Hey there, everyone! I've only lived in Bay City for about 3 months so I'm still fairly new to the status quo but I have to ask: What in the sam hill is UP with all the litter??
Every morning I step outside and find empty beer cans and liquor bottles and tampon wrappers and all sorts of other random junk in my yard. I ask because I'm genuinely curious: Who are these people who drive around the neighborhood on nightly Wild Turkey and Tampax binges?? I'm almost impressed that they can sustain that kind of intensity night after night.
Also: dog poop. I'm a fan of all God's creatures great and small and am entirely sympathetic to those rare instances your dog decides to drop trou and you've got nothing on you but your warm little mittens. But I'm also of the opinion that anything that comes out of your dog, you own -- so if you're a repeat offender and habitually leave your "property" on mine, I'll be sure to follow you home and, like a vengeful Martha Stewart, find some refreshingly creative way to return it to you. Fun! ;D
Anyhoo, just curious if anyone else has noticed this problem, 'cause my only other option is to assume that my house has some sort of redneck voodoo curse.

Motion passed  And...to try to answer your question as I also live in Bay City....there are individuals who seem to only have the brain power to come up with that type of thing to amuse them - that and wrecking Christmas displays in other people's yards. I just call them our "village idiots". |

This form of local recreation is not unique to Bay City. I get the beer/soda/water bottles/cans and fast food bags of trash on a regular basis but no tampon wrappers so far. I feel sort of left out, maybe the south island crew can learn from the upper Rte 8 guys. I did get a smashed smart phone in my driveway a few days ago.

Haha, thanks for the nominations guys... Glad to know my yard isn't cursed by vengeful redneck spirits, after all... just live ones, I guess.
Speedergurl68: Love it, I'm stealing the phrase "village idiots" immediately.
Tommy: A smashed phone, you say?? Jealous. Although I guess I should just be thankful with all the "gifts" I've already been given, and the fact that they haven't included any severed body parts. Yet.

Don't forget the mailbox smashers.. they will be in full swing soon as the weather gets a little warmer. I have trouble with the fast food bags and cups and beer cans.. My road seems to be a favorite dumping spot. Very irritating. BTW, welcome to the site.. sometimes entertaining.. sometimes not. |

By the way, your dog poo part of the post reminded of an event many years ago that I still laugh at.. A friend of mine lived across the street from a retired Baltimore City police officer. They had another neighbor who had a small dog that he would walk down the street on a leash. His dog always seemed to get the urge right when he was at the retired officer's property. There were no sidewalks in the community. The guy would let his little dog go up on the police officer's lawn and dump. One day my friend was out in his yard and saw the guy walking down the street with the dog. He also noticed the police officer standing in his doorway watching. When the dog came up in his yard and dumped, the police officer burst out the door and ran down through the yard and on the run scooped up the deposit in his hand and slapped it right on the middle of the chest of the dogwalker. My friend was rolling in the yard laughing.. The dog walker filed an assault charge against the police officer. The dog was constipated for three weeks. |
