People!

On my way home from class earlier this week I was somewhat alone in a usually busy area in my neighborhood. In front of me, on a bench were sitting a pair of boys who didn't appear very Swedish and spoke broken Swedish. I was the only one besides them on the bike path then and all of a sudden they throw a glass bottle against the back of the grocery store on the other side of the bike path. Ugh! Glass everywhere. Why do people do so stupid things? When immigrants behave like that it makes my life much more difficult. I was very tempted to get off of my bike and lecture them, but my common sense won out. People shouldn't trash their own neighborhoods, it's just stupid. There are enough broken bottles around without people adding more on purpose. And it isn't like they sweep the streets and paths as often as they do back in Chico. The glass will likely just stay there for a long time. It'll probably give some people flat tires as well.
