Pick up your damn trash in the OU parking lots!

I don’t have a wide angle lens on my cell phone, but I wish I did. This is just a cluster of trash including KFC wrappers, empty clamshells from Chartwells and a few other pieces of random BS splattered around Parking Lot 1 on Oakland University’s campus. I understand a banana peel or apple core here and there. That’s more or less returning something back to its natural state.

But your trash? Does littering give some sort of thrill that I just don’t know about? Honestly, I’d rather steal a lipstick or kiss a random stranger for a cheap thrill. For all the effort and the money that is going into making OU — oh yeah, and the entire world — a better place, there seems to be plenty of people that are willing to cancel it all out by being lazy, selfish and thoroughly irritating. I know, it’s nice out.

It’s time to empty out the hooptie and cruise around with the windows down. But put it into a trash can for crying out loud.
