so someone brought up this picture that i posted in facebook last march.  it's a photo showing trash right under a sign that says, "PLS. DO NOT THROW YOUR GARBAGE HERE."  beside that is a van parked right next to this sign that says, "PLEASE DO NOT BLOCK THE DRIVEWAY."

both the trash and the van belong to the same household.  both the trash and the van were on an alley that is public property.  it's not like i went inside someone's house and took a picture of their trash.  it's not like i went into someone's garage and took a picture of their vehicle.  i took a picture of something in plain view at a public place.

the woman of the house asked whether i posted the photo to shame them.

eh?  she finds it shameful?  then why do it at all?  repeatedly at that.  were they doing it knowing it is shameful or were they suddenly ashamed only because it came out in social media?

the sight is right along the way of at least five houses.  unless you don't leave your house, there is no way you cannot not pass it.

if you have no qualms about treating your neighbors and anyone else who passes there to the sight then why suddenly turn bashful when the view appears on facebook?

i ran out of patience that day so i posted the pic.  i actually have so much more i've never posted.  (i take pics of anything and everything.  i've been like that for years.)  if it shames anyone then that is incidental.

should i have been considerate enough to suppress the pic?  well, these people have been inconsiderate for years.  they should be able to take what they dish.

you do something brazen in public don't suddenly turn coy and expect it to be kept private.
