Missing Category

Posted on by

I almost forgot one superlative from our cross country trip.

Riding day-in and day-out on the shoulder of America’s highways exposes one to a very good sampling of trash.  So the missing category is:

Biggest Contributors to Highway Trash:

1. Smokers.  Let’s face it, smokers can be pigs in many ways, and there is no exception when it comes to littering.  Butts, filters, empty packs, foiled paper, cellophane wrappers – everything seems to go out the car window.

2. Users of 5-Hour energy products.  I swear, the instructions must read, “Uncap.  Consume.  Toss out window.”

3. Users of those little plastic floss things.  How many people are flossing their teeth while they drive?  Apparently lots.
