Trash Talk

Here’s a subject you may notice I feel kind of strongly about…littering. It really pisses me off to see someone throw trash. I think it goes back to that “I’m special/My needs are more important than yours” mentality. It’s low-class. I really think a trashy area paves the way for other stuff like hopelessness, lack of civility, and crime.

I noticed a guy throwing trash out of his car this morning. Except for the fact that he looked like he’d pull a gun on me, I wanted to pull up and yell at him. Then I thought to myself “yeah, self, rolling down the window and calling him a litterbug is really gonna insult him.” So then I started thinking, we need something stronger than “litterbug”. My first thought was “litterf*ck” but I don’t really think that gets the point across. How about “Mother f*cking, trash throwing, son of a b*tch” That might do it. (Although, all that cursing might be construed as low-class and a lack of civility, but would this be an instance of fighting fire with fire? Or “speaking in a language they understand”?)

All I’m sayin’ is, I hate litterbugs and think there should be some karmic equivalent of shoving whatever they litter right back up their a$$es.
