I had to do 50 hours community service for illegal dumping when I was like 19.
I was home for college and had gone out drinking one night. My mom wouldn't yell at us if we came home late, she would make us get up at like 7:00 am and do chores and stuff. She told me to go return the bottles and cans to the grocery (this was in NY, and you had to pay a five cent deposit on cans and bottles) So, I went to the grocery, but there was a line and I was hung over so I left. I went to a gravel pit near town where people went to drink. I set the bags down; I figured someone would find them and take them back for the $4 or whatever. The second I set them down a cop pulled up. Then the judge gave me 50 hours community service.
I did the first 40 in a snowstorm and shovelled snow. The last 10 I swept a sidewalk and picked up trash while these old dudes laughed at me and said stuff like, "He's working for the judge."
