How good are you when it comes to throwing things in trash cans? Whether it be paper wads, erasers, or anything.

I know I'm terrible because just yesterday I was hanging out with a friend at the mall and we got some icecream. So I had the idea of throwing my spoon into the trash can. It was about three feet away. I tossed it, it somehow flew upwards, went over the trash can, and almost hit this couple on the other side of the trash can.

If you have any good stories of amazing shots or misses or a good technique for throwing them (I've seen people get really serious about this, so I bet there's a technique somewhere for it), post it all here.

I was in my Latin class and this dude threw peice of paper at me, and when I tried to throw it at him I completely missed and it landed in the trashcan. I pretended I meant to throw it away :3

I'd say I'm average with most throwable items, though empty bottles (especiaoly liguter ones like pop bottles) have always been my nemesis.

As for a technique, it's somewyat amusing to do a fadeaway jump shot, and it tends to work forme.

I'm pretty average in my accuracy when I throw things into the trash can, but I've never really tried to get better at it, and I don't do it that often...

OMG!! Poor trash can!! Do you guys in America disrespect YOUR trashcans like that??? They are not a toy to play with! Here, we PUT our trash in the trash can. We never throw our trash.

((LOL, JK... Once, from 3 yards away, on a windy day, I threw an apple into a trash can. Nobody looked ))

It might be just me, but some days, I miss the easy shot and others, I can get one in a million feet away (exaggeration).

I hit everything... If I'm above the trashcan. Usually I walk to the front of the class with random papers just to get some movement.

I don't really need to throw the paper in the trash can just do it to impress the ladies.

My teacher said if I could make a shot (paper towel) from the other side of the room, there would be no homework for the day.

Now usually I suck at sports but I ended up making it. It ended up being a total waste because we didnt have homework anyway... >_<

I throw paper balls and such in trash cans sometimes. I find it remarkably easy to do a behind-the-back double double banker, as usually the trash can is in the corner.

4)We take the paper
5)SLAMDUNK!
