It's been a minute, but Hillmomba's hooligans are at it again, chucking furniture all willy-nilly about the countryside. I guess common littering is too tame for them, although there are still plenty of McDonald's bags and glass beer bottles that say differently.
On the way home from town Tuesday, I turned off the lettered highway, onto our blacktop county road, and saw THIS within 100 feet:
They were barely off the main road! They were visible to traffic driving along that lettered highway. Not even trying to be secretive!
That's a COUCH! Might not look like it from this angle, but it's an upside down sofa. A divan driven to the country and tossed barely off the driving surface. You know that one person couldn't do that. It took at least two ne'er-do-wells to dump their unwanted furniture on the side of a public thoroughfare.
I really need to get back to work on my proposed handbasket factory. Society is breaking down faster than I had anticipated.
I am seeing plenty of furniture on footpaths here right now, mostly porch and garden furniture that got ruined in the storm and flooding last week. It's all legal dumping though and a truck will cart it all away.
ReplyDeleteRiver,
ReplyDeleteNobody's carting this one away! I think the towns might have one day a month that residents can set out large items on the curb. Maybe less frequently.
We are supposed to phone the local council and get a permit for footpath pickup but I think many people don't remember or simply don't know if they are new to the city or new to the country as immigrants.
ReplyDeleteThink how irritated you would be to find the dumpster you pay for full of auto parts? Then try explaining how the world works to a complete idiot who doesn't understand why his trash in mour dumpster should be a bother. That must have been someone who camped with us in the past!! Just drop it somewhere, just not on your own property and it is no longer your problem.
ReplyDeleteKathy,
ReplyDeleteAt least YOUR ne'er-do-well grasped the concept that trash goes in a dumpster, even though one paid for by YOU!
