I work in logistics and I’m bored so I did a little math to show you why you probably won’t entice a driver at $75 unless your path and theirs align pretty closely. Delivery joints running the kind of route you’re looking for stay afloat through volume.

Let’s assume you did this run yourself with a pickup truck. You can rent them from U-Haul. Rates for RVA are $19.95+$.89/mi(200mi)+$3.10/gal(10gal)=$228.95ish for a day rental. The equipment cost of $.89/mile is a pretty average reimbursement rate to account for the maintenance cost incurred by using the car. Minus the $20 U-Haul is charging on top of that, you’re still looking at ~$200 trip without the cost of someone else’s time and labor.

Edit: actually, let’s call it ~$170 trip. I should have subtracted the cost of gas to account for the mileage rate U-Haul is charging.

He loves it when a plan comes together.

My personal favorite DIY is a compressed airhorn. When it gets loud outside your window/door, it's highly effect in sending a stfu announcement for you. And your neighbors who are equally annoyed by the screaming will be tapping you on the back the next day, laughing at the ingenuity.

What would that accomplish? Most likely somebody who has nothing to do with what you’re angry about having to clean up that mess. Find constructive ways to vent your anger where the people who actually deserve it are the ones affected. Also don’t litter or be a petty criminal if you want to accomplish anything, all it does is sow further division and give them ammo.

Went for some metal bands, I thought it was perfectly fine. No problems getting drinks, no issues with the show. It was a good time
