You see all sorts of stuff thrown out along the road. Ain't it the truth.

We don't live in town.

Walking out to get my mail today, with temps in the upper 20's, I see somebody lost their burrito. It ended up by my mailbox.

The most interesting thing I see tossed out around here, in the woods and along the roadway at times, is men's underwear. No clue why that is.
 

When younger when I used to walk a lot I would always find sockets on the side of the road.
 

People working on the vehicle and forgetting them under the hood. I drove around with the hitch ball wrench on the back of my truck bumper for a week. Fortunately the vehicle is slanted forward so it stayed put.
I drove 7 miles at 55MPH with my phone sitting on the trunk of my car before someone said at a stop light "Hey your phone is on your trunk" thank god I had a rubber case that made it stick to the paint and did not slide off.
 

My little town has a population of about 4,600 people. We have once a week trash pickup and once a month 'bulk' pickup for large items. People tend to drive a mile or two outside of city limits and throw furniture and stuff in a ditch or on some farmer's property. It's really a shame that people do that. Unfortunately they rarely ever get caught doing it.

On a different note though, after my Dad lost his entire leg to cancer he would venture out on his electric scooter, usually not much more than an eight block radius of his house. Over a short period of time he had accumulated a large cool whip bowl full of change and a couple of rings he had found in and along the side of the streets. I never could figure out why so much change was lost unless it's just the younger generation tossing it away because they think it's a burden to carry and they're too dumb to realize it adds up
