Man dies while littering

A man deliberately dropped a empty pack of batteries on the ground today and didn't pick it up. Then he walked into the middle of the street almost getting hit by a car as he crossed, without looking.

Now, a list of virtual scenario's that I wished had happened based on delayed thinking in a moment of disbelief :

After the rude and inconsiderate man toward nature and the surrounding environment which he has forgotten that he shares with other people drops the empty pack of batteries on the side of the street I say, 'excuse me, you dropped this.', lifting the discarded trash to him. At this point several things could have happened :
1. he ignores me and walks into the street and gets hit by the car.
2. he is embarrassed and takes it back and throws it into a nearby garbage can, looks onto oncoming traffic and does not attempt to run across the street but rather calmly and patiently rests until the green light is on his side.
3. he takes the trash I give him and throws it back on the ground, walks into the street and gets hit by the car.
