Was the way I dealt with this litter lout U?

[Shinysideup675]

I was in a queue at the bus stop yesterday. A bloke in front of me chucked his mars bar wrapper on the floor (there was a bin about 10 feet away). It landed at my feet, so I picked it up and put it in the hood of his coat. He didn't notice. WIBU?

Didnt the dog poo woman get utterly flamed for it though? I remember the thread...

Ooh, Ive not been around here long enough to know about the dog poo in the hood thread. I don't think I could bring myself to pick up a fresh turd. Fortunately, around here dog owners are responsible. I've honestly never seen one round these parts in years.

However, my Dad has been known to follow someone home with a fresh shovel full that was deposited on the pavement outside his house and leave it outside the rightful owner's front door. Thankfully it was only a smallish Westie sized dog. I think he'd have had second thoughts if it had been a Rottie.

We were walking home from school once and a teen threw his empty bottle on the floor. Ds who was 5 said to him "don't throw rubbish on the floor, its naughty, pick it up and find a bin". The lad went bright red and picked it up and put it in his bag.

Shiny we have just moved from a quiet street in a village and we were forever bloody dodging shit. It was a street to nowhere so a good circuit for walking dogs, i never once spotted who the culprit was... With three small DC's it made me

I would have followed them too! Good on your dad!

Shinyside my grandma complained to my mum that she was finding dog poo outside her garden gate all the time but never saw the culprit so my mum went up to the house and watched out until she saw the dog and woman out on their walk, leave the poo and go back home, my mum got the poo on a shovel, followed the lady down the road back to her house and threw the poo in her garden and said "everytime you don't clear up after your dog I will cone and throw it back in your garden" the woman just stood there open mouthed, there was never a pile of crap outside the gate again! Cant stand litter bugs either, I recently rang the local secondary school after putting up with daily litter mountains outside my drive, the kids go to the shop down the road after school and walk up past my house dropping pop bottles, crisp/choc packets, sandwich packets, literally 20+ pieces of rubbish a day on the grass verges, it was getting ridiculous. School were less than impressed and must have had a word with the students in an assembly as its been a week with no rubbish, lovely! My little boy tells people off for littering too and for not waiting for the green man before crossing haha

that's very amusing - well done OP. Just a shame you don't get to see the confusion and dawning irritation on his face when he later discovers said litter in his hood.

Trujay, there's a bit of road near me with a nicely landscaped bit of grass/trees etc in the central reservation. Its at a set of traffic lights and there always used to be empty bottles, fag packets, sweet wrappers, etc chucked on the grass - such a shame because the people living opposite really look after it, planting flowers, mowing the grass, etc. Someone stuck a big notice up saying that it wasnt a bin and reminding people to take their crap home with them. It seems to have worked a treat

My MIL used to have a neighbour who let her dog run around the road - it used to go to my MIL's house and poo all over the drive and lawn. MIL is a huge dog lover (like myself) and was more pissed off at the danger to the dog but one day she lost it - picked it all up in an open bag and went to return it - the woman wouldn't open the door so MIL opened the porch door and launched it into the open house shouting 'I think this belongs to you!'

well done - I hate litter. just be careful the perpetrator doesn't turn on you. my dc always come home with litter in pockets which is fine.

really don't understand parents or dc who throw rubbish on the floor.

Its a dirty habit in my opinion and i was forever taught by my mum to never drop litter so I just do the same with my kids, ds is only 4 and has it down to a t so no reason secondary school kids and adults cant be the same

Waiting at a station the other day I watched a taxi driver chuck his rolled up tin foil from his sandwiches out of his taxi onto the pavement. He went off to get a coffee so I picked up his rubbish and put it under his wiper blades. He didn't see it until he was driving off. Later I was back again and watched the same taxi driver lob the coffee cup out of the window. Was so tempted to confront him about it but didn't want a smack in the chops. He was bigger than me....

HATE litter bugs.

I saw a man spit on the street today. The ONLY reason I didn't speak up was because when I saw him yesterday I thought he looked unwell. Maybe he is. Still....gross.

We have a privet hedge at the front, it is a magnet for people walking by to stuff their crisp wrappers, cans, empty packets into.
When I have the time and the inclination I want to chop it down, but they'd probably just throw it over any fence/wall instead.
It's a main road, but still really annoying.

Well done!

I hate litter. I was once crossing the road and a guy in a car threw litter out of his window. I picked it up and threw it onto his lap.

What happened when you threw it back in his lap? See, if I'd done that (with the luck of the Chens) he'd have either got out of the car and lamped me, or he'd have told me to fuck off, thrown it back out of the car and driven off before I could rethrow it back to me.

to him, not me
