burning trash
some bloody idiot tossed a cigarette butt into this bin at a bus stop near my place.
A bus pulled into the stop, and the driver got off the bus and put the flame out with his fire extinguisher.
This public-spirited act took less than 2 minutes from start to end, but unfortunately managed to elicit very loud, harsh, selfish, sarcastic and completely uncalled-for remarks from an elderly couple on board. They made comments such as:
“If I were rushing to work, I’d be late!”
“No one is paying you extra, why are you firefighting?”
“I bet if the extinguisher were his own, he wouldn’t use it.”
(Woman, to husband) “What do you think he’s thinking of?”
(Reply) “Firefighting, what else??”
People like these make me sick.
I actually had a series of shots with the flames taking various wondrous, beautiful shapes, but I accidentally erased them ALL.
