Everyone get in here because I need to ask you something important

PrintWhat am I supposed to be doing with my peanut shells at the game? Since the dawn of time, I've just been throwing them on the ground. Is this correct? I know it causes a dreadful mess, and sometimes people look at me like I am an animal, but I am not sure if there's any correlation there.
I enjoy the satisfying crunch of peanut shells under my shoes, especially if they are in a pile that I alone have constructed. I think to myself, "What a grand creation I have birthed," and marvel at how gratifying it is to crush such a formidable pile underneath my weight. I only wish I could do it more often.
On the other hand, I am making work for someone that the Padres probably don't want to be paying and I am polluting our beautiful park. Am I costing the Padres a deal with Donovan Tate because they're cleaning up my mess? Are the particles being released from shattered peanut shells enhancing the PETCO park factor?
Tell me what to do.

I voted for on the ground
But I would also suggest saving them up to chuck at Foul Ball Guy.
Drama is an a-hole.

where is the option for
in the hair of the opposing fan in front of you
The Padres are going to be paying that cleanup guy anyway
You are just giving him something to do.
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
By sea, of course.
What are we, in San Diego for nothing?

Sorry for not having a poll that makes you feel like an a__hole with every answer. doingitwrong, I know.
Honestly, this question was plaguing me.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

...a_hole with every answer.
Not sure there is any correlation there either!
Years ago I used to work in a “joint” that had a barrel o peanuts in the corner. Some customers had an awful time throwing the used shells on the floor and would accumulate them in a “tidy” pile on the table. I would tell them that I get paid $2 an hour plus whatever their generosity or lack thereof extended to in the form of a tip! Not only was I not interested in cleaning it up myself but next week when they show up and there is a little mexican standing outside with a cup… that’s the guy that used to sweep up in here! Then I would make them swoosh it on the floor themselves.
Besdies have you seen the dugout floor when those animals are done!
"If the Padres lose (again) and no -one is watching, does it count in the standings?" ...anonymous confucious guy
Put it this way
If everyone hoarded their own waste, and responsibly threw it all away when they left, then PETCO would have probably 100 less employees. PETCO might not want the employees, but the country needs them.
Your mess is helping the ECONOMY!!
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
