What should I do to the smokers who keep littering?

Ally?

If it was pedestrian smokers, I would suggest investing in one of those outdoor ashtrays, to at least give the smokers a target.

If all else fails, go Twilly Spree on they ass. (see Carl Hiaasen's Sick Puppy)

I hadn't realized that only smokers do this.

It must be said at this point that I enjoyed smoking at one point in my life, especially while drinking. But I never tossed my butts carelessly like this because even back in those days I hated seeing the PILES of butts at every pre-ordained stopping point on the road.

I was once with a dude (who was quite drunk) who started screaming at a smoker who threw his butt out the window at a red light. The smoker lept from the car (which was next to ours) and threw his half full beer on the hood of our car, leaving a nice scratch. Then this thug got in his car and drove away. He never said a word.

I am thus somewhat afraid of unarmed confrontation.

My next thread will be to the assholes who fucking stick their ABC gum under the every table at every restaurant. Don't you fuckers realize that my kids try to pick it off and play with it?

But with all due respect, what in the fuck does my eating habits (or living quarters) have to do with my complaint?

Look, I don't like litter in general (unless, of course, it's properly hidden by a landfill or burnt to tiny bits where it becomes mostly invisible to the naked eye) but this particular litter issue is particularly noticeable.

Why? Because it's damn near an acceptable form of breaking the law. It's such a minor form of littering that people think it doesn't add up to much I guess. But I'll bet if I walk outside and count right now, there are probably 50 butts at the stopsign.

I guess I'll go outside naked and paint "I'd rather go naked than litter ciggie butts" on my chest.

FWIW, I live on an acre of land in a residential area.

Which just goes to show you that pigs are not geo-centric in nature. Just like you can find a redneck in the city, you can find a littering smoker in the 'burbs.

And if I knew Charles Bronson, it would be a lot more effective to just have him stand there instead of me naked. Maybe him and Eastwood could tag-team.

I think your sarcasm points to part of the problem. People think 'what the hell, this place is already a filthy hell-hole. What's one more cigarette butt?'

This was one of my big pet peeves in college, where every square foot of sidewalk had its own cigarette butt. All littering is evil and SO fucking lazy, but the fact that smoking is a nasty, unnecessary habit to begin with makes it even worse.

teenage girls far outnumber teenage boys for smoking.

one solution might be to pour gasoline all over the street, so that whenever some jerk tosses a but, the road will burst into flames like the wrath of Yahweh.

I realize teenage girls far outnumber teenage boys. Or at least I assume that.

I just wonder if they are still virgins or not.

So THOSE are the fucking giant lumps of pulverized meat I saw while driving on I-10 in Louisiana last year... (really)

Oh, and Horace owns this thread.

But as for littering, those littering gets you a big fine signs help (I think).

I'm sorry. That was me who threw all those cigarettes and condoms there. Whoops!!
