"Someone else will clean it": Why are grown adults still littering in public?

from Afternoons with Zweli on 947 · host 947

What goes through the mind of a grown adult who drops trash directly onto the floor and simply walks away? On this episode of Word on The Street on Afternoons with Zweli, Zweli shares an infuriating encounter involving Producer DX, who had to confront two adult women for brazenly littering in public. The incident sparks a heated, relatable discussion about entitlement, personal accountability, and the bizarre mentality that someone else is always obligated to clean up your mess. From cinema-goers leaving mountains of popcorn behind to neighbours dumping rubbish next to communal bins, listeners tune in to share their own most shocking run-ins with littering adults. The team dissects whether this behavior stems from laziness, entitlement, or a deeper lack of community respect in modern society. Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.   Hear what the Word on the Street is, test your skills with the high-pressure 6 Out of 6, and get ready to be entertained.    Thank you for listening to an Afternoons with Zweli podcast   Listen live on Primedia+ weekdays from 12:00 to 15:00 (SA Time) to Afternoons with Zweli broadcast on 947 https://www.primediaplus.com/station/947   For more from the show go to https://buff.ly/FeeL6wY or find all the catch-up podcasts here https://buff.ly/pRBikjo   Subscribe to the 947 Weekly Newsletter here https://buff.ly/hf9IuR9   Follow us on social media   947 on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/947Joburg/   947 on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@947joburg   947 on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/947joburg   947 on X https://x.com/947    947 on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@947Joburg  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
