Road rage

By Anonymous - 01/10/2010 13:47 - United Kingdom

Today, when I stopped at a light, I tossed a banana peel into a field along the side of the road. The man behind me got out of his car, picked up the banana peel and threw it back into my car at me. When I tried to tell him it was biodegradable, he told me to "stop making up words." FML

Why would you throw a banana peel on the ground? Don't you watch cartoons?

It's still trash. Throw it in your own yard and have it biodegrade on your own property. What's that? You don't want trash in your own yard? I thought so. I'm sure the field owner doesn't want your trash either.

fields on the sides of roads have no private owners and belong to the state. it's a field not a person's yard. and yes that's fine I put apple cores, banana peels, etc on my garden.

Erm, that's not always the case. Where I live, most fields are privately owned by farmers, and quite a few are next to some form of road.

#90 - I've read a lot of stuff on FML that was staggeringly, mind-numbingly wrong, but your statement has just made my top ten. In the UK, quite often privately owned fields come right up to the road, sometimes without even a shoulder.

Same in the States, Zeb. Not every field every where is government-owned and if it was, you could easily get fined for littering on government property. If OP is so keen on helping soil along, she could've waited to get to her own place and composted the thing. I quite like to walk and play in a local field and I don't enjoy coming across biodegradeable litter.

Exactly - dog poo in a public park is biodegradable, but you still have to dispose of it properly.

I was driving behind a van once... And within the 5 blocks I was following him, he threw out a sandwich wrapper, some crumpled receipts and 3 separate pieces of tissue. I should've done what the man behind OP did.

To all you people that can't think and say "it's better than a landfill" - suppose we all should through our biodegradable garbage on the side of the road? Yes, I think that's much better. Lunatics.

I heard about someone in Britain who was fined for littering after accidentally dropping a hotdog. Your gov't is wack!

They make banana pills? Do they have the same nutritional value? Cause I'm too busy sometimes to eat all my servings of fruits and banana pills would be a lot quicker and easier to consume.

No way in hell, dude woulda been able to throw that banana peel back in my car. No. Way. In. Hell.

"Biodegradable" doesn't mean "Let's me be an asshole and throw my shit onto to street."
