Around here, it means that the local punks have switched to something lighter. I am forever picking up empty beer bottles, soda bottles, McDonald's wrappers (there's one down the street)

One time we spent an entire Saturday picking up litter and filled a whole 55 gallon trash can and no sooner did we enter the house does a new bottle show up on our lawn Imagine if you will a very tired sunburned white female chasing down a gang banger and demanding him to return to my yard and pick up the bottle I witnessed him toss! The guy looked at me shocked and turn right around and picked it up... I think he respected me in as much as he could respect someone.

So, being that I live in the city (well, the outskirts) we do not have milk jugs on lawns as a common site... is this a rural thing?
