We are firm believers that if you see someone littering, you should definitely try and teach them a lesson. Littering is one of those things that are so inconsiderate and lazy, that we fully support any method one might take to put a stop to it. Parents who fail to teach their kids to not litter, to simply throw their trash in trash cans, like normal people, should not be allowed to be parents, if we're completely honest here. It is such a basic thing, yet some people still find it so hard.

When parents do fail in that one basic lesson, it is up to us to make sure people learn. This is why if we see someone throw away something on the ground, we will definitely come up to them and ask them to pick it up. If we see someone toss their food out of their car window, will will drive after them and confront them about it. It is simply not something we can turn a blind eye to.

That is why we are so proud of the neighbor who wrote the story down below.

  • To be fair, the main reason the residents in this story were confronting their neighbors' kid was because they were tired of having trash all over their lawn. But for all we care, as long as that kid learns his lesson, which we fully believe he did, it is a win in our books.

  • "No more fast food litter on my lawn"

    This was the pettiest of petty revenges but it made me happy: A few years ago, we kept finding fast food litter on our lawn ― the paper bag with all the wrappers

  • Then one day, I was in the front room when out the window I saw the teenage boy next door pull up, get out of his car, and drop his fast food bag on our lawn as

  • CatlessBoyMom Makes you wonder what kind of parents he has, if he can learn a lesson that fast, but hadn't before.

  • ThislsWriting Time OP From talking to him a bit, I think he was probably a decent kid deep down, but the kids in that house had virtually NO supervision. So I think you're exactly right -- he could have been a much better person if his mom had made a modicum of effort.

  • notme1414 I grew up in the country and someone dumped an entire bag of garbage right beside their barn. They went through the garbage and found a few pieces of mail with the person's name.

  • They stuffed it all back in the bag and drove to their house in town and emptied the bag all over their lawn

  • justaman_097 Well played! People who throw their trash in other people's lawns deserve to get it back.

  • LegitimateSpeaker323 I've dreamed of finding the home of our litterbug, going to McDonald's and taking every full trash bin bag after a busy lunchtime, and dumping it on his lawn. Too much work for me to execute, but it makes me smile.

  • tibsie I wonder if the situation in his house was anything like mine growing up. I wasn't allowed to use the car to get fast food, even with my own money. So I wonder if he was disposing of the evidence
    via tibsie
  • because he couldn't leave it in the car or dispose of it in the household bins. However, unlike him, I still found ways of disposing of the evidence properly without resorting to littering.

  • God, I still remember 18 year old me, 25ish years ago, parked up somewhere quiet at night, sitting in the car and steaming up the windows by eating pizza while watching a movie on a laptop

  • with a dvd player. Looking back on it, doing it surreptitiously like that rather than eating pizza in the comfort of home raises some parenting red flags.

  • ThislsWritingTime OP His mother didn't pay attention to *anything* he did, much less what he was eating. I think he was just lazy because of a total lack of expectations in his household.
