This morning while walking my dog we were nearly hit by this giant SUV as it turned the corner. It stopped right in front of us and then just stayed there. The driver seemed to be fixated on his side mirror as I waited for my dog to finish her business and I cleaned it up. Was he looking at me? What was he doing?
I proceeded to walk her down the other side of the street when the doorman from my building yelled at me from across the street to tell me he had a dog bag for me to put my dog’s waste in. I held up the paper I had already used and said thanks. When I came back to the building, the doorman informed me that the guy in the fancy gray SUV is a spy for the local government, looking to see if anyone dumps any garbage on the street. He told me to be careful with dog waste and to not let this guy catch me throwing anything on the ground. Apparently the doorman has had run-ins with this plainclothes pollution police officer, since the guy claims to be looking out for litterbugs but throws his own cigarette butts on the ground. I am all for less litter, but driving around in an SUV and spying?

I got caught for littering once. It was outside the DMV in Shilin. The guy gave me a ticket, but I never paid it, and I never will.

And can you imagine the sort of litter that would be left if this guy had hit you and your dog? My guess is that he’d hightail it out of there and never even have the common courtesy to clean you off the road.
