I was at a stop light once in El Paso TX. A woman in front of me threw some trash out of her window. I quickly slammed my car in park...ran up...grabbed the trash and threw it back in her open window yelling that America isn't a trash can if she couldn't put her trash in the appropriate place then to go back to Mexico. Boy did she drive off quickly from the crazy blonde Americano. :D

This was quite a few years ago, but a man pulled up to the curb on our street to park his car. When he got out of the car he threw the bag, the papers, his leftover french fries and the drink cup in the street. Then he proceeded to walk up the street.
However, he had left his car window down.
When he returned - INSIDE his car was a paper bag, lots of loose french fries, hamburger wrappings and a drink cup.
Gosh I wonder how they got back inside the car??:D :D
Try living next to a highschool.
Our yard is perfectly clean in the summer, due to no school. When school starts, there are ciggarette butts, milk cartons, school papers, cheeto bags, anything you can think of. I've even found some detentions... :rolleyes:
Needless to say, about once a week we have to go out and clean up the mess. It drives me INSANE!!
Carole,
That is MY one pet peeve as well. That's also why the inside of my car looks like a rolling trash can.
I was on my way home last night and saw someone just toss out a bottle wrapped in a brown bag onto the green. GRRRRR!!!!! :mad: What stupid people!! What does it take to wait till you find a trash can??? There are plenty of them all over the place!!!
what i do is pick up the trash and run up to the person and say it as nicely as possible,
"i saw that you dropped this...." hand it back to them and walk away quickly.....
gini,
reverse gravity??????? lololoololololol:)
Gosh some of you are very brave, good on you.
I remember waiting outside the medical centre for my mother recently, a little girl about 5 came out and asked me if I knew where a rubbish bin was, I said just over there, when she returned I commented to her WHAT A TIDY KIWI you are, she beamed from ear to ear.
Honestly though I was impressed, our schools promote being a TIDY KIWI, and protecting our environment, and obviously this and good parenting paid off in this child's case.
Now to educate the ADULTS.
OH MY GOODNESS! Those are all my pet peeves.
I HATE when people throw their cigarette buds on the ground,
trash, and I also hate seeing graffiti.
I also think it is disgusting when a person
coughs up a big wad of spit and spits on the ground.
It makes this beautiful land look like a dump!!
Not to mention how it harms ecology.
Why are people such inconsiderate slobs????
