This is directed at the male cave divers-those ones who leave their catheter condoms laying on the picnic tables, the tank benches and the ground-get a grip guys, clean up after yourselves-a fellow cave diver disposed of the one left on the tank bench at P1 on Thursday.
Thanks for letting me vent-I won't say a word about the cigerette smokers right now. HA HA!
Thanks
Janet
I have notice that over the years divers in general have become less and less considerate of other dives. It is too bad and seems a reflection of the society at large.

Unfortunately I have to agree with you, we had four left in the park in the last week we had to clean up and a least a dozen in the last month, so it is more than one person. I'm told it is really bad at Ginnie-they even leave them in the showers there.

I'd rather see a catheter as a "loaded" baby diaper in a parking lot. That one really burns me! :x
Foam coffee cup, soda can or catheter, doen't matter to these morons. Trash is trash to them, something they can't be bothered with.Quote:

Janet, Thank you for caring enough about the park to pick up after these morons. I'm certain that phallic cleanup is not listed in a park rangers normal duties and responsibilities. Hopefully some peer pressure will stop this nonsense.
Agreed, thank you Janet, and everyone else who takes the time to clean up a mess that isn't theirs.
To the culprits: "Just because you have one, doesn't mean you have to be one."
That's sexist, Shirley. How do we know it isn't women leaving these condom catheters all over the place?Quote:

Since it's not my boat and the captain was one of the culprits I don't feel it's my place to say anything but I do wonder about the smokers mindset and the double standard. I've seen cave divers do it also. Are cigarette butts not litter and if not then how come you see so many of them laying all over the damn place!!!
Pick up after yourselves people! To do otherwise makes YOU worse than trash. :smt019
LOL, I'm busted! How TOTALLY thoughtless of me! Now that I think of it, I'm certain that NO man would ever do such a thing! Must be them dang-blasted wimin! :smt040Quote:

Not so fast, when I worked at Madison Blue and then transferred to Lafayette Blue...the women can be just as nasty at a man. They left an awful lot of "things" laying on the floor right next to the trash buckets we put in every stall in the womans bathrooms. I didn't particularly like picking those things up.Quote:

I agree. Discarded dirty diapers in parking lots, etc. is just inconsiderate, rude and ignorant. Might as well just crap in the parking lot.
As to those things being next to the trash bucket.....I guess she wasn't wearing her glasses. I figure if people got close at least they tried. I imagine you didn't find many on the picnic tables though. :wink:
Nope! Can't say that I did! Not on picnic tables anyway, found one or two on trails in the woods though.Quote:

I mean, we leave the caths for some poor diver, unable to afford a new cath of his own. He can always turn it inside out, and reuse it.Quote:

Dudes....I picked up two condom caths yesterday at Cow. If your going to just toss them, please don't toss them under the picknick table....Yuck..... I work as an ER Nurse and am familer with biohazerds and proper handling.....PLEASE pickup your own waste!!!!! Ken
I agree that pigs are pigs no matter what gender. But let's count our blessings, they are not crapping (and I mean literally) next to the porta potty like they do at Little River....
Janet, P-valves could always be banned from the park because obviously guys with P-valves are responsible....(just kidding, no flames now....just an extreme example of what could happen...)
Dive safe and pick up your trash,
Celia
Great, now I have to apply for my CCC [carry concealed catheter] :smt003Quote:

That's harsh, the doors to damn those things are hard to find when you are strung out on meth. I mean, just watch those people, something's not right.Quote:

Well, they might be made of cotton , I have no idea, never got that close. I had a litter gripper with a 4ft handle :-DQuote:

I covered an awful lot of ground picking up litter everyday. It would not have gotten a chance to biodegrade.
