Esther, you seem to have forgotten where you are, and what you are looking at.
Don’t you remember that you and the gang purposefully went to this location in order to view " The Spent Gum of Henry VIII" Exhibit, presently on display at Wrigley Field ??
Speaking of perfectly good trash cans, it reminded me that I grew up in a really poor neighborhood, and all the municipality could afford were imperfectly bad trash cans!
When we visited Hawaii a few years ago, a tour guide told a story about trash cans. At one time, public receptacles had the word ‘Mahalo’ printed on them. It means ‘thank you,’ as in ‘for not littering and for helping keep Hawaii clean.’ They removed it when they found out that many tourists assumed that it was the Hawaiian word for trash.
Today’s other story: the trash cans in Disney world are placed at carefully considered intervals. The story goes that Walt got an ice cream on Main Street USA, and counted how many steps it took him to finish it and have a cup to throw away. That was the distance the trash can should be from the shop, and that measure was applied throughout the park.
In Singapore, they are so obsessive about cleanliness, chewing gums are illegal. The penalties for chewing gum in Singapore are a fine of $100 and/or a jail sentence of up to three months, it is also illegal to sell non-medicinal gum.
Fines are up to $100,000 or 2 years in prison! You are allowed to chew nicotine gum and medicinal gum, as long as it is sold by a pharmacist or dentist. This includes standard “sugar-free gum”. But the seller of medicinal or therapeutic gum must record the name of the purchaser of the gum. Here’s more weird laws in Singapore:
I really can’t decide today whether Nancy is defeating the spirit of the rule by working for the letter of it, or if she’s defeating the letter of the rule by supporting it in spirit.

I see the same thing with people dropping garbage on the ground right in sight of a trash can how lazy are you to do that?
