I take the dogs for a nice 2-3 mile walk every day after work. Lately, I've got them trained to do their business before we leave, so I rarely have to scoop while I walk them.

So, lately I've been using my plastic bag to pick up litter as I go. It drives me freakin nuts. It's a nice road in a nice area, and people are pitching their cigarette packs, coffee cups and fast food wrappers along the street. Based on the litter, I can safely say that they are fat, lazy smokers. I never seem to find granola bar wrappers, or trail mix packs.

Anyway, last night as I'm walking along a burgundy suburban drives by, and further down the road I see him pitch a bag of garbage out his window. By the time I meander up there it has been driven over a couple times and is strewn around a bit. McDonald's bag with the pickles, ketchup and crap. Pi$$ed off, I gather it up and put it in my bag.

About 25 minutes later, I come around a corner and see the Suburban parked along the street, empty. By then my bag is full, thanks to other lazy a$$hats like this guy.

As I walk up, I think it through and do the only rational and proper thing. I open the driver's door, and empty my bag... making sure his McDonald's garbage is clearly on the top.

I have to admit I knew I'd be in for an a$$kicking if I got caught, but it sure felt good. I'll probably find it all along the street again this afternoon, but that's OK. I'll pick it up again.
