    Sometimes I'll get some paper or a sack blow down here that got away after trash day but I have only had to pick up about 8 cans or bottles in 20 years .
    Had a truck come down the road pushing a grocery cart in front of it smacked into the guardrail at the end , I don't know what that goofy azz was doing , he took off fast I didn't get a license num , had the cops take care of the cart , I guess they called the store and someone came got it.

    My mother lives on a state highway. It's just part of the routine-pick up a handful of bottles and cans before I even take the mower off the trailer.

    There are always beer cans all up and down my road front. It drives me absolutely nuts!

    Well luckily the neighbor owns the land all the way between my road and the next main road and has a lane all the way. That is especially good because the train blocks my crossing for hours at a time.

    Yes, I can easily picture what you have there. Trains can be good but can also cause problems.

    It could happen :D. Well, unless they know about all the "hardware" I have that would discourage such things.

    Took the fam for a lil outing at the zoo today...on the way home we are sitting behind a car at a red light...their door pops open and the guy dumps his ash tray full of butts out on the road. :headbang: I suppose it shouldn't surprise me, if you are willing to trash up your own lungs, I guess the street is fair game too :loco: :crazy:

    We have one access/ egress road for our development and the trash got so bad a month ago one of our neighbor's put up a heavy duty gray garbage can with a sign saying, "this is for all you fast food jerks who won't take your garbage home." It lasted a week or so and the can is gone. Kids throw out whole bags of McDonalds, Wendy's and other fast food garbage. Then there's the other Einstein that leaves 100ft plus of double rubber stripes in the middle of the night. The road is behind my house and this jerks been doin it for 10 years. No one knows who it is.

    It was worse when we lived downstate. If you had a boat, the marina would have lots of White Eels floating in the morning.

    You'd have to be from NYC or The Bronx to get it. They are discarded c*nd*ms. I know, disgusting, but that's how it was from the 60s to the 80s.

    A guy I know is pretty bad about driving his truck down a particular road near me and doing this. You'll see 2 black wavy lines for 1/4 mile sometimes, and most of that stretch of road is more black than grey he does it so often! I don't know how he affords to keep buying tires.

    X2 on the cigarette butts going out the window, when I follow someone who does that at night time I flip my brights on for a mile or 2. I can't stand it when people throw butts out, just seeing all the embers glow going down the road when it hasn't rained in 2 weeks gets my blood boiling

    My son's only five but I've already started explaining to him time and again that there is no shortage of stupid people in the world and there never will be.

    He's known that for a year or two. I'm going to do all that I can within my power from raising another American idiot. I'll let some other parent do that.
