seriously, who the [expletive] still litters?
who the [expletive] still throws [expletive] on the ground outside or
out their windows? their is no excuse for this..

Only when there's not a trash can around

I bet there's a lot of crossover between litterers and the people who just leave their shopping cart wherever in the parking lot is most convenient for them.

That really grinds my gears.

Littering is about the laziest thing anyone can ever do. At no time are you more than a minute or two away from a trash can. "But I need this stuff out of my car right now!" The worst is when you see someone drop an entire bag of fast food out the window. Really? That stuff doesn't just disappear. Someone at some point has to pick that up.

It really sucks to be out in the backcountry somewhere and come across a pile of rubbish or some campsite festooned with food wrappers and cans. If I go float the Huzzah or some other Missouri waterway, I pick up every piece of trash in sight. I usually end up with a few bags of beer cans, plastic bottles, and other detrius.

a huge bag into the middle of the street.. it's also why my drive from home to work

If/When I see someone do that I'll do my best to get up next to them and give them the worst possible stinkeye ever. Throwing trash out like that is just uncalled for.

Maybe they should get the docellis 45 second horn treatment. Or just lay on the horn from the time they drop the bag until they turn around to go pick it back up.
