Things That Annoy Me Thursday: Littering

I’m always surprised when I’m behind a car and I see them roll down their window and toss out trash.

I mean, how lazy can you get?

How disgusting can you get?

I notice a lot of people like to toss their empty plastic soda bottles out their windows. Or fast food bags.

Here’s an idea: find a trash and put it in there.

I don’t care if you don’t want trash in your car. The world doesn’t want trash on it. Thanks.

I always wish that the trash will bounce back up and smack the person who threw it out in the face.

Because that would be hilarious.

  3. Arrgggh....my fist automatically assumed the position for a throat punch when I saw the word "litter". Drives me frickin insane. I want to follow the person home and throw garbage around Their Home! but then I think....there probably is already garbage there anyway because They Are Lazy Slobs!
    *whew* Thanks...feel better.

  5. Seriously, how hard is it wait until you get home (or where ever you are going) to throw out your trash. I made a little homemade garbage can for my car out of a clorox wipes container with a small plastic bag inside. It makes it so much cleaner in the car!

  6. It can be like the one commercial awhile back where one man was picking up someone else's trash. At the end of the commercial there was a tree made out of the trash on the man's car

  8. Where are the cops when you need them? Littering is illegal, I thought. You'd get like a $500 fine if you were caught littering. So these litterers need to be caught!

  9. I totally agree! People should be more responsible about their litter - we need to take care of the planet!

  10. Some people are just disgusting, and I too wish the garbage would bounce back up and smack them in the face.

  11. I absolutely agree. I was once in a car with a woman and her daughter and we were stopped in a parking lot. Not only did her daughter think nothing of throwing litter out the window (of a parked car) but her mother didn't call her out on it!

  12. We used to live on a corner lot next to the road, and people were always throwing their garbage out in our yard. Beer bottles, soda bottles, fast food bags...you name it. So gross.

  13. Remember back in the 70s-early 80s (well, maybe you don't, you're YOUNG) the whole stop-littering PSA's? "Give a hoot, don't pollute!" My husband and I laugh when we watch Mad Men and there's all that littering involved. We remember what that was like! Beer cans out the window while driving! It's hard to believe that people STILL litter. It's so passe.

  14. The fines in Europe are so steep for littering, and frankly, you just don't ever see trash on the ground. Like EVER!! It's so clean and lovely here.

    It's going to be a nasty culture shock when we go back to the States. I hope it's not anytime soon!!!!

  15. I honestly haven't seen that kind of behavior in a very long time. Hope it's not making a comeback!

  16. Taking away their drivers license would straighten them up in a hurry (geven back only after they clean a couple miles of the side of any road).

  17. I know! It bugs me too! I want to pull up next to the offenders and say something like, "PIG!!" or, "Who is going to clean up after YOU?" but I'm afraid they'll have a gun and shoot me for shooting off my mouth!

  18. Seriously? Did they never see the PSA with the Indian and the tear rolling down his cheek as he surveyed all the trash on the road?

  19. Oh how I feel the same way. Years ago I was in the parking lot of Taco Bell eating a quick lunch in my car. There was a car next to me, and the driver was also eating in his car. Then, the moron rolled down his window and dumped ALL his trash and cup right in the parking lot. I was so pissed at this loser.
    I mean, is it THAT hard to wait for a trash can??

  20. A friend of mine saw someone throw a half-empty carton of chips out of the window. But they got stuck at the traffic light and she threw it back in through their window! Wish I were so brave...
