While gross, they are generally not possibly covered in an infectious disease that can kill people. The people who now have to go and pick up possibly contaminated gloves and masks are being put a even higher risk AGAIN, in a way that a dirty diaper does not. This is no longer about littering, but about endangering lives.
I do, every fucking time. We also make an effort not to touch our faces, not to touch things we don’t plan to buy, and we take off our masks and gloves, wipe our hands down and dispose of them in a bag we bring home with us to throw away at home, because we’re not monsters who don’t give a shit about others.
