Home and Auto Protocol: Throwing an apple core out your car window. - Page 4

**Rain Man** · 09-30-2016, 11:09 PM

I was driving in a very rural area today, and I enjoyed a nice crisp apple while I drove.

Now, the challenge with apples and driving is that you eventually end up with an apple core, which most people don't eat. So I'm driving, and I think that I should throw the apple core out the window. It's 100 percent biodegradable, right?

But I couldn't do it. I'm so trained to not throw trash out the window that I couldn't do it. It wasn't even a fear of public shaming if someone saw and misunderstood; it was pure habit and training. I feel like it's actually probably more environmentally responsible to throw it out the window rather than putting it in a trash can and transporting it to a landfill. But I still couldn't do it.

What's your opinion on throwing apple cores out car windows?

I'm not sure whether the prefix here should be "Home and Auto" or "Food and Drink", so I hope it doesn't confuse anyone.

Why not in a city where there are people paid to clean that shit up, but do it in the country where most people actually care about their land and are stuck cleaning up after you.

You're scared to be seen doing it.

****ing asshole

Oh yeah, I also mount my phone to my windshield and watch movies during long trips. Its absolutely fantastic and makes the trip go so much smoother.

Can't say I'd be "without hesitation" although my delay would be to make sure there wasn't anybody around. I know it's okay, that's enough. Its not a conversation I want to have with a concerned citizen bystander, or a cop.

So do I. However, my extreme laziness prevents me from emptying it when I should so it ends up spilling out anyway. Then I have a larger mess to clean up.

As for Apple cores, chuck away.

You're a ****ing asshole. I hope one day you miss your turn while watching that movie (no idea why that comes up in this thread) or throwing your shit out in the country and really **** yourself

I wouldn't do it myself but I have no problem if it's just an apple core. People that throw cigarette butts, QuikTrip cups or anything like that out of their car are terrible people and I hope their car explodes with them in it.

If it's edible I'll toss it out the window for nature to use. I'll generally try and throw it into a bush so it isn't a blight to the community for the few days it survives.

I don't think I'd worry about hitting a chimp or gorilla as much as actually car sliding on the banana peel that you threw out and lose control spinning round and round and then into the other lane and and get smashed by an 18 wheeler then other cars smash into the wreck causing 20+ car pile up and carnage blood and guts and death spilled all over the highway and it will be all your fault.

Shame on you Rain Man

No, of course not.

Apples contain carbon and as they break down more carbon. And carbon is bad.

The UN says so...
