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 get even more upset when you go into the woods and see beer cans and diapers. Really a shame on the human race. It justifies the bumper sticker on my truck thyat reads simply...."People Suck!"

Were you traveling in France by any chance? Hope our French TBNers don't take offense, but ...

I was shocked when I was in Paris, at the number of people that just walk up the side of a building and relieve themselves.

Business men, well off, walking along chatting and then...:confused2:

When people ask me what Paris was like, I say its one of the nicest rest rooms i've ever seen :laughing:

Also, every time I mow the entrance to our property I have to do a litter patrol first. There is always Mc'Ds trash, and the nearest one is at least 40 miles away. BK is even further and we still get their litter.

I think people traveling along the highway feel they need something to aim for when they throw their trash, and a driveway gives them that

The French are individuals, have to give them that

I'm sure driveways and mailboxes are used for litter targets. That's my litter experience too. Too many bottles end up near my mailbox for it to be coincidence. I have my anti-litter fantasies. They usually begin with a night vision scope

I agree. Our society has degraded to ignoring such breaches of law and etiquette allowing it to become almost acceptable. I have seen law enforcement officers cite violators who then complain about the citation and weak minded authorities, politicians and judges dismiss the tickets, which furthers the littering. Excuses, excuses

It's a real shame there would ever need to be litter laws. Etiquette is not what it used to be I have no proof, but my gut feeling is the majority of the littering is done by a fairly small group of people.

Sounds like The Pareto principle, or the 80-20 rule. 20% of the people cause 80% of the litter, but I'd bet it is more like 20% cause 100% of the litter. It applies to many parts of life, like 20% of the TBN posters contribute 80% of the posts.
