litter your way – mar. 29

It looks like this person did. Please read on.

According to Keep Kansas City Beautiful, 54% of litter is deliberate and 44% is accidental.  On my daily afternoon walk with Homer today, I found this fast food bag and a discarded prescription refill bag along with the prescription receipt in the middle of the street several blocks from our house. I can’t believe that someone would be so stupid as to throw this very personal information out the window, especially in this day of identity theft. I wanted to give the ‘owner’ the benefit of the doubt and thought that MAYBE it fell out of the garbage truck. However, after taking a closer look at the receipts, it looks like the person chowed down on a cheeseburger at 4:23 p.m., then picked up their script at 4:30 p.m. Homer and I were in the area where we found the litter at about 5:00 p.m., so we just missed them. Of course, someone else may have been sent on this errand and discarded it inappropriately. Regardless, I packaged it all up and sent it to the owner, since it had the name, address AND refill number printed for all to see, and thought he’d want it back.

As I’ve said countless times before, it’s always interesting what I find while walking Homer. But, it looks like he’s going to ‘have it his way’ tonight.

    Your so awesome for mailing it back to him! If you included a note, what did it say?

    Well, I started out by giving him the benefit of the doubt, but also wanted to let him know that if he did indeed intentionally toss it to the street, I now know who he is, where he lives and that he takes Cialis. This information, of course, will never be revealed by me, but I wanted to make a point to him.
