Here it is on our lonely little cul de sac out in the wop-wops.
Who came all the way up the hill from town with a coffee in hand, turned the corner and threw his rubbish on our pristine little lane?
Our next door neighbour has just strimmed the top of the road and no, he doesn't buy takeaway coffee and he certainly wouldn't throw the container on his doorstep.
On the top road there are often croissant papers, empty water bottles and cheese pie papers thrown in the road. I presume the workers at the fish farm further down eat their breakfast on the move and just throw their rubbish when they finish. But not on our little lane.
I picked it up, with a plastic bag and threw it in the rubbish bin only 50 metres away. In these days of corona virus I made sure not to touch it with bare hands.
Darn this person, whoever it was!!
Shame on them
Very bad habit for someone to have.
ReplyDeleteVery bad. Take your darn rubbish home.
DeleteSome people are so lazy. Each time I walked on the beach I used to come home with other people's litter to drop into the bin placed right there.
ReplyDeleteYes, if there's a rubbish bin then why don't they use it??
DeleteI used to pick up rubbish on my walks but haven't since Covid 19. One thing that surprised me was when they took the rubbish bin away from the park and playground behind us that there was far less rubbish. It used to be all around the overflowing bin but now not much at all.
ReplyDeleteThat is strange. People are strange!
DeleteThat makes me so angry. I'm always picking up other people's rubbish, but I suppose you're right; we need to be more careful.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised I thought of covid 19 I was so annoyed.
DeleteIt never ceases to amaze me that someones who go to remote and or beautiful places to enjoy the view, bucolic tranquillity, nature's beauty, get their perfect social media photo... can think nothing of dropping their waste there and starting or adding to the destruction of the very features they came to enjoy. My favorite imagining while we are cleaning up the beach here is that every piece of rubbish someone leaves on a beach anywhere comes back to haunt them personally every time they go to any beach and they find themselves only able to bask on a bed of their own filth.
ReplyDeleteAnd good on you for being the person who picked it up.
Good image to hold!! We always have a bag for rubbish, on a walk, drive, and I've trained my kids to do the same
DeleteI wonder if you will ever find out who dropped it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe your little lane is the new 'lovers lane' and things are thrown around in passion :)
I would have called in CSI but the DNA would have been corrupted by the time they arrived.....as in never
DeleteIt is a strange phenomena that these sort of things appear out of thin air anywhere and everywhere. For instance, even my garden where nobody ever goes except me yielded a strange alien coffee cup the other day. It did not scare me into thinking somebody had been here because neighbours either side have gardeners etc. and I put it down to them and their lunch breaks although I cannot imagine that they would really have anything but flasks but it is like I imagine if we arrive on Mars the first thing we will see will be an old coffee cup laying on a barren tundra of black.
ReplyDeleteSame tale exactly. Where the hell did your coffee cup come from?
DeleteThis just jumped out at me it was so unusual. And so few people come up and down our road, you'd have thought we'd have noticed a stranger.
The rocket to mars will probably have a ton of earth's rubbish to drop off.
At least you have rubbish bins. Passing motorists seem to be the culprits where I live in the countryside next to the sea.
ReplyDeleteThe rubbish bins are surrounded by rubbish but at least the majority is removed daily. But yes there are big bins at regular intervals
DeleteI hate people dropping litter it drives me mental. I have a question.... I am looking for a recipe really. I cant remember where we stopped, but one of the meze plates we had, was a carrot salad. now it wasnt grated carrots it was large pieces that had been cooked. There was cumin and cinnamon in it and it had a tangy sauce/dressing. Do you know what this is called please so I can look for it. by the way the carrots were still orange, where I found another recipe and the carrots had been cooked with paprika and they were a red pink in the picture. this isnt what it looked like. it was carrots with a dressing and on top had very thin slivers of garlic and a chopped nut garnish. gosh I am so bad at describing this all. really it is cooked carrots with a dressing served cold or room temp. lol do you possibly know the name please... lol
ReplyDeletethanks
Hi Sol, the carrot salad that I know is raw grated carrot simply dressed with lemon juice and olive oil. Possibly they make it more gournet now and add cumin and other spices. A lot of vegetables are simply boiled and eaten with a lemon and oil dressing and maybe some herb or spice and garlic. Sounds like yours was very up market. If I find out anything more I'll let you know
DeletePs sounds more middle eastern to me
DeleteYou have to wonder what their house looks like
ReplyDeleteMakes me so mad when I see litter
Exactly!
DeleteYou have reminded me, I need to get back to work picking up the litter on our lane, too.
ReplyDeleteI know, you have a lot worse. Damn litterers
