I included it because I recently tried throwing a supermarket receipt in a trash can outside the store. It was a trash can with some sort of roof over it and openings in the side. My hand with the receipt was inside the trash can, underneath the roof. Can't get more inside the trash can without touching trash. I let go, and a gust of wind blew it out of the trash can.

That sort of thing hurts. I feel deeply betrayed by the wind thwarting my attempt to properly dispose of that receipt, and that diminishes my sense of responsibility to go after that receipt and still throw it away properly. (Although I think in this particular case I still did.)
