[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MYOB is just another variation of Don’t Snitch.
There is a reason some communities are nice, and don’t experience much crime. 
Sure, what’s the harm using the public park for your family reunion? It’s not a big deal. It’s not hurting anyone.
Why does it matter if a couple of kids use the pool without passes? It doesn’t really matter.
So what if someone eats last night’s lasagne on the metro? It’s not really my concern.
But that’s not true. 
We have rules and guidelines for a reason. It’s never just one person. If every Weekend has people partying and trashing the park, it ruins the park for all. If the pool is overrun with unsupervised kids, it ruins the pool for everyone. If everyone eats on the train, it ruins the train for everyone. 
Communities with the mantra “worry about yourself” tend to not be the places posters coo over on the real estate forum.

"Snitch" is the term only criminals use.[/quote]

It’s not.[/quote]

It is not your job to enforce the rules. Contact law enforcement if
someone is breaking a rule that is endangering someone. Or MYOB.

So only rules or laws where people are endangered should be enforced?   If you contact law enforcement for a minor offense, you will make intl news as the next BBQ Becky "policing the bodies of POCs".  I would have thought that reminding the employee that we are all noticing her infraction would have been enough to make her put it away.  You'd rather have the Metro Police?  [/quote]
