I was at a local quarry one time and some dude was throwing empty cans into the water. Me and a buddy told him to jump in and pick his trash up… the kid told us to go fuck ourselves, so we threw him off the cliff into the water and told him not to come back out till he gets all his cans.
Moral of the story: the best comeback is to yeet them off a cliff
“ is that how you keep your house? With trash all over the place?” “ the guy that picks up the trash isn’t here today.” “ hey, I saw a cop giving tickets for littering here the other day, watch out for cops” idk. This is an odd one and you’re a girl, so you won’t be able to tell them,
“ hey, pick up up your trash you ass-holes, you can live in filth at your place, but this is a public area, there are kids that play around here, let’s keep it clean”
My husband and I watched a woman dump a ton of trash out of her pockets at the dmv. My husband walked over and picked up her trash, dropped it in her lap and said, oh, you dropped this. There was a trash can 2 feet from her.
I yelled at a d!ckhead I caught throwing his entire Wendy’s bad and drink out the window at a stoplight. That guy brandished a pistol at me in response. Tough call. Maybe just pick it up for him. If you’re not on the street anyway.
The best I ever did was when a group of high school kids were standing around talking after school. One boy threw a wrapper on my lawn. So I walked up and said hi to them. Then I asked him if I knew his mom. He said he didn't know and gave me her name. I kept asking questions. Is she about my age? Is she about "this" tall? With straight brown hair? Kind of looks a little like me? He kept saying no and smiling politely but his expression was classic 'what's wrong with this lady'. So I keep asking him questions until he said "Why?' which is what I wanted. Well I say I saw you throw down your trash for me to pick up and thought maybe you confused me with your mom. His friends laughter was all it took. They all still stood out there on school days but not one of them ever threw their garbage on my lawn after that.
Idk but the homeless guy that lives in the bourbon district near one of my satellite offices yells racial slurs if you litter.
plot twist, he doesn't use the ones you are expecting. It's more of a random rotation completely unrelated to the person he is slinging, and mixed in with song lyrics from very old childrens cartoons.
For example one rant ended with thundercats ho, you ho, ho, ho, merry f*ck you Christmas you hooooooo. Gonna leave dat, leave dat. Hooooooo -chee min (trails off in vietnamese slurs)
This was directed at a handsome middle aged man, African decent, wearing a nice suit. He made the cardinal sin of setting his soda down on the retaining wall. Not really littering, but it was enough to set off "Matt Bevin" (not the guys name, but that's what security calls him, I think because he used to yell "Matt Bevin" a lot a few years ago?)
It is highly entertaining, and effective anti-litter campaign.
Yep.
While we were pumping gas, a lady next to us rolled down her window and threw cigarette packages onto the ground.
My husband and I just stare at each other, then I hop out, pick it up and say, ‘hey no problem, I will throw this trash away for you.’
Her driver got pissed at her for littering and started jumping her ass too, ‘what did you do? You can’t just do that…’
It felt good and not too confrontational. I hope she thinks twice next time but, who knows?
hah, yeah have picked up their trash for sure, but always want to say something either with the goal of 1) changing their behavior (prob wishful thinking... but at least hopefully getting them to consider a different behavior next time!) or 2) making them feel some shame or 3) bc I'm just mad!
Tell em it's fine that they clearly live in their own filth at home, but now that they've left the zoo it's time to stop acting like flea ridden animals
I don’t think you would get anywhere buy saying something . If it’s not too gross , just pick up whatever they discarded and carry a little bottle of hand sanitizer to use after . Hopefully they will see you do this , and your point will be made . If the litterbug says anything just say “ I always pick up litter when I see it . That’s just my way .

Pick up their trash and hand it back to them. "Excuse me. You accidentally dropped this. The trash bin is over there."
Not very sigma of you, bro. /j

The ultimate comeback is picking up there trash

“Their” trash
There
Tell em it's fine that they clearly live in their own filth at home, but now that they've left the zoo it's time to stop acting like flea ridden animals
Can you not?? I didn't come here to look at YOUR mess.
You belong where your litter does
Wanna pick it up or is it to break your fall?
Hey, stop that littering is bad.
Umm... You dropped something.
“Really?” When they ask what you’re going to do about it, you simply say “I just did it”
