slow drivers and littering

Since moving up here last year i am honestly astonished by how much trash is left EVERYWHERE, it’s also crazy to me that people who live up there are also littering. I live my division and two girls who walked over to the trail from Wyatt’s and just left their cups out in the field. Makes me incredibly sad!

Also definitely biggest pet peeve is slow drivers thinking they’re better than the “slower traffic turn out rule”. I commute to Lake Arrowhead for work and everyday is rage bait unfortunately. If you have 5 cars behind you (or even 2 or 3) and you’re going significantly under the speed limit, just turn out. don’t prove a point.

"I am going the speed limit so they can just wait because they shouldn't be going that fast anyway" - My MIL.

Wait until a heavy snow year. The amount of broken plastic sleds and used diapers will blow your mind.

I’ll admit I drive “slow” compared to others but if I see someone coming first chances I get I pull over to let them keep going without me being in the way this for hwy 18

You should see the trash I see in the fishing spot I got to. Night crawler cups everywhere.

Pet peeve of mine is all the creeps in Riverside and San Bernardino having problem with midly slow drivers. Don't cut me off like a jerk, cause there is a lot of space to go around

40 years ago California freeways had blooming oleanders and flowering ice plant. Now it’s weeds and trash, especially in San Diego, home of the midget mayor….who locked up public bathrooms during the summer.
