What is some of your Pet Peeve's

Probably been mentioned before in the thread, but I hate litterbugs!
We walked a 1/2 mile north and back on my road this morning, and this is the trash we collected. We do this about every month.

Sorry about the finger in the picture.

Assuming it is a middle finger ?

As a matter of fact, it was. Very appropriate in this situation, I think.

I do garbage collecting every month, beer cans and bottles mostly.
Hate the bottles as some break.
Luckily it's only a few per month but I only patrol 4-500 feet of the main road.

Worst is finding garbage on the shared road, as that is from delivery drivers and visitors.

I buy several identical pairs at a time. Always wool, as it's the only material that I can wear for more than 5 minutes without them getting soaked from sweat. After a while they get holes or I lose one but for work I don't care if they match or not. My feet can't tell the difference. Even if I cared what people think, I'm wearing boots so what does it matter?
When a pair of socks is 10-15 bucks, I'm going to get my money's worth from them.

Yeah, I've done the "pair just like them at home" thing myself.
Generally, I'll just go with the "bag o' sox", 6 pairs of white cotton blend from Walmart. A pair lasts about 6 months before they get holes. Wool usually too hot for me.

Cans, bottles, wrappers the litterbugs in your area are amateurs.
I've had an entire living room set dumped in my ditch. Just down from me some person dumped an entire dismantled shed. Guessing about 12x12. The town sent 2 dump trucks, a backhoe and a small army of workers (workers ) to clean it up.
Just this summer some ass dumped shingles between my 2 driveways. Town again cleaned it up but I still walk around there with the magnet finding nails.

That's scary, but some of that has happened closer to town.
I keep the road on my side cut down so it's more obvious when trash is there, I also think it makes them less likely to dump stuff, but ......

I also maintain a slope about 3-5 feet in, so large stuff would roll down a bit.
We keep the trench to about 2' wide, so it does overrun sometimes, but less likely to become someones dumping ground that way.

Sad to hear you have had that happen, people can really suck sometimes.

I came out of the woods one day and just before the road there was a beer bottle which had somehow landed upright. I picked it up and it was full to the top with slugs.
It's still in the ditch where I found it.

On another occasion I was stacking firewood while enjoying a Mich Light. I set it down when it was empty but I was in the back side of the pile and forgot about it.
A couple of weeks later I picked it up and there were 3 dead mice in it.
I didn't return that one for the deposit.
