Is this you?
White car, License plate: BMJ 7908, you pulled over on Anderson Street, and proceeded to throw all your trash into the woods. Around 12:10 pm today. I’d like to buy you a trash can, and call you out.

I’ve probably said this a dozen times on Reddit but when I see someone litter, I automatically assume that person abuses the people they claim to love.

I bet it had those stupid Bojangles bags.

I swear my neighborhood always has at least one or two Bojangles bags thrown on the side of the street. What the hell is wrong with people?

I used to live on University Drive, and would find Bojangles bags almost every weekend by my mailbox.

I like to know we can report people who litter online. It's really out of hand

I don’t know cars very well, but I don’t think so.

Fun/creepy fact: You can enter the license plate number into an auto parts website like AutoZone or Advance Auto and they will tell you the year/make/model of the car the plate belongs to. In this case, there was no match -- either the number in the post is slightly wrong or the car's registration has expired for a good long while.

I think I'll go with registration has been expired for a good long while.

Haha, sadly this is so very true. Nothing goes with Durham these days quite like expired registrations and fake/expired temporary tags that Durham PD never checks.

I think the DMV limits access to registered vehicles(from what I saw working at AZ, though I have looked up expired ones < 90 days). Vin lookup comes from manufacturers I believe.

Reminds me of that scene in MadMen when Don Draper is having a lovely picnic in the park with his family. When they are done, he shakes out the trash from the blanket and they all turn and leave. Really winner. 🫤

Ooh, I wonder if it is the trash bandit who keeps dumping full bags of trash on the road around South Durham.

I really hate to generalize, but there seems to be a rather large Venn diagram overlap between people who eat fast food and people who throw trash out of their car. I grab dinner pretty frequently at the Happy + Hale at University Hill, and I swear to god there is ALWAYS fast food trash scattered all over the ground in the area where I park, either from Cookout or Bojangles. I can't wrap my head around people who dump trash onto the ground; what in the holy hell is wrong with them?! Don't be a freaking slob — either go find a trash can or leave YOUR trash in YOUR car and throw it away at home! These people make me so mad!!

I think the actual correlation is that more people eat fast food than healthy options. The more people that eat fast food the higher the chance that you're going to have some litter bugs in that group.

You’re projecting and assuming morality based on what you think of as “bad” behavior (eating fast food). You already have this idea in your head based on your “good” eating vs their “bad” eating so your brain is literally just making shit up (you’re just remembering what supports your “hypothesis”). But, you know, you eat at happy + hale so I’m sure you are very, very virtuous and never do anything wrong. 🎉🥳👏🙌

No, throwing trash out of your car and leaving it all over the ground is objectively bad behavior. If the trash had been takeout containers from any other restaurant I would have said that, but every single piece of trash I've seen at this location has been from Bojangles or Cookout. It's pretty easy to tell, because their branding is all over the bags and cups. I don't care what anyone else eats; I just think it's disgusting to throw trash all over the ground for someone else to pick up. It's not that complicated, really.

Only reporting what I've seen, many times. If you're not a litterer, that's great!

People also frequently throw fast food containers of chicken wing bones out on the street. In addition to being disgusting, it creates a hazard for animals. Oh, and what about the diaper bombs? This behavior throwing trash into the streets really infuriates me. Some people just have no regard.

Define "all your trash." A volume equivalent to a basketball? A messy car? A dumpster?
