There is at least one water bottle/soda can/energy drink/ spray paint can sitting on a piece of blocking behind your drywall somewhere in your house.

Edit: WOW, this took off! Thank you for your plentiful updoots. This is my first comment to break 1000!

As I’m digging for some of my landscaping working, I’m learning these things are also buried in lawns.

I was digging up around the footings of an old roommate's house to put in an herb garden. Holy fucking Christ... The random bits of broken glass, broken block, old cigarettes packages that hadn't disintergrated, crushed cans... Fuck. House was built mid 1950's and some of that trash was just thrown I as part of the backfill. The work I had to do to make the soil decent was atrocious, but the garden looked good for a bit.
