Intro and WWMLD

[mrsg123]

Hi all. Long time lurker here. I have a 21 mo old dd and a dd turning 5 next week. I post mainly on S&B and sporadically on MMM. I thought I should intro and lurk less since this board keeps me entertained and I want to participate. So hi!

My WWYD question: WWYD if you found a bag of crystal meth on your sidewalk? This happened to us yesterday. Curious what others' responses would have been.

[cville]

I'd be like "what the hell is in that bag?" because I'm old and straightlaced and wouldn't recognize crystal meth on sight.


If I knew it was crystal meth, I'd call the non-emergency police number, probably.

[citrusmint]

Call the cops, so they can dispose of it properly.

[my4girls]

I am not sure I would have any idea it was meth. was it blue? lol. but I would probably pick up the trash on my sidewalk and throw it away. if I KNEW it was meth- maybe call the cops? I don't know. We live in small town suburbia- they would come for that, maybe not in a larger city

[VeryViolet]

How did you know it was crytal meth? I would probably just kick it to the side because I have no idea what meth looks like. LOL

[bcv513]

I wouldn't have known it was crystal meth either. Definitely call the cops so they can get rid of it before a kid or animal gets into it

This, except I'm not old. Just have no idea what it looks like!

But yes, non-emergency police number.

[mrsgoontz]

I can see how you knew it was probably drugs but I can't say I would have been able to ID meth itself. I most likely would have just thrown it away.

[BaliHai]

What everyone else said- I'd have no idea what it was, so I'd probably not think anything of it/ignore it. If I knew, though, I'd call the PD.

And welcome!

Shut up, youngun.  And GTFO my lawn.

[mrsg123]

Interesting. I guess we knew it was crystal meth BC of Breaking Bad, lol. That is for sure what it was. We disposed of it but did not call the cops as we thought it would take them forever to show.

I would thank my lucky stars I finally had an excuse to call up Jesse Pinkman because rowr.

And then I would call the non-emergency police number.

[trafficgirl]

I also have no idea what the hell crystal meth looks like so would probably just walk past it.

If I knew what it was and found it in our neighborhood, I'd probably go to the fire station across from our house to tell them. I realize not everyone has this option.

Oh, FUCK NO would I touch that bag.  Nuh-uh.  No way.  Never ever ever.

I mean.  NO.

Just no no no no.

[zoomzoom]

I would have picked it up and thrown in a public trashcan b/c I have no idea what meth looks like but wouldn't want it in my trash. Or call the non-emergency police line. Our response time is usually under 5 minutes so it wouldn't have been that long to wait.

I'm sorry, I was trying to figure out a way to say that without actually calling you old but... I failed. I'm sorry Also, I have no idea how old you are, that's not what I would have guessed!

[MWOS]

sold it, bitch

You touched it??

[flex]

Don't throw it into a trash bin! It needs to be disposed by the experts so it doesn't get into the water table!!

[karmasabiotch]

Don't you people watch Breaking Bad?

I would call the police so they can dispose of it.

AND YOU SHOULDN'T BE PUTTING YOUR FINGERPRINTS ON ILLEGAL DRUG PACKAGES IN FULL VIEW OF YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD DEALERS AND/OR BUSYBODIES AND/OR KIDS LOOKING TO SCORE.

I mean, yeah, the water table too.  But, dang people.  USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.

Mmm-hmm.  

[cinnamoncox]

I would never ever know it was meth. If I suspected it was drugs of some sort, I would call the authorities. They would know what to do.

I wouldn't even know how to properly dispose of it even if I knew it was meth. Can it just be flushed?
I'd certainly not want it around me and I would not want my finger prints on it or have it touch my skin or something.

I'm no straight arrow, but meth's no joke.

[Deleted]

[citrusmint]

Don't touch any drugs if you don't know what they are. Ever. Never ever ever.

And throwing it into the garbage is a terrible idea because animals/people can get into the garbage or the garbage goes to the dump and your delicious battery/cold medicine/match-head concoction is now leaking into the water you drink.

[starlily]

I'd call the non-emergency police line.

Also, fingerprints can't be lifted off of plastic baggies.

I used to watch Law and Order but I don't think I would consider it as factual so if I saw meth on breaking bad (I don't wAtch) I wouldn't necessarily think it's 100% accurate.

And where the hell do you live where a call to the cops that you found a random bag of meth wouldn't be responded to?

Exactly! I work in one of the busiest most high crime areas of my city, and we respond (medium priority) when people call about bags of weed, and that's pretty tame stuff.
