| even if your truck was crappy and already had trash, if i was walking by it in the parking lot, I'd sooner throw my trash on the ground than throw it in the back of your truck. That doesn't compute at all.
"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.

| Well, when you drive down the road most of the lighter stuff blows out anyway. Just saw a guy the other day with all kinds of trash blowing out as hew drove. |

| A small reason among many why I prefer a cover on the truck bed. Now, those can make it difficult to get stuff that slides around in the bed back out, but if you lay one of these rubber floor mats in the bed stuff pretty well stays put 36x60 antifatigue rubber mat

^ Yep. I have a city truck now, so don't have the bed for that.

| When I was a kid most of the houses around us had these big water oak trees in their yards. Those trees had small heavy leaves that were challenging to rake.
One neighbor would get all of his leaves raked up and would load them into the back of his 1964 Ford pickup (great truck). But he never unloaded them immediately.
He would wait until around 10pm and drive to the ritzy neighborhood where his nemesis lived and lower the tailgate and drive back and forth in front of the guy's house.
In a few minutes the truck bed would be empty... (Dingleberg...) |

| I think it may be related to location. I don't know that I ever saw anyone throw anything in the bed of a truck down South but I certainly have seen it done- shall we say, above Virginia?
Usually college kids with an empty drink cup, crumpled up bag, wrapper, etc. |

Heck, if I'm in a hurry, I sometimes don't even bother with the can. 'Specially when me and the ol' lady are riding the Harley...

Well I can confirm it happens. I've never lived anywhere but the south and it's happened to me a handful of times. Never anything major but it's always been in places where a public trash can isn't too far away. |

| I had a friend come out of a restaurant and find 4 old tires in the bed of his truck. He had to pay to get rid of them. |

| I'm guilty of this with friends trucks, walking by finish a drink and through the can in thier bed. But its because i know them and I'd expect it in return. Also we all drive older no so nice trucks that always have crap in the beds |
