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

[lbryanwf]

There might be janitors at schools, hospitals and the like, but running those places has it's own "mess", if you will, trash bins and cans, cafeteria messes, bio hazard from surgery, dust, floors needing mopped due to foot traffic, windows needing washed, etc. To suggest that for us all to voluntarily add to those messes to keep people in jobs is absurd. As for trash on the streets, there is no "janitor" who drives or walks the streets of the earth simply to pick up rubbish that you might throw. What filthy disgusting streets we would have if everyone did that. There are trash bins almost everywhere you go for your refuse. There are people hired to empty those. Think of the trash that would blow into our natural game reserves, streams, lakes and rivers to pollute and possibly poison or starve our flora and fauna. Remember the water birds that pecked at a six pack plastic rings, got their beaks entangled and then could no longer eat and starved to death? Certain types of rubbish can entangle their wings, feet or bodies making them immobile and thus killing them. Animals have no hands to free themselves. It is very harmful in so many ways to think or behave in the way that statement reads.

I agree with everyone on here. That statement is clearly one of ignorance. Anyone who thinks they are doing someone else a favor by being messy has obviously never had to pick up after anyone else.

I personally feel like making a mess on purpose is stupid. Granted Janitors need there jobs but they don't want unnessary messes to keep them busy.  Most places that have janitors have everyday cleaning that needs to be done without pickup after those who use the excuss " I'm  keeping this person with job security". That is a cop out to be a slob.  I also feel that by thinking this way is telling people that you have no repect or morals.

[cody0608]

Absolutely not.  Everyone should clean up after themselves.  There will still be plenty for janitors to do without having to worry about other peoples purposeful messes. 

[tzs]

There will always be trash to clean up on this planet-janitor or not.

[Skyisbluetoday]

Major trashy for them to clean doesn't seem right. Dirt won't stop as long as the world turns. Still lots for someone to do without the mess of one person making the place extra messy!

[jford87]

I think that people should clean up after themselves. Janitors will still have jobs because floors still need to be swept, mopped, things need to be dusted, etc.

[bearjake]

we should go to their mothers house and throw our garbage on her floor so their mother has something to do!

Agreed. People should clean up after themselves.

I believe that is a statment made by a lazy person, or at least someone who doesn't want to take responsiblity for their own actions.

EXACTLY I HATE WHEN PEOPLE SAY THAT I JUST DID NOT WANT TO PUT MY FEELINGS IN THERE I WANTED TO SEE WHAT YOU GUYS WOULD SAY

[Gleebee]

Another thought!  Why not pick up you own trash just to give the janitor a break.  They work hard and are expected to jump when there is a real disaster, so why not keep things clean so that maybe they get a breath now and then.

[annettefayeroach]

Just an excuse to be lazy.

[pfrancis001]

Nicely put everyone.  I taught my family to pick up after them selves.  so no one has to .

[candyterrius]

Janitors will never be out of work even if we clean up after ourselves. Are people just too lazy to toss their trash in the wastebasket or they just couldn’t locate one? I think it’s careless & ignorant for deliberately tossing garbage out on the streets, public restrooms, or just anywhere other than their own home shows a lot in a person’s level of character. Actions speak louder than words.
