To the guy littering in the Gander Mountain parking lot

[Deer_Slayer_90]

As an outdoorsman I can say I try to make a place cleaner when I leave than when I got there...just to do my part...but I do drive a 1974 el camino that gets about 7 miles per gallon!!!!

They no doubt had In God We Trust plates. People with those plates do the dumbest things while driving.

those plates are just the standerd indiana plate for certain counties. i got them on my cars. i didnt ask for them. they are just the standerd issue design.

The older (and crabbier) I get the more littering (and not using turn signals and not stopping at stop signs) drives me around the bend. I'm not sure why, but I think it's something so easily not done that it can't be excused.

Speeding? Bah, it happens and as long as people are not complete morons I could care less, but not signalling makes me nuts. Go figure. I think I just hate the self-centeredness of not signalling. This road is for ME and the universe revolves around ME.

I was downtown Indy last week for work and while walking down the sidewalk stopped to pick up a coffee cup. A woman asked me why I was doing that because I was "with the Mayor's office".

I said no, I just didn't want the place to turn into Detroit.

Anyone ever have the driver of a car in front of them flip a still lit cigarette out the window and it bounces off the hood of your car? Talk about pissing someone off...


Lots of dumb people out there...

Actually, YES!... Had a guy in front of me on 31 throw his cigarette out the window. It splattered right on my windshield. Luckily the light turned red so I had a chance to ask him about it. I switched lanes and pulled up beside him and POLITELY asked him if he "had a F***ING ashtray in car" He looked at me in disbelief and sped off...ignoring the still red light.

Oh, no. I'll do you one better. How about getting hit by one while you are on the motorcycle, it going in your jacket and setting your shirt on fire? If I hadn't had to stop to put the fire out, I would probably in be jail for manslaughter right now I see it at night all of the time and I flick my lights at them when I see it.

I volunteer to manage a small private nature preserve for a nationwide non-profit and we get thousands of visitors a year. We prosecute folks we catch littering or leaving graffiti. I am heartily sick and tired of cleaning up other people's trash and vandalism, and there's been more than one person who has had the fear of god put into them because of it. We send the ones we catch to the prosecutor and in addition give them the choice of civil litigation or spending an afternoon cleaning up other folks garbage and graffiti.

I have had a couple bounce off my helmet back when I rode. grrrrr

My . I'm waiting on the day to find a name & address!!
I live in the country & have people throwing trash out on the roadside ALL the time. Some of it ends up in my hayfields. Pizza boxes,beer cans, bottles, food wrappers, condoms, feminine hygiene stuff, etc. Wear rubber gloves just to be safe.
I usually clean it up during the week & a day later....TRASHED AGAIN!!! Weekends are the worst.
They better hope I never see them do it or

I have returned people's garbage, with interest, on more than one occasion. On another occasion they had canceled checks, credit card receipts, mail, etc as well. I wonder if they were surprised at the things that they ordered to be sent to their house? What makes it more egregious was the fact that they lived equidistant between me and the county transfer station which at the time was open 24 hours a day.

Other than shilbumiseeker (who returns people's trash) and Frank (who writes them tickets) after you say something to these people and they ignore you and speed off, do you go back and pick up their trash or wait for the next guy to do it? Just wondering because I for one am not going to stop, turn around, and go pick up someone elses trash. Now if the trash is on my property its a different story. I'm sorry but one person picking up someone else's trash is not going to change a thing.. therefore we need another INGO trash pickup day.

I pick up other people's trash on my property, the properties I help manage, and out in nature. Out in public I refuse. If society wants to live in a garbage pit that's all the more reason I don't live in those places.

I guess I should add I'll also pick up someones trash out in nature especially when I'm fishing. I hate more than anything when I real in someone elses fishing line they decided to throw overboard.

in their defense, if your fishing like three people in a canoe, it gets pretty tipsy and stuff you never intended to get rid of like that 20 dollar lure you just bought, goes overboard.
