Litter Bug Stories

Do you ever throw trash out your car window onto other people's lawns? I don't either but unfortunately I live on a corner, where some people think this is acceptable behavior. It makes me have weird fantasies where I can arrest these creeps and then sentence them to picking up trash in giant litter bug costumes. I said it was weird.

Most of the time, the trash people leave are fast food drink cups. They don't want them littering their cars but my lawn seems perfectly acceptable.

We often find empty beer cans and nips of hard liquor. I figure if you are drinking in the car you are probably not making good decisions. Littering is just one of them. Once I found 8 unopened beer cans on my front lawn. What was the thinking there? I don't want my parents finding the beer. Let's store it on this nice lawn. We can get it later.
The weirdest thing I found on my lawn was a giant double sided dildo. I kid you not. I made Dave get out of bed, the morning I found that beauty on the lawn. I had to make sure I was not hallucinating and I made him dispose of it. He got a plastic bag and dish washing gloves. He threw everything away including the gloves. What kind of argument must have taken place to cause someone to throw that out of the window? I can't believe you called me fat/cheated on me/forgot to pick up the dry cleaning. You don't deserve to play with this "toy" anymore.

Do you ever find trash on your lawn? Can anyone beat me for weirdest find?

Ha!! I live on a corner too and all sorts of things have been tossed on my lawn, but I absolutely cannot beat you for weirdest or possibly grossest litter. Ewww....

I love this idea, only it's dog walkers and their puppy poop in our neighborhood. But, the trash in your yard is bizarre.

Your imagined conversation cracks me up!

In my last house, the neighborhood teens used to hide their beer behind my shed in the corner of my backyard. After I took it and threw it away a few times, they got the hint.

My husband likes to tell of the time that his brother fell asleep on the parking strip and someone came to their door to tell them a dead man was outside. I guess he's a really heavy sleeper! But I think your find still tops that.

You win! The litter dropped on my lawn is completely boring.

I hate when people litter! I don't find a lot of trash in my yard but there is a lot of litter at the base pool. Drives me nuts.
