Some people are Pigs

[Jstpssng]

Actually that's an insult to the species; I've never seen a piglet's dirty diaper dumped in a parking lot on a hot summer's day. :thumbdown: What would be so difficult about walking 50 feet to put it in a trash container?

In 14 years of traveling with a dog I have never left piles of s*** in a public place, and it really gets my goat up when I step out of my truck onto somebody's dirty diaper.

Sorry, end of rant.

I hope that doesn't happen too often. You will really be in trouble if it happens to you near a bingo hall.

Took me a second to get the bingo hall one:laughing:

Looking at parking lots tells one a lot about society.
I think American society is going to hades in many ways, people don't bother to park straight between the lines, don't care if they smack your car with their door, don't bother to put the buggy back in the corral and yes drop their kiddie's used diapers on the spot

good point. I'll pay close attention when I'm around one of them.

We lived in Switzerland for about 4 years, so this sort of thing probably disgusts us more than it does a lot of people who have lived only in the US.

The roadside trash just wasn't.
Spitting on the sidewalk was rare ("visitors").

Perhaps a bit extreme, but I know one American who was admonished by neighbors for washing a car on Sunday morning and making a messy lather in the apartment parking lot.
Don't know if it was because he made the lather, or failed to wash it away afterward, but of course he didn't speak or understand any of the local languages, so it was communicated largely in gestures.

BTW in several European countries you CAN get ticketed for idling your car for more than a minute at railroad crossings or when live parking at the curb, e.g. waiting to pick someone up.

More likely because it was Sunday. Sunday is 'ruhetag', meaning a quiet, restful period. Probably has it's origins as in 'Sunday is a day of rest', but it's not really a religious thing anymore.

How many times have you seen someone eat on a bus under the NO EATING SIGN and just leave the bag of mc D on the seat or floor, get off at a stop and pass a trash can? Cant not sit on a bench, have to sit on the top of the back rest with their feet on the bench. And I can go on and on.

What would be so difficult about walking 50 feet to put it in a trash container?

That would require some effort. Just as it would require some effort to take the beer cans home that are tossed on my property everyday that I have to pickup while walking the dogs. Not to mention used car tires, fast food waste, assorted other trash, and kittens.

I don't like frivilous rules, but I have no problem with extreme punishment for public littering. I used to live in Vermont and litter is extremely rare. NH was not bad either. I'm in Idaho now and that is fairly clean too. Caning for litterers and flogging for anyone that abandons kittens is fine by me. Also, confiscatory fines and indentured servitude is not out of line.

or worser yet they'll throw them into the Dang shopping cart knowing darn good-n-well someone will have to remove it,
we all know what society of people is responsible for doing these acts the same one's who goes in the closets and basements of newly constructed home, when there are port-a-potties outside, we know who they are and another good reason to deport them :thumbsup:
