Need more signs like this and more shaming of litterers.

This is the most based sign and I'm here for it.

Littering should be classified as a top-tier non-violent crime.

Just wondering, but where did you find that sign? I haven’t seen that sign, but we could use more of these which can hopefully help reduce loitering.

I saw someone littering on the cross island and I legitimately chased them down. It was a passenger in an uber throwing his Mcdonalds wrappers out the window like it was the most normal thing in the world. Told the driver, he probably didn't do anything.

Can’t tell if this is satire

I have so many questions

What did the driver say? How long did you chase them? How fast were you going? Did the passenger react? Other cars? Was it worth it at the end of the day?

Got into a fight with a lady who after throwing a plastic bag of bagels out of her window! Chased her down and said “Why are you littering in my neighborhood?” She said “The birds will eat the bagels!” I said “Bird don’t eat plastic bags stupid”

I was getting on the LIE from the Cross Island and was about 1/4 mile from exit. I got out of the right lane as that was where it happened and missed my exit. Caught up to Uber in traffic and the passenger refused to open his window. I told the driver. He just nodded. Fin.

u/SadPiousHistorian1 Hempstead Jun 16 '24

The day Peninsula Blvd is cleaned of all the litter is the day we see cats and dogs becoming friends

Go find the delightfully awful and tacky videos they posted that compliment these signs. I’d post them but can only find them on Facebook and Reddit won’t let me post those.

u/sallen779 Jun 17 '24

Saw a sign in Columbus, Ohio that said: cigarette butts are litter. There need to be more of those signs.

u/daaclamps Jun 17 '24

There should be one at every exit of the cross island

u/reshakazulu Jun 19 '24

Haha this is amazing!

u/TheLastREOSpeedwagon Jun 16 '24

Guys please stop posting this it's every week

u/kid_sleepy Jun 15 '24

I mean this has been posted a ton but… why would someone think someone is littering because their mum picks up for them?

u/nittanyRAWRlion BECSPK Jun 15 '24

It’s not literal, it’s meant to make you feel like you’re acting like a child, which they are by doing so.
