This pisses me off real bad

Loathe them. But not top 3. I can recall at least three times I’ve had to say something during movies:

1. A Beautiful Mind-Indian guy directly to my left was saying stuff to his wife
a lot the first 10-20 minutes. I finally asked him to please stop. He did.
2. Zero Dark Thirty-My wife and I were seated all the way at the back of the theatre. Four people came in and sat next to me. Three guys and a girl. One guy was jacked. I remember because one of his buddies was trying to be funny here or there during the movie... probably had made 3-4 comments. Not loud. But loud enough for me to hear two people away. The last one he said was, “Oh, I guess the CIA only hires hot females,” or something like that. I nervously (because guys can fly off the cuff and there were three of them and the one was jacked and I wondered ex-military given the film) without showing it but sternly said, “Can you please stop?!” I’d give that a half exclamation mark if I could. He stopped.
3. I can’t recall the third film. I want to say Mystic River but I might be wrong. There three oldish (50-55) year old men and a woman. One or two of the guys were talking some...I asked them to stop and iirc, the one guy said, “Are you serious?” And I quickly said, “Yeah, I’m serious.” Always hate having to say something because people are psychotic and idiots and who knows who has a weapon nowadays but wtf, I’m not watching a movie with someone talking during it. You wanna do that ****, watch it at ****ing home. They stopped.

I was in Inglorious Bastards and someone behind me was talking during one of the awesome translation scenes. I finally couldn't take it anymore and told him to stop talking. He immediately responded with, "do you know who I am?" I said, I don't give a **** who you are I'm trying to watch a movie. Stop talking.

He stood up, puffed his chest out and I was like Oh great, I'm about to get in a fight in a movie theater. He then said something to the girl he was with and they walked out of the theater.

What a douchebag.

There are parts of Montana very similar to what you're describing. It is not nice.

Bozeman is growing like crazy. I'd live in Helena in a heartbeat - I could probably live in Billings too (it's not as bad as the locals say.) I'd never live in Great Falls or Butte.

I don't mind Billings at all. Nice area. Not a fan of Helena or Great Falls. Butte has a certain appeal to it, for me.

I strongly dislike Bozeman. Little towns outside it are nice though.

The worst place for litter? Major highways. You can pull over on literally any busy highway at literally any point and there will be trash everywhere. Too much to even attempt to pick up cause you wouldn't make a dent.

No doubt. It’s absurd. On an off ramp a mile from my house there is always a ton of garbage. I’m guessing cars as they get on the ramp realize nobody ahead can see them and nobody behind can either if they seen no one is behind them in the rearview. Pisses me off.

My stepdad’s been out to Wyoming a few times. A couple times on dude ranches for like three weeks. Yellowstone. Maybe another time or two tbh. That’s where he’d like to live. If it wasn’t for my mom and his grandkids, he would.
 
Man, I recall this property in Maine I had my eye on about 4-5 years ago. 310 grand. 120 acres. A lake. Beautiful rolling land. A house that probably needed a good 80-150K in fixing up. Still. I loved the idea of having a retreat for us to venture to every summer for an extended time, the kids running around uninhibited, playing like kids do, exploring nature, fishing, hiking, picnics. The timing wasn’t quite right for us but it might be in a couple years.

In what way? Litter or people simply hitting up natural areas that had once been far less frequented?

Litter isn't too bad actually, except for dog **** on the trails.

More just a lot of the popular hikes you're doing with a stream of people. Closest/only lake/reservoir is packed. Not the same place I grew up with is all.

The worst part about dog **** on walking trails is the people who actually take the time to pick it up in little plastic bags, but then proceed to just leave the ****-filled plastic bags on the trail. I mean, WTF?
 
This honestly makes me want to go around and clean up my whole block. There are 16 houses on my block. Virtually no garbage. But I still want to do it. Almost want to do my whole side of a certain road. About 125-150 houses on this side. Might do that this summer and have the kids help.
 
So this has me wondering. I’ve said I will teach eight more years and retire. I wonder if I went to my town about 1-2 years before I retired with a proposal and told them, upon retirement, I’d like to have a job in town whereby I clean all pollution over the course of a year. I’d go in with data that shows pollution, or lack thereof, to real estate/community value. I’d have a mapped out plan of the entire town and a schedule for which exact parts of town I would clean when and why. They could pay me ****ing minimum wage for all I care and part-time would be preferred. Like 9-2 three days a week for 15 hours a week.

That would be $11,700 a year and make up for what I’d be losing by retiring a couple years early.

Not sure if it’s that worth it. Maybe if I did 8:30-2:30 three days a week. That’s be over 16 grand. I don’t know. I feel like the value it would add to the town would easily be worth it for them. It would also save DPW guys work (storm drains and such) and free them up for other work.
