A family member of mine let some guy who knows a guy she knows park his vehicles on her property. She has 1 acre of land with it being mostly trees and flat land and various wildlife. I’ve seen coyotes, rabbits, possums, and more running around there and it’s a nice place to walk around to feel like you’re away from it all without the actual distance. Trees everywhere, most being taller than most buildings in the city.
So how does this asshole thank her? By littering his stupid crap everywhere.
The picture is a vape cartridge that was tossed into a seasonal pond. It’s a nice place to walk around when it’s not actually filled with water. Only for me to stumble on this crap in the middle of it. I think what enrages me even more is that this pond, when filled in the season, will be home to ducks and their families, as the young ducklings learn how to swim and fly before leaving on migration. So had I not found this and cleaned it, it’d have contributed to pollution for these new families using this as their home. Possibly even poisoning them, at worst.
Then I found a lighter thrown in the bushes somewhere and cigarette butts lying on the ground in random places. NO smokers have ever tainted this area with smoke paraphernalia until now. This land has been here forever and this asshole is the first to bring this unhealthy trash here. Not to mention this is an area that often deals with bad wildfires, so thanks for helping start the new wildfire! That’s just what this area needs.
Then I find empty water bottles crushed and thrown in random spots. All are the same brand of water the property owner buys. Which tells me that this is an additional way he’s showing gratitude. “Gee thanks not only for letting me use your land to park my shitty cars, but let me also show thanks for sharing your water with me by throwing it around your yard too!”
Yes, trash cans exist and not locked on the property in various places. All one has to do is walk up to one. Some of this trash was only a few feet from a trash can.
Yes, I did pick this crap up too. I didn’t take pictures to only to vent online, but also to share with the owner so she’s aware of what an inconsiderate fuckhead she has using her stuff.
I’m legit pissed. If you litter, then fuck you too.
Hear hear
