So this morning I happened to look outside as I was making my way to my home office and something caught my eye. There was a red car parked in the middle of the road across from me. Then a guy stepped outside, pulled a bunch of bags out of the trunk, threw them into the mud and drove away. Yup, one of those assholes.
This area is new and is still being developed so there are lots of open fields of land ready for construction, unfinished roads, and unfortunately plenty of little spots where lazy idiots dump their shit, except usually they don't do right in front of the finished houses. I still don't get why people do it in the first place: it's not like you have to pay for garbage collection and if you have too much crap there are days when you can leave more than the usual number of bags. Most of the time it seems like people dump old crap or construction material from renovations, stuff that doesn't really have an expiration date or will smell up your garage that you must get rid of it right away. Like I said, I don't get it.
I also don't get how people can trash their own area in general. There's a school being built a few minutes away from me and it's already trashed, so is a small playground I passed on a walk yesterday a few blocks away. A few black bags and lots of cups, bottles, plastic bags, etc. It's not like the builder is going to clean it up either, the strategy here is to just cover it up. Alright kids, have fun digging up broken bottles! Is it really that hard to walk to the closest trash can? It really sickens me when I go on a "photo walk" to a nearby forest and there's trash everywhere from people drinking, etc.
Anyway, I've put a telephoto lens on one of my cameras. Next time someone tries to dump their shit I'm ready to take pictures. Fucking assholes!
