It’s just the way it be and people think it’s normal.
I live less than a mile from a boat launch at the lake and every Friday and Saturday night the subhuman trash show up and leave trash everywhere. I show up many weekend mornings and clean stuff up.

It pisses me off.

While walking with a friend in B'ham, we came across a pile of fresh crab shells. My friend remarked "I feel at home". We are both from Louisiana

I'll throw an apple core out of the window, but that's about it. Is that trashy? I figure a bird or some other animal will get it.

Apple core and banana peel ain’t trashy baw. I’m talking about the large gulp from racetrack or a water bottle or a whole mattress

No argument there. And it’s not a socioeconomic issue or a matter of upbringing. The utter lack of respect for “cleanliness” or maintenance is pervasive in this state. I don’t see it ever changing. Nor the states stereotype as a shithole.



The people tossing out trash on the roads obviously care about the cleanliness of their vehicles so they are not total sociopaths.

It's disgusting. How many times have you seen a Popeye's box with the bones in it in a Walmart parking lot 30 ft from a trash can?


I see this as well as canes boxes at red lights getting off interstate. Shreveport is pretty trashy anyway.

There is a significant portion of this state that just doesn’t give a shite about the state, others, or frankly themselves. Period. They don’t want to take care of themselves or anything they touch but rather want someone else too

I don’t think most litterers are intentionally littering. They just do lazy shitty things like throw trash/plastic in the back of their truck bed and it flies out on the interstate

Saw an old baw litter at the boat launch Friday. We had words over it and he was upset i Sassed him. His truck was still there when i got back so I filled the back of his truck up with garbage from around the launch.

I'm a redneck Bubba so I can say it and screw any Bubba who don't like it.

Bubbas throw shite in the back of his truck, knowing damn well it's gonna fly out once they pick up steam in their Bubba mobile.

But Bubba don't give a shite because if Bubba don't actually see it fly out, or he's doing 75 in a 55 headed to the lake, he'll act as though he didn't know it and no one will say shite about it.

More hard working Bubbas are to blame than poor white trash or poor black trash.

I really hate litterers. Throw your trash on your floorboard and clean your car out every couple of days. It’s so simple to avoid littering and trashy arse people just DGF.

I don’t know about banana peels but putting an apple core under your car seat acts as an air freshener. I tried it several times and it actually works! Just have to throw them in the trash bin occasionally ... it ain’t permanent. Lol

Exactly. None of them will ever clean out the trash from their beds so where does it end up? On the highway

It really is bad. What I don't understand is... How fricking hard is it to keep the trash in your vehicle and when you get home, take the trash and put it in the garbage.

People will throw shite out the window like its no big deal. And that goes for the cigarette smokers as well. Roadways are filled with cigarette butts..

But just as bad or maybe worst is the water ways. How fricking hard is it to put a few trash bags in your boat.. And to the people who throw their trash in the water, even if there is no trash bag, how fricking hard is it to just wait until you can throw it in the trash can. Just because you throw something in the water and it sinks (or like cans that you fill up so it can sink) and you can't see it, doesn't mean it just goes away.

How hard is it to not be a trashy frick?

Littering is one of the most absurd things that people do. America just has an abundance of really stupid people that don’t think beyond the moment.

No you didn’t. Try harder less.


Even if you had, he’d just drive off with it in the back of his truck and it would be all over the side of the road.
