It's littering. I don't care what you call it.

She keeps popping the keys out of all my keyboards and throwing them around in different rooms!

Yeah, it's littering.

We have a celebration in this little town called "Watermelon Fest".
They might as well call it "Litter Fest" as there are so many people who dont have any respect for private property.

Regardless of the many garbage cans put out for just that purpose.

It's also considered littering when you throw "treats" to my horses that they don't eat.
Horses don't eat potatoes, tomatoes, watermelon rind, or any kind of meat. Throw it in the trash... not the pasture.

I had a lawn mowing company put a business card in my mail box. Of course, my grass was about knee high..................

But, that is actually not any of their business unless I have hired them to cut the grass.

I called them up and told them that I really did not want any one cutting my grass that did not have the (anatomy part) to come to the door and knock to talk to me. AND, if they put anything else in my mail box with out postage on it, it better not have a phone number on it either. The PO will be calling them next, not me !

And....... I have cleaned up beer bottles that are broken in my driveway 3 times in the last week. I highly suspect that the teen-aged boys across the street are doing that while I am at work. (Their mom goes to court next Tuesday about the family dog not staying home. My friend down the street and myself are tired of the dog harassing our dogs/chickens/cats/kids you name it.)

I suppose breaking a beer bottle in my driveway is considered littering, among other things........

Oh how I heard you loud and clear!

We have 10.5 acres in the country. The entire front part of that borders the road. Country road (at least a paved one!!). I hate mowing the grass beside the road, because I have to spend an hour picking up the trash first! I've considered putting trash cans along the road.

Unfortunately two of the horse pastures are on each side of the house. Luckily we put the fence back further than I had planned, or that crap would end up in my pastures! I don't need a vet bill for a horse eating the styrofoam coolers, beer cans, etc. And yes, I have a stupid horse that would eat it!

At the place we use to board our horses, people would throw pumpkins, watermelons, etc into the pastures. Luckily the horses loved eating those things, but not one person ever asked me if it was OK, or let a note there, etc. I wish I could have caught whoever was doing it!

BTW, my horses all love watermelon, cantilope, apples, pumpkins, squash, etc. Two of them HATE carrots though!

I'd much rather someone put a card in my mailbox than knock on my door, to be honest. Drop off a flyer, and I can look at it whenever I want and choose to act on it or throw it away. Unexpected people at my front door are pretty much never welcome, unless they're holding a giant check from Ed McMahon.

I am the type that would much rather see them face to face and tell them the grass is doing pretty much just what I want it to do, GROWING.

Besides, I do not want anyone in mailbox, period. What is in my mailbox, is just not any of their business. And since the name of the mowing company started with the word REDNECK I certainly don't want them doing ANYTHING in my mailbox !

But, that is only my opinion......

I love my SO . . . last time we went grocery shopping and found a pamphlet (for a tanning salon) under our windshield, he told me to gather up all the little pieces of trash that I could find stuck under the car seats. He drove to the tanning salon, took the pamphlet and the trash I had gathered inside, and said, "Hi, y'all left some of your trash on our car window. I'm here to return the favor." He put the trash on their counter and left.

I love it ! What an appropriate response to an unsolicited piece of trash....

I hope he had a happy fathers day !
