Nobody likes a litterbug. When people trash your neighborhood with their literal garbage, something rubs you the wrong way. Don't get me wrong, we've all accidentally had a receipt fly out of our pocket and straight into the storm drain, but that's not the kind of littering I'm referring to. I'm talking about premeditated, complete-disregard-for-the-environment, as-low-as-you-can-go LITTERING. In this story, one vigilante couple noticed a rouge litterbug in the wild and did what any self-respecting hero would do: they went after them.

Nothing fuels the fury of the neighborhood watch quite like littering.

u/skylitlucy, an avid Redditor recalls the story that he parents shared with her the other day. Lucy mentions early in the story that her parents are just regular folks from the neighborhood, a typical 'Gary' and 'Linda' type of couple. Although the two are far from ordinary and when faced with a vandal in their hood, they stepped up and showed them who's boss. Scroll for the full, melty, messy story of how Lucy's parents got down in the dumps on a litterbug, turning the tables on the way they'll look at their street trash from now on. After this, read on about a boss who cuts his employees hours in half just because they're over the whole 'working from home' thing.
