Vivid Ink - Litter Bugs

My Name is URL

Well-Known Forumite
Drove past Stafford's trendiest tattoo parlor last night and stopped at the lights, saw some staff or possibly customers of Vivid Ink stood in the doorway smoking. On finishing their cigarettes they couldn't be bothered to walk the 100cm to the bin right outside so flicked their cigarette ends at the bin... fair enough... What annoyed the hell out of me though was they missed the bin and didn't even bat an eyelid, turned around and walked back inside leaving the dog ends on the floor.

No wonder Stafford is so visually attractive when people are so lazy and have such little regard to their surroundings :(

Rant over!

If I were an employer, could I ban my employees from smoking within 300m of my store?

just askin'

I hate the sight of an employee smoking in the door way of a store they work for or just round the corner even, heck, i'll not go to/back to a place if I see a chef smoking out the back of the kitchens of a food place.

I'd never ever go to vivid ink in the first place. The fact they're stereotyping the type of people who get tattoos In the first place doesn't surprise me.

A couple of weeks ago while walking into town I saw a similar thing to the original poster, so I very kindly picked up the 5 or so fag ends that the dirty individuals dropped on the floor and then made my way into Vivid Ink and dropped them on their floor and asked them to in future to use the bins provided.

I then reported the problem to Streetscene.

I genuinely believe some smokers don't consider fag butts litter and, therefore, they happily discard them anywhere they like. I'm afraid until fines are issued to those that do this then nothing is going to change.

So far I have 1,it's a Blue Rose. Blue. cos it's my little sisters name, and Rose cos it's mm and big sisters middle names. I'd love a big one on my back, but what to have? I'm not a big fan of the tribal ones, so I think I'd have get one of my lads sketch sumat for me to give a base start from.

I think I would like a sort of Chinese/Japanese pond type thing with some carp & lots of flowers & very very colourful. I have a dragon & think he needs some vegetation to hide in :)

I've seen one of a koi carp one side and snake the other, with greenery/shrubby stuff in between them.
