Toss in trash (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The parking lot at Safeway was littered with gloves last week.


Yes, trash. You have to wonder what is wrong with some people when they think it's ok to just drop their trash on the ground.


Absolutely.
I've picked up litter and handed it back to litterbugs.
Plain ignorance.
My wife and kids say I'll get shot someday.
Not touching anything these days.

I hate litterbugs and always have. Shows a complete lack of respect for people and the community. If it were me sitting on the bench in court, any litterbug would be fined $5K and 500 hours community service cleaning the streets and highways. Can't pay, go sit in jail for 90 days actual and then do your 500 hours.

I get pissed off when I see people let their dogs shit
anywhere and don’t pick it up....
Even worse are those that do pick it up and drop the
bag and walk away...
I’ve confronted people and they say..We were gonna
pick it up on the way back... Yeah, it is still there the
next day....


same here, it drives me crazy and have confronted litter butts before, one was a guy throwing his cigarette butt half burned still burning on the ground, asked him if he was going to pick that up, I got out picked it up and threw it in his car, asked him if he didn't like it maybe he'd prefer a $500 fine, the other was a guy leaving their dog shit bag on the road in front of our house(gated community) - followed them home and threw it on their yard so they could see it. NO I an not putting up with that crap especially in my neighborhood. I have to say I have not seen gloves discarded in parking lots around here like you guy have seen in your areas, but in general there I have found over the years there is a general lack of care from certain back grounds of people, both socio-economical but also just culturally and continentally. but I have to say if you go to my home town in MN, and I observed this many years ago, and it is still true, and that is either Scandinavian or German heritage peoples tend to have a heritage and pride about cleanliness. Even in the poorest areas of my home town, you didn't ever see trash or junk in the yard. A car that broke down was removed not left, the yard is well kept, the house clean and maintained, no matter how poor they are, but that kind of behavior is to much a degree taught, learned. Why do we need rules in a community or a gated neighborhood that requires people to do this?? because they were not taught this, and it was not part of their heritage. in fact growing up in the mid-west I never saw the kind of trash in ditches and cars in yards etc until I move to the southeast(SC). it is an interesting sociological discussion. sorry for the rant, but I think if you really pay attention to this you will see it does follow a heritage or person group, not just necessarily a socio-economic groups. I have a friend that goes to other countries on mission work and has observed the same thing. He told me xxxxx country does not have a culture of what he called "maintaining". if it breaks or quits, leave it on the side of the road, broken down crap all over the roads.
