I walk down to the corner Mexi-mart for just two things: paper towels, and to use the water machine. After dragging 3 gallons of water back home it hits me… I left the bag of paper towels on top of the machine. I sigh, then run back. Run run run. Then I hit an intersection just as the light turns red. And I wait. Wait wait wait. Wait wait wait. Wait. Waaaaaaaaait. Wait so long that the extremely slow pedestrian couple I ran past more than a block and a half ago has caught up to me. As I'm finally allowed to cross, a man on a bicycle rides fast down the street, with a bag hanging off the handle. It's unmistakable. There's only one item in it: a 3-pack of paper towels.

Can I really hate someone for scavenging a seemingly abandoned item, especially one so meaningless as paper towels?

Yes I can.
