You’re on your way into the office, casually sipping your coffee as you wait for the bus to arrive. It pulls up, and you take the last sips, pausing to quickly pour the dregs into a drain before you get on board. Pretty innocent, normal behavior right?
In fact, taking the time to pour the dregs into the drain rather than simply emptying it onto the pavement is arguably going out of your way to be considerate. Well, not in Richmond, London. Earlier this month Burcu Yesilyurt did just that, only to be accosted by a gang of “enforcement officers” who slapped her with a $200 (£150) on-the-spot fine.
