A broken ostrich egg on the street where cars typically park. As if someone was unloading their groceries and dropped it.

It wasn't on the ground but I saw another runner carrying a roasting tray, like you would cook a turkey in. Unfortunately he had headphones on and couldn't hear me asking him what it was for. We weren't quite on a trail, but it was not the middle of town either.
Do what you want, just how you like. Nobody has to know.
Yuck . . . a used, bloated adult diaper!

The empty box that a new pistol was sold in. I got out of there as fast as I could. Quietly.
It was just today. Half a tampon...?

That reminded me - a multicolored wine bottle tree in a front yard I run by on one of my routes...

I don't think we can count that...it's a thing.

I thought my wife was crazy when she described those to me. Then I saw one. And I still don't see the point.

The point is to show everyone how much of a drunk you are.

Last week on one of my early morning runs, I nearly stepped on a recently-deceased opossum. Until the moment that my foot landed within a few inches of it, I thought it was a plastic grocery bag someone had dumped on the side of the road. It may be worth noting that I live in the city and the nocturnal creature in question was on the sidewalk in front of the local middle school.
Tonight I saw a banana peel, right in the middle of the path. I kept looking around for the hidden cameras.

I have seen someone slip on a banana peel. I also, just yesterday, saw a little girl licking a big lollipop.
Things I have not seen.
