Seriously, WTF is wrong with some people.
Discussion
Truckers can be pretty bad, there's an industrial estate a couple of miles from me, the main road to it has no houses just 8ft high hedges bordering fields, the number of 4 ltr milk cartons with yellow liquid in is unbelievable, along with tied up carrier bags, presumably with the cab's rubbish contents in. Then as you approach the m/way junction at some traffic lights it gets even worse. There's a pathetic sign saying "don't drop litter max fine £2000" how easy would it be to stick a camera at the junction, 2 grand a pop easy money.
When out with my dogs, I often see people let their dogs crap and ignore it, really gets my goat does that. What I do now is offer them a baggy as they have obviously run out, more often than not, they then scoop up and deposit correctly.
I hate to admit I throw fag ends out of the car window, no bloody ashtrays in modern heaps and as I'm a proper fag addict, what to do?

I don't think I've been in any car ever that didn't have an ashtray.I hate to admit I throw fag ends out of the car window, no bloody ashtrays in modern heaps and as I'm a proper fag addict, what to do?
Maybe put one in a cup holder?

That said, Liverpool Lime Street station doesn't seem to have any bins at all, so it's hard to see what you're supposed to do....
You mean this Liverpool Lime Street - the one with 6 bins right outside the main entrance?http://goo.gl/maps/XGbGX

This.
Your post sort of reminds me of a situation that was quite tragic. A mummy grouse or something like that was trying to marshall her 12 or so chicks across a road into my village (approaching a 30 mph limit). As I approached the line of little birds crossing the road, I slowed and stopped.
As I waited, I saw a bloke coming the other way in a Jaguar of some sort. He seemed to be speeding up so I got out of the car and tried to wave him down. The tt looked at me, put his foot down and wiped out the trail of chicks.
I don't think I have ever been so angry in my life. As he went past he looked at me and smirked. I was shouting at him, the !
My fiancee and I scooped up the few we could see still moving and one died in her hands. To this day it still brings a tear to my eye. The little thing made a few chirping sounds, wheezed a bit and just went still.
I really hope the person in the car had or has a visit from Mr Karma. I couldn't believe what he did. He really was a fking !
That is possibly the saddest and most rage inducing thing I have read. I hope his Jag caught fire and he got home to find his wife being made airtight.

Youth are without doubt the worse offenders. I was deadheading some shrubs at the front of my drive when two young men walked past. One of them (needless to say in a vest and plimsoles) tossed his magnum wrapper in to my azeleas in direct view!!
I am normaly quite complacent but felt so affronted that I didn't do anything and just muttered under breath.
EFA. I am normaly quite complacent but felt so affronted that I didn't do anything and just muttered under breath.

I live in Cambridge and if I've got rubbish in the car I drive to Haverhill and throw it out the window.
My reasoning is that place is a dump anyway so rather than mess up nice Cambridge it makes sense to get rid of my crap where it won't be noticed. I've been know to take a poo by the side of the road for the same reason.
I've not always been this conciencous.
If I see litter in my road I'll often pick it up, and save it for my Haverhill trip.
I assumed it was town policy in Haverhill, hence the sculpture of a bin as you approach from Cambridge.My reasoning is that place is a dump anyway so rather than mess up nice Cambridge it makes sense to get rid of my crap where it won't be noticed.

It's the trashy roadside graves that should act as a warning as you enter on that road.
I noticed the other day the majority were not cared for.
I`m not surprised anymore at the amount of filth seen in the UK. We`re a dirty country , pure and simple and to deny that is just being silly. I`m going to Switzerland soon and the difference is unbelievable. Here the FIRST thing a smoker does when opening a packet of cigarettes is to drop the cellophane and the small foil top. The LAST thing they do is throw the end on the ground. The most natural thing in the world with absolutely no thought, regard or nothing.
I have a funny feeling as well that Austrian or Swiss lorry drivers don`t st in Tesco bags and toss it out the window or pee in milk cartons or coke bottles and do the same.
Laybys here are actually small rubbish tips where the norm is to empty out all your rubbish and leave it. Fly tipping is a national pastime and couches , tumble dryers and bags of rubble are dumped in beauty spots instead of being taken to the local dump. I hate it. Fines for drivers doing 5 mph over the limit? Hammer litterers. Use them as a means of tax collection as opposed to the motorist. bds.

Having lived just outside Haverhill for the best part of 4 years I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for adding some character to that otherwise non-town! I once walked down the high street and saw 15 mobility scooters...most exciting day spent there, true storyMy reasoning is that place is a dump anyway so rather than mess up nice Cambridge it makes sense to get rid of my crap where it won't be noticed.

What are peoples thought on chucking vegetable matter out the window? Apple cores, banana skins...that sort of thing.
The only thing I would ever throw out the window is an apple core, knowing it would rot or get eaten by local wildlife. However, now in California, my car pool colleague said I shouldn't do that as it is not native to the area if the seed takes. Never thought of that, will never do it again!Viper_Larry said:

But for all he knows my dad could be dead, ill in hospital, disabled ect.
Its a tt1sh thing to have a go at someones dad on here, have a go at me fine. Where was the need to add sexual comments - notice I did not reply with a comment about his mum.
Being dead, ill or disabled doesn't preclude anyone from being a tt. "Your dad" said the statement, "your dad" gets the retort. It's very simple to understand really.Its a tt1sh thing to have a go at someones dad on here, have a go at me fine. Where was the need to add sexual comments - notice I did not reply with a comment about his mum.
The worse part is that when you were referring to "your dad" it was a fictional character, therefore his response was about the aforementioned fictional character, so why you took umbrage in the first place confounds me.
