Trash

What is with people throwing their trash out car windows? I've ranted and raved elsewhere about random gripes, including throwing your cigarette butt out the window, but I would like to extend my displeasure to all those out there that think it's cool to just throw trash out your car window. It's not cool, I can assure you.

Being a homeowner has skewed my thinking on this somewhat. I've grown quite tired of finding cups from random places end up in my yard. Broken bottles in the grass is also no fun as you have no idea where those bottles have been, nor does one want to run one over with their lawnmower because it rained too much during the previous week and now the grass is hiding the bottle.

I will say that perhaps the neighbors trash is ending up on one side of the yard (they're a bit white trash, but almost respectable...), but on the other side of our property there is always something random that ends up in the grass or my easement (sp?, don't feel like looking it up, yeah, I'm lazy right now). It's most likely a product of living somewhat close to an east/west thoroughfare. I just can't imagine living next to a "major" intersection having to deal with all the disgusting shit that will invariably end up in your yard.

In sum, it is NOT ok to throw garbage out your window, even napkins from the taco bell into which you've deposited your gum. Cars should have small garbage receptacles (other than the ashtray) which you can line with any standard grocery bag. The forethought required to keep a small garbage bag for long roadtrips is not that great and the amount of time between where you currently are and a place where you can throw things away isn't that long of a distance where you can deposit your trash.

Oh, throwing trash in the woods at the frisbee golf course is stupid. There are garbage cans at both courses in Evansville.
