM JUST THINK OF ALL OF THE CLEANING THAT HAS TO BE DON THET JUST KNEADS TO BE CLEAN UP.

[Azanne07]

not all janitorial jobs would be gone. you still need places to be sanitized like bathrooms and such. they clean the stuff you can see also
