Mine go on the floorboard.
There is an Adopt-A-Hiway sign near my place that says, and I'm not making this up: "Angry Rednecks Against Litter"
The worse by far are cigarette butts. Aside from the litter, it causes many a brush fire here in the summer time. The median along I-66 has plenty of burn spots every year due to this.

Being an Eagle Scout, I always throw my trash in the correct receptacle, except maybe for my empty snuff cans and beer bottles. They always find their way into the bed of my truck...
I love my grandparents, but it REALLY burned me one day. We were going for a walk in the woods on our back 10 and my grandma takes out a halls and pops one, and tosses the wrapper on the ground! On MY property! My own flesh and blood! I almost picked it up and gave it back to her (as above), 'Hey Grandma, you dropped this.' But she IS my Grandma, and she deserves that respect, so I kept it to myself.
In retrospect...

It was a couple of teenage girls, and they just glared at me so I said, "Hey, I could have just taken your plate number and turned it in, it's a $1000 dollar fine, you know." They drove off, probably tossed it out the window somewhere else. I tried. I hate litterbugs. -TD

I work at a retail store and people will open their car door and just scoop out the trash right onto the parking lot and not even think twice about it. I have had to pickup all kinds of trash, chicken bones, baby diapers, fast food sacks stuffed with nasty crud, beer bottles/cans, I even used a long stick to pickup a used unmentionable item. People {not all} can be pigs sometimes.

People that don't have the respect to keep their trash inside their car until they get to their destination do not deserve to drive. It's makes the countryside/city look trashy, no to mention it's rude to through your trash on someone else's property. HOw would you like it if I deficated on your lawn? You probably wouldn't so I don't, I have respect for you, that is until I catch you throwing trash out the car window. Then I have NO respect for you because you have NO respect for anyone. I view respect as a two way street. You respect me, I respect you. If I do not know you I respect you until you prove to me that you are not worthy of that respect. If you prove that you are not worthy, it will take time for me to respect you again as you will have to earn it. I will admit to shedding my share of trash when I was younger, and I can remember going back out the next morning and seeing all the beer cans, bottles, and what not lying by the road. It is truely disgusting to see trash thrown all over because people are too lazy to throw it out when they stop for gas, food or whatever.
