If and when you have to hit the grocery store or pharmacy, we imagine you suit up in your protective masks and gloves (though we were reminded this week that gloves don’t really do shit unless you’re constantly sanitizing). After you stock up on, you know, frozen pizza — which saw a 117.2% year-to-year increase during the first half of March — and whatever toilet paper your grubby little gloved hands can find, you exit the store and, instead of placing your personal protection gear in the trash as you would with literally any other garbage, you decide to leave it strewn outside your car door on the ground for some underpaid, overworked employee to dispose of because, as a result of this crisis, you’ve clearly lost control of your faculties.
Well, fucking stop.
Below is a helpful video on how to completely disrobe yourself of PPE garb via the Public Health England, because maybe hearing this shit with an English accent will inspire you to take this more seriously.

“We get it, you’re scared of the Corona virus”
I wonder why lady. Maybe it’s because the media and politicians have created hysteria on purpose. Everywhere I look there’s a graphic of a virus ball thing.
People are pigs don’t blame the virus. Drive down any roadway and you’ll see trash everywhere.
Cleveland was always a slob town, but for a while, people seemed to give a damn and didn’t pig up everything as much. The anti-litter campaigns and recycling and the environmentalists seemed to be making a difference.
But pigginess runs in cycles. It gets better for a while and then gets worse again. Take a look out the window when you’re on the Red Line. It was horrible for years. With great effort, it was cleaned up. But it soon got piggy again.
Then a major effort was undertaken for the GOP Convention, and the right-of-way never looked better than it did in 2016. Now? As bad as it’s ever been . Great way to impress people who are coming into town from the airport.
And then you wonder why out-of-towners call Cleveland a shithole city? Look in the mirror. Pixies didn’t dump all that shit along the tracks.
Its a cultural thing. I live in maple hts. and this city is a shithole. Why is that?
With the outrageous taxes that residents have to pay around here, one would think that we would be living in a utopian environment!!!
Unfortunately, the city and county has turned into nothing but a cesspool of corruption, outrageously high taxes, and fleecing of taxpayers for every possible cause one can think of, all led by corrupt and thieving politicians!!!
Until crooks like Taxin Jackson, and thief Budish are finally, and forcibly, removed from office, nothing will likely ever change around here except paying more and more taxes to fund more and more of their cronies and six-figure salary administrators!!!
This answers the following: Q. Why has there been such a run on toilet paper during this pandemic? A. There are quite a few giant a–holes out there.
we’ve spent years with most people not using their blue recycle bins correctly. Did you really think Americans would not just throw their safety gloves and masks on the parking lots and shopping carts?
Doofuses? Shouldn’t that be doofi? Did you lay off your copy editor?
