In that case I explain "I think you somehow forgot seats are for people and unconsciously threw the wrapper out the window - would you do that at your home ?" etc. (see next) 2) "What do you care ?" - CONFRONTATIONAL JERKS. In that case I reply, very calmly: "I care because I live here/nearby // take this bus everyday // love my city - What would you say if I follow you to your home and dump my trash in your mailbox for the next few weeks ? Anybody else whith me ?" I try to use the same non-physical violence they use with their environment, psycologically. Perhaps I am too twisted or too tired or too lazy/afraid to snap their pictures (a project I considered for some time). Of course this is only for educational purposes, don't try this in public transportation. ;) Whenever I come across someone like that I always start by a good yelled “HEY!” immediately followed by a softer “What do think you’re doing ?” – rule #1 – never use foul language while you yell – rule #2 – pretend you don’t know the other person thought you were attacking them when applying rule #1
