Really pisses me off. I live on an old golf course right on one of the remaining ponds and it pisses me off to no end when people throw shit in the water. Today I found a big soft shell turtle (I have seen him for years) floating dead stuck in a................................................fucking pair of pants! Had to fish it out, man was I pissed off! When I am out fishing, snorkeling, and such I always collect trash in the waterways. Just boggles my mind.

I went to Kentucky a couple weeks ago to try and find some places that I had heard my grandma talk about my whole life and while I was down there the sight of trash along the roads and in the creeks just tore me up. I'm guessing since there are so many hills and curves in the area my family is from that they can't really have road crews that drive around and collect trash but damn it's sad. There is such nice scenery in this area and the amount of trash would just boggle your mind.

There really isn't an excuse for littering besides "I'm a lazy stupid ****". When I see beer cans and shit thrown all over my property by the road it just pisses me off. Who the fuck does that?

Agree 100%. I fish the bays alot and I continuously pick up trash floating around an an caught up in the mangrove shorelines. With out a doubt it really pisses me of how lazy some assholes can be.

I've seen more trash lately around the Columbus metro area than ever before but it still doesn't compare to Atlanta. I was down Atl way 2 yrs ago and it was kinda windy and there were several trash tornados going on.

I had a whole rant about littering on Facebook a few weeks ago.

It's amazing what I find on. the road by my house, which is kind of wooded, when I clean it up.

PIGS.

Unfortunately it isn't just Kentucky. Where my parents live the roads in the hills are absolute trash holes. I've seen people dump grocery bags of garbage from their truck near their driveway gate. I can't even walk their dogs more than a few hundred feet without them getting into some sort of litter. It isn't as if there is a clean-up crew, the garbage stays there until it decomposes (which beer cans don't tend to do) or one of the locals cleans it up. It is crazy how this behavior is tolerated in that part of the country.
