Pigs.
I came upon this on my morning groundpound. Yes, it is an abandoned public phone thingy, which has been used as a trash receptacle by one or more pigs. The photo (I apologize for its lack of clarity – cell phone pic) does not show the other trash on the ground in the immediate vicinity of the phone thingy.
Let me set the scene and describe what most certainly happened.
The phone thingy is located at a bus stop. One or more pigs obviously bought their victuals at the convenience store, which is approximately twenty paces from the phone thingy. They carried their meals the twenty paces to the bus stop and consumed them, presumably while waiting for the bus.
After finishing their meal, they decided that the trash can that was approximately fifteen paces from the phone thingy was just too far to walk. So, the pigs decided to foul their immediate area, knowing they would eventually be taken away from the scene on a bus, thereby leaving their shit for someone else to pick up.
That really pisses me off.
Actually, referring to these animals as “pigs†is an insult to pigs, because pigs don’t shit where they eat.
That is a clearly Broken Window.

Lazy bastards is more like it.

Jim, clearly you are living in an underserved section of the Garden State. Pigs are everywhere-the two-legged kind, I mean. Perhaps a crack community organization such as ACORN could clear up your suburban blight for only a few million tax dollars. Removal of the old pay-phone thingy and a crash course in the wonders of diversity could do your unorganized community wonders. I’ll give ol’ Bertha Lewis a call for you…oh wait-the phone is gone from the pay phone-thingy!

I glad you clarified that pigs wouldn’t make this kind of mess. BTW, that is an excellent link about pigs; a pig primer, so to speak.

It seems as though there are all too many “people” out there today that were raised by wolves.
No self-respect… and even less respect for others.
It’d be sweet to catch ’em in the act, and have a three-iron handy with which to smack a few heads.

That’s fraped up, but the sad thing is, it happens everywhere. I’m downtown with Elisson, but, I’d use one-iron.

Know exactly what you mean. When I lived in Montclair, I caught the bus on Bloomfield Ave. There was a big trash container right beside the bus stop. If you looked at the sidewalk around the bus stop you would think nobody saw the trash container. Empty soda bottles, food containers, empty cigarette packs all over the place within 2 feet of the trash container. I was getting on the bus and the guy right behind me stood right beside the container and dropped his coffee cup on the sidewalk. He would have had to move his had about 6 inches. And Montclair is anything but a low rent community. Pigs would be an improvement over these people.

Uggh. Makes me want to stab them.

This kind of thing doesn’t happen everywhere. At least in small western rural towns it don’t. And if it did, everyone would know who was doing it.

This shit really pisses me off. Idiots.

This obviously was not an act of illegal aliens. All their shit goes to the ground with a trash can not 10 feet away. Hell with placing it somewhere. Don’t even get me started on used baby diapers. Consider yourself lucky.

Ahhh, welcome to my neighborhood Jimbo! I feel like I live in litte Tia Juana with all the trash, dirty diapers and dog crap that is all over my complex. One day while driving in I watched some Puta throw her water bottle in the gutter. Mind you, the side walk she was on had a trash can just a few feet in front of her. Our complex has many trash cans; there is no excuse for this behavior other than the fact that people are lazy, incosiderate slobs.
