Okay, so Neal and I go out for our evening walk and I had noticed - turning our corner earlier (in the car) - that there was a Church's Chicken box in our front yard ... well it seems like not only was the box there BUT also a couple of chicken strips and sauce ... um, I wonder - were they just full and chunked it out the window? Supper anyone?
So, as we walked I started taking notice of the trash on the streets and my brain started to wonder:
1. Empties: Coke bottle, Sprite bottle, Fusion bottle, Gatorade bottle - along with many and various squashed versions .... really, are they walking along and just drop the empty? Do they just chunk it out the window of their car - really?
2. Toy truck tires - all four - minus the truck itself ... okay, I mean all four little tires were there together - no toy truck - did the kid only want the truck body?
3. A squashed - completely flat - magic marker ... how many times did that take for it to be run over ... I mean totally flat!
4. Various papers - yes we are talking in the road. I can see maybe one person missing one - but there were many along the route.
5. A competitor of Church's Chicken ... a Kentucky Fried Chicken (although they don't call it that anymore, isn't it just KFC?) ... regardless, there was yet another food box - sans any type of chicken this time.
6. The top of a tire gauge -- yes, just the top - I guess they do break.
7. A small ball - left abandoned on the side of the road - away from any house, just rolling down the road in search of a home.
8. A hairclip - I guess I can see dropping a hairclip and not missing it.
9. A shoe lace -- just one, makes me wonder about the other one.
Okay, it is a toss up as to which of the last two is the actual winner, I thought one was ... until I came across the other -- so I'll post in that order!
10. A nose -- yes a nose, you know one of those plastic kinds with the string that goes on your face -- looked to be in perfect working condition :-) just lying in the middle of the road!
11. ..... then just about one block from our house --- a pair of thong panties, all wrinkled up amonst the dirt and leaves along the curb -- I mean, okay - I guess these could have been dropped, but once again they looked in good repair and were pretty - NO, I did not pick them up (I looked from afar) :-) How do you loose a pair of panties - in front of your house, maybe, and not miss them AND never see them laying in your front yard in the street?
Weird, just weird -- come on people gather up those belongings and keep them out of the road! Don't force me to walk around them and blog about it!!
I hope your day went well Buddies!!!
Fascinating! I tend to check out the detritus along the streets & sidewalks when I walk but never thought to catalog them.
ReplyDeleteRecently I've been seeing a lot of bottles obviously thrown at trees from passing cars just to watch them break. I then have to pass through glass shard minefields.
Too funny missy.
