Do you throw litter from your car?

[duck_duck]

I don't have a car but if I did I wouldn't throw anything out of the window.

My mom is the only cig smoker I know who does not litter.
I bought her a Zippo portable lighter that seals. I use an Altoids Sour tin (it seals air tight) for my cigars and pipe ash/dottle and cigar butts, even though they are biodegradable. They do not look nice and people don't want them on the ground or in their flower bins.
She used a water bottle with a bit of water in it or one of my Altoid tins before then. Said the water bottle kept her car from smelling because she could seal it, unlike her ash-tray... did not work.

When i drive with the top down, i see my fiance throwing stuff out like little bits of paper and i freak out on him. I hate it when he does that. Im a really paranoid person and im always thinking "omg, what if someone fingerprints this bottle he threw out? Theyll know it was him!!". Im a total loser.

I take it that your asteroid doesn't have a nearby prison.

Or do-gooders that paid for the privilege of one of those Adopt-a-Highway sign.

Not unless she does not give it up.

You've seen what I do right? (first of all, I don't smoke in the car at all)

I twist the ember off the end, stamp it out, and the filter end goes into the watch pocket of my jeans until I get to a trash can.

I like the Altoids tin idea, Rzen. I'll have to try to remember to save one.

Sounds like a great opportunity for an editorial to your local paper.

Make sure it is a Sours tin. The mint tins do not seal.
For the buck fifty, they are worth buying even if you don't like the candy, put it in a zip-lock, give it away, and just keep the tin.

Littering is wrong. People who litter are probably scumbags in the rest of their lives, too. Too fucking lazy to put stuff in a trash can somewhere, and there are trash cans *everywhere*.

Meh.

The cigarette butts disgust me. The Labrat's butt, on the other hand...

I keep a trash bag handy for all trash that is not food (the bag is at nose level of a trash-picker) or on fire. My butts go into a self-extinguishing butt kit that hangs on my door. I empty all trash into provided receptacles whenever I stop.

I have taken other truckers to task for littering (it's at it's worst at the back of a truck stop) and "eliminating" behind their trailer. But I am an asshole. Ask anyone.

When we go road tripp'in we keep a trash bag with us. We get them free from the grocery store. When we get where we are going we find a trash can, and recyclables container and take care of our waste then.
When I was trucking, I would get pissed when people would throw their piss bottles all over the place. (YUK)

It's all shit in the end.

Such righteousness! *oinking loudly*

You mean to tell me that you've never tossed an obnoxious hitchhicker? That you barf in your lap, spit in your silk hanky, choke on the occasional release of methane? That you never roll down the window and stick your hand out before you flip off an obnoxious cabby? That all of those ads that someone leaves under your windshield wipers are still there? That you've never thumped a joint when the car following you merely looked like a police cruiser? Rubbish, indeed.

Ohhh my ex used to do that, except he would just leave it in his pocket ...drove me fucken nuts. Tobacco all through my washing

I do not litter. I personally like seeing my surroundings and environment very nice, neat, and beautiful, not a trash bag. God......I am sounding like my dad.

I will occasionally spit on a sidewalk but I am trying to stop it. I will also occasionally spit gum on the grass or off in a corner but I am also trying to stop doing that.

Spat out the window two fig stems during this morning's commute. I don't consider that littering. Otherwise, nothing out the window.
