I got out some of my frustrations

A couple threw a large bag of fast food trash out their car window at the park as I was walking by. So I picked it all up and threw it back in the car window, somehow my day feels better.

I went home, got a trash bag, scooped it all up and dumped it in the patio of a nearby home with a note: next time you leave your trash in the road, don't include a notice with your address in it. PIG.

He got out, noticed I was more than twice his size. He got back in the car and told her to STFU.

a guy cut him off in a parking lot, my brother got out of his car - "The Refridgerator" William Perry got out of the other car - my brother jumped back into his car

I finally sat at the front window and looked out every time I heard a car. I saw the person toss the trash and I ran to pick it up and hopped in my car hoping to catch up. Thankfully I caught up to him and honked u til he pulled over. I ran up to his car and apologized for bothering him, but I saw that he dropped something and I was sure he would want it!

Never had trash thrown in my front yard again.

and people throw trash in our front yard from their cars quite often. There a line of trees on my property along the road so they probably think no one will see. We have to clean it up every couple weeks. Usually it’s a drink can or bottle but sometimes it’s a fast food bag full of trash. Once we found a cardboard case box with 12 empty beer bottles. I would never throw trash out my car window into someone’s yard! People these days.

collect the trash that appears out of nowhere, put it in an Amazon box, tape it up and leave it on your doorstep.

Some nice person will come and collect it.
