Usually, graduations are a time for celebration, and there’s nothing wrong with that, except for when those events affect people or places. One such case happened this week at Balboa Park in San Diego, California, where a student went to take pictures and used golden confetti. Normally, this wouldn’t be an issue. However, according to people who visited the park, the person didn’t even bother to clean up after them, leaving a whole lot of confetti in a public area that, ideally, should be clean for everyone to enjoy.
Icy_Beautiful1683 is the Reddit user who shared the pictures. In them, you can see a bunch of confetti spread across Balboa Park in San Diego. The kicker is that this person or people, assuming there were many, didn’t clean after taking the pictures.
The OP of the Reddit post said the following: “Not only did your confetti bomb sound like a gunshot, you didn’t even have the decency to clean it up.” If true, there are two wrong things here. First, using a confetti bomb in a public place is not a great idea. Balboa Park is a public area, so having a confetti bomb go off there could bother many of the visitors. Two, and the biggest one: the confetti litter. While many might not have issues with people throwing confetti around, the fact that they didn’t clean makes this a terrible thing.
As expected, those who saw the post had many things to say to the culprit or culprits:
“What I wouldn’t give to watch someone immediately get a $1,000 citation for this.” – night-shark via Reddit.
“I see this kind of plastic confetti constantly at Mission Bay Park. People, it doesn’t just dissolve or decompose.” – TestFlyJets via Reddit.
Both of them are right about it all. First, this is littering, and as we know, fines usually go from $100 to $1,000, so it is a serious matter. Two, confetti doesn’t go away on its own. It is a hazard that everyone should clean.
Right now, there isn’t information about who the culprits were. The OP didn’t provide any names or details about them.
