OK, I choose to live here. But sometimes their antics and whatnot get a bit much. So today we decided to go to the KFC for lunch. Leaves are off the trees and looking to my right I see where someone decided to dispose of some box springs and I guess the matress. So they tossed them in the woods along the interstate. Along a bit I saw the alley where another of our fine residents dumped his living room chair a couch. He didn't even bother taking them to the woods like the first hillbilly.

So we get to the place (not kind enough to call it a restaurant). Someone did some landscaping out front. Little bushes and mulch. The smokers in the place just tossed the butts in the mulch. I counted 7 butts with very long filters. Then their smoking buddies disposed of another half dozen or so on the sidewalk. Different brand, shorter filters.

So I mentioned it to the manager type inside at the cash register. She was defensive, asking if I saw them or just assumed it was employees. I asked her if she knew how long it would take to smoke that many cigarettes. Yeah, maybe it was a customer waiting that long to get served... They've been there a long time, but I don't expect them to last much longer.

It's everywhere. When I lived in the Southwest in the 79-88 era I said we did not need fog lines on Highway 60 or Interstate 25, just watch for rolled up Pampers........

That was the first mistake.

In all seriousness, pretty much any area where there's a fast-food location, there's a high likelihood of mouth-breathers, who's entire existence is about repeated bad decision making, and it all starts with trashing their surroundings.

On several occasions, I have had the neighbors workers take a dump in my field.

One time the electric power people were putting in new transformers and one of the workers stole my 5 gallon bucket and took a dump in the creek.

I contacted the electric power people and they got me two new buckets. That is the only time I have had things go my way. They were more then sorry that it happened.

Another time I caught Verizon's contractors taking a break and hiding on our private road. They must have been there a long time because there were many cigarette butts on the ground. I made them pick up every one.

Another thing that burns me up are the helium balloons that people buy and then release them with most of them ending up in the trees on my property.

Rather than box springs and cigarette butts it could be broken glass, needles and shell casings.

Count your blessings.

Before retirement, that wasn't shit, 14th Street 20-25 years ago, that was interesting. Pre-revitalization there were hookers and drug dealers everywhere.

I’ll take hillbillies over uppity snow flakes any day. And I grew up around the uppity assholes. Now I live among the hillbillies and I love it. People are laid back and they mind their own business and watch out for each other. So what if I see shirtless fat dudes cruising the neighborhood in a golf cart, they’d probably toss me a beer if I asked.

Hillbillies? I thought you were describing Oakland, CA.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Come to the expensive area of San Francisco Bay Area. It is a lot worse all over here.

The town I live in allows you to have two large items a year picked up at curb side on your regular weekly trash pick up day for no additional cost. Just call ahead and let them know. We have gotten rid of a side by side fridge, a couch, recliner, queen box and mattress over the years.

I believe most of the items that are all over our town are dumped by people you advertise and do yard and vacant house items haul off for a fee. There has been many video camera the have photographed nice looking pick ups and trailers dumping large items with no license plates very early in the morning or at night. Can't do anything unless caught.

Now throw in all the homeless that are living in a tent or a RV in cities that have expensive housing. There trash pile is huge and filled with hypodermic needles. Police can't cite them for they have no money.

I would much rather live with hillbillies then in many towns in the CA. Bay Area where the standard house starts at over 1 million and populated with many homeless people.

Most country folk will burn items then haul the metal away as scrap or make a lawn art piece with a few springs and such.

At least hillbillies know how to shit in the woods where the city folk just shit on the sidewalk in broad daylight.

This isn't just a middle of nowhere thing. Try visiting most big cities. There is a certain percentage of people out there that think they are special and rules don't apply to them.

I've seen people throw their fast food out the window of a car more than once.

Don't really matter who is leaving them, the manager should make sure it stops and gets cleaned up. Sucks but some employee should be cleaning that up daily.

May I respectfully suggest that "hillbillies" is perhaps too broad of a generalization to use to describe the (insert adj.)-trash, meth heads, and scum bags that are dumping garbage in your AO?

Perhaps you are unintentionally using this term derogatorily due to ignorance. When I was in grade school, Webster's defined a hillbilly as a Michigan dirt farmer. My position is much like that of Limblessbiff, and I find my 2A supporting, MAGA voting, hillbilly neighbors and friends to be some of the finest souls on this green earth.

Out here in the sticks it's usually enlightened urban dwelling liberal twits that visit to drop off unwanted furniture, pets, and yard debris that they can't be bothered to recycle, rehome, compost, or dispose of properly.
