I have lived in my apartment for years, but every spring when the snow melts, there are her butts. She's a very nice lady, and I don't want to be rude. But I have to look at the yard, too. What should I do?

Say, "Mrs. Landlady, I really enjoy the springtime and being outside. I was wondering if it would be possible to have a nice trash can placed out here by the front door with a place on the top for cigarette butts. I think it would just make the scenery out here in front look all that much better. What do you think?"

her yard her say. You could get a standing ashtrey for the yard that may help. You could also ask her to stop, but agin its her yard if she wants to through butts then she has the right to.
If she wont stop and it bugs you fid and kid and give him $5 a week to pick them all up

Well, since it is her yard, I don't think there is anything you can do about it. I admit it is disgusting. Does she have the yard cleaned up in the spring? She should if she does not.

I agree with the first answer.. A nice ash tray.. Maybe she will get the point..

get an old coffee can, keep it by the door, point it out as a convenient (and tidy!) place to butt out, and if she's really a 'very nice lady' she'll cooperate!

Just go and clean them up. Don't say anything.

pile them up in a nice little mound in a big ashtray. That should do it.
