Human behavior, unscientific poll.

[Baitball Blogger]

Like many people, I like to study human behavior. I just watch and make casual observations. So I saw something that made me go, hmmm. Here's the scenario. A person walks along a private road. He sees a piece of trash, that's maybe a piece of paper folded into a quarter sheet. The paper is just a few feet from a trash can. What do you do?

1. I would look at to see if it is or would be important to someone

then I would put it in the doggie waste bag that I carry and toss it in the trash when I got home.

Edit: Hold on! Does the person walking on that road live on that road? I wouldn't be walking on a private road that wasn't mine.

3. Yes. He lives on the private road.

5. In that case

I would like to know who was on my private road throwing trash out the window and I would be madder than a wet hen. Not because they were on the road but because of the litter.

9. No idea where it came from.

Did not recognize the trash. And we have had very windy days.

2. pick it up

maybe look at it first to see if it might be important and something I can return... if not, throw it away

6. Why is that person looking down?"

See a shrink.

15. Maybe he/she is a rockhound.

We are always looking down.

16. Like the kid that found a gold coin on the ground.

Never saw the sky again.

7. Maybe someone dropped it and wouldn't find it if moved to the trash can . I'd leave it

What’s a private road ? am I trespassing ? If so then I’m not touching shit, turning around, and getting off the property pronto

13. Thanks everyone. The majority selected my first choice and NO ONE selected the kicking of the trash.

Which affirms what I believe passes for common and uncommon behavior.
