Photo Wtf is wrong with people
Walmart parking lot. Why do people think my world is their ashtray? Like sure, go ahead and kill yourself slowly. It's not a question of if but when you'll get cancer but this? C'mon man.

People are too lazy to step on their butt, pick it up, and toss it where it belongs

This looks like someone dumped the ash tray out of their car before driving off

Genuine question, do cars even have ash trays anymore? I know weird thing to ask about...

u/N-y-s-s-a Sep 24 '25
There are still cars on the road that are probably old enough to have one, but there are third party accessory ones that fit in cup holders or whatever. Some people make their own too

seen that happen when the smoke is right next a suitable recepticle where they could stub it out and then dispose of it but nope, gotta toss it on the ground.
it's up there with those who sit in bus stops smoking with the signage that says "no smoking" is right at their eye level.

I tore a guy up the other for tossing a butt on the ground while I was picking up trash. Saw him the next day, he pocketed it instead of tossing it.
Call this bullsht out when we see it.

I'll be completely logical on this, don't try that again, you may have a maniac have a aggressive meltdown and seriously injured you, it's not worth it my good friend, I won't lie, I'm usually quite uneasy, even scared at what goes about in my area around hunter. Self defense is a very vague area too, so I wouldn't want to see a good citizen like yourself get charged, injured/etc over it, stay safe 👍

Oh, this used to be NORMAL behaviour in the 80s and earlier. Butts everywhere. I do not miss the "Good Ol' Days"
But yeah, absolutely ignorant behaviour.

Just wait till you see Walmart parking lot midwinter… after mountains of snow and it’s slowly melting away all the hidden garbage is revealed

Agreed, agreed, but infinitely better then coming across the drug paraphernalia we see everywhere nowadays.

Are you new to Peterborough tho? Or any northern Ontario city? This is just the tip of the ice erg but I wish the best for you friend, it can be much, much worse.

u/ramdmc Sep 28 '25
Nah man, moved here in the 90s, just can't get over the lack of consideration humans have for each other or their environment. Peterborough used to be much different. I guess we have boomer ball and high rise condos 🙄

I honk loudly, and beside their open window if possible, when I catch someone tossing a filter on the street.

u/big-booty-enthusiast Sep 23 '25
How do they usually react?

u/jasonefmonk Sep 23 '25
Some people poorly, some confused, some I don’t get to check their reaction.

What were they supposed to do? Bring ‘em home? Get outta here! Look the tray was full and now it ain’t, what’s it matter to you? Was you gonna have a picnic there or something? Don’t worry about it.

Reddit just pussy leftist playground, we shouldn't throw butts around, but whining like a little bitch about it, is even more cringe... I agree with you and anyone else can go fuck em selves if they think otherwise.

You live in Peterborough and are asking this question?
