In all of the cases I see this kind of behavior in, there is enough availability in the rest of the AC. These are probably the same people that don't want their cigaretter smoke in their car, so they hold it out the window toward your car. This is especially bad if they are in an big SUV and you are in a Miata with the top down, because they don't give a damn where the ashes go.
This is no different than the people who don't turn their phones off, even after the 5th announcement, the ones who turn their phones on while the aircraft is on final and hasn't landed yet and the ones who stand up before the fasten seat belt sign is off. I always want to ask them what is so important that they can't follow the rules. Is a minute longer really going to matter that much? I think it is because it is a "me" society now, and there are people who just DGAS, that think that the rules don't apply to them! They are probably also the cigarette smokers who flick their butt out the window, but think that they are not littering.
