what would you do?

Was talking with a friend awhile ago who's parents don't like him to eat fast food. So sneaks it on the way home, then throws all the trash out the window so they won't find out. What would you do if in this situation?

If we were in MY car, I'd stop on the side of the road and make him go back and pick up the trash...

If IN has an anti-littering law and he gets fined, he won't have as much money to spend on "Big Mac Attacks". Whose car is he tossing the trash from - yours or his? Sounds like a very irresponsible person to me.

Never litter, it is just wrong. Whenever I throw trash out the window I make sure it lands in the bed of a Dodge!

It's either $100 or $500 fine in In.

If there is a litter law then every other block there is a trash can after eating ask politely if he would throw it away

littering is totally inexcusable. I made a teen age girl pick up a Milk Shake she dropped out of the window at a busy red light.

We work hard to keep our roadways clean here in Mississippi and that sort of thing makes me sick. Then again it does give the inmates something to do during the week.

Well, I knew this fella and his son and did some work on the kid's motorcycle, sold the old man one of my bikes etc etc. On the "outing" to get parts, the kid just drops his trash out the side of my truck.....I asked him what he was doing, and he says his old man says "That's what the street cleaners get paid for."

I think I made the kid pick it up, offered my opinion etc.

Anyway, next time I see these guys we go have a bite and as we are leaving, I notice the kid, in full view of the old man, has set out 10 lbs of trash next to their car in the parking lot.

So right then and there---END PROGRAM. I never had anything to do with them again.

They treated the bikes and everything they had the same way. I got an impound notice on the bike I sold them. It was an enduro with a headlight and green sticker--not street legal and I told them so. So why was one of the kid's friends riding it through town 5 miles from their house? The sheriff couldn't figure it out either. Then they couldn't figure out why it seized when they ran it down the road wide open for miles.......

So before I drone on and on some more---look a little closer. If your buddy thinks nothing of making messes for others to clean up on the highway or street, where else do think you're going to find a steaming pile for someone else--that could be you--to clean up?

Find another friend.
