They think they are better than other people. They don't see others as worthy of their consideration. “Am I the only one who is sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us?” - advisor to the President Stephen Miller

Ah, you're describing Moral licensing, and that's entirely plausible.

In this case it's "Littering is bad, but there's no trash cans here and I'm a generally good person so, just this once."

Except I suspect that "once" is really "every so often."
