Hate trash and trashy people. I refuse to let my kids throw things in the water or the woods. Had one of my daughter’s friends with us one time coming back from town. She rolled her window down and started to pitch something out.
I caught her, called her on it, and she just looked at me, attempted again to throw her trash out the window. My kids were all holding their breath. I said, “Do it and I will stop this car right here in front of God and everybody and you WILL go back and pick it up.”
Her response? She looked at my kids, who were all about to die laughing, met my eyes in the rearview, and rolled her window back up.
Thanks for cleaning up! People look at you weird when you do, but oh well...

A few do, but on that day is was kind of amazing to watch the people, who previously just walked by the trash like it was supposed to be there, actually ask me for a garbage bag to help pick it up.
I think the trash really bothers people but when they see it, it just doesn’t seem to dawn on them that THEY could pick it up and not leave it for the janitor.(so to speak)
It was an interesting trip.
