Actually that's an insult to the species; I've never seen a piglet's dirty diaper dumped in a parking lot on a hot summer's day. :thumbdown: What would be so difficult about walking 50 feet to put it in a trash container?

In 14 years of traveling with a dog I have never left piles of s*** in a public place, and it really gets my goat up when I step out of my truck onto somebody's dirty diaper.

Sorry, end of rant.

I get even more upset when you go into the woods and see beer cans and diapers. Really a shame on the human race. It justifies the bumper sticker on my truck thyat reads simply...."People Suck!"

Were you traveling in France by any chance? Hope our French TBNers don't take offense, but ...
Dave.

I was shocked when I was in Paris, at the number of people that just walk up the side of a building and relieve themselves.

Business men, well off, walking along chatting and then...:confused2:

When people ask me what Paris was like, I say its one of the nicest rest rooms i've ever seen :laughing:

Also, every time I mow the entrance to our property I have to do a litter patrol first. There is always Mc'Ds trash, and the nearest one is at least 40 miles away. BK is even further and we still get their litter.

I think people traveling along the highway feel they need something to aim for when they throw their trash, and a driveway gives them that

The French are individuals, have to give them that

I'm sure driveways and mailboxes are used for litter targets. That's my litter experience too. Too many bottles end up near my mailbox for it to be coincidence. I have my anti-litter fantasies. They usually begin with a night vision scope

I agree. Our society has degraded to ignoring such breaches of law and etiquette allowing it to become almost acceptable. I have seen law enforcement officers cite violators who then complain about the citation and weak minded authorities, politicians and judges dismiss the tickets, which furthers the littering. Excuses, excuses

It's a real shame there would ever need to be litter laws. Etiquette is not what it used to be I have no proof, but my gut feeling is the majority of the littering is done by a fairly small group of people.

Sounds like The Pareto principle, or the 80-20 rule. 20% of the people cause 80% of the litter, but I'd bet it is more like 20% cause 100% of the litter. It applies to many parts of life, like 20% of the TBN posters contribute 80% of the posts.

ya know---
I want to add something on a positive note...

In the last week I was invited to a dinner with a business associate that has become a good friend.. Met the whole family and a true handful of kids.

We had a great dinner and then ran out to the farm... played "hide and seek" on 40+ acres with atvs... What a blast!!!!!

Afterwards, we went back over to my friends house and I was offered a shower and a chance to relax before the hour drive home...
And watermelon-- oh the watermelon..... hmmm my mouth is watering now!!!

Anyway the kids called me, Mr. J.. and when I said nah-- just let me rinse up a little-- I must have gotten 3 "are you sure" from my friend and his wife when I turned the shower down....
NOTE-- I am sure the kids have no Idea who Mr. Erving is.....

Talk about politness and Etiquette... we could truly use more like that..


With all that said...--- As of recently I have taken to the idea that for every bad apple, for every pig there are 9 good apples...

and that takes me back to the old 10% argument!!!!


In the job I do, it seems that if we don't step back and look at the good stuff we'd go nuts..

In life, IMHO the same thing applies..

So ya know I think it is good to commiserate, fun even to hear the bad stories..but always remember the good out there too....

the pigs sooner or later will get what they have coming... so I just don't fret on it anymore.. laugh at em? YEP...


with that thought I bid you goodnight!

I did use the parking lot at The magic Kingdom as a urinal but that was sorta the tram maintenance workers fault. On the way out between the exit and the parking lot our tram tractor had a problem I asked about walking on out to the car and got a stern no. Recived the same answer when mister bladder was telling me walk back to the exit and use the rest room When we finally got another tram I was in pain. I did use the bushes on the edge of the lot. I was sorta embarassed but I weighed it against wetting myself.
What really irked me was the twit of a girl that was in TSC the other day looking a bit suspect, She had her crib midget on a stack of oil dry in the lubricants and thsi smell hit me. I then saw a man almost lose it. The girl put her babys nasty diaper in behind the PB Blaster.
Shortly after Amy and I got married one of her friends came by to see the house with her two heathens. I was at work thank goodness or Id have had a stroke. She changed her babys diaper on the couch without a towel or anything under the youngest. Also got some on the cushion. Amy asked her to use the bathroom after that. When i got home we had a new rule i nthe house lol.

LOL. Kids should be kept somewhere out of sight until they are house broke, have learned to modulate their annoying one tone voices, and can hold a somewhat intelligible conversation
