My New Weekly Rant / Retorical Question / Comment Column
Why is it that when people throw their cigarette butts on the ground, either from their car or as they walk, get made at ME when I politely let them know that they dropped something?
One noticeable difference between Judas Priest and Metallica...
...Judas Priest only has one gay guy in the band.

Look, I smoke. It annoys the living crap out of me when my "fellow" smokers use the planet as their ashtray. And to casually flip a cigarette from a moving car anywhere, yet particularly here in drought filled South Florida is not only bone-headed, it is blatantly irresponsible and wreckless.
By the way, am I the only fucker on the planet that buys his own smokes anymore? What is it that states that by the mere act of lighting a cigarette, I am immediately part of some benign "brotherhood", making it incumbent upon me to hand out cigarettes to complete strangers that instantly approach upon seeing the act, inquiring "Hey, can I bum a smoke?"
If the person asks if they may "purchase" one (nominally displaying a quarter in hand), I have no problem with it, and more often than not give them a couple, as there is some inherant understanding of commerce at work here.
One wishes that the rest of these fuckwitted, mooching pariahs would get a clue. One of my favorite lines from a film is: "Why don't you quit smoking? It would be cheaper for both of us." (Midnight Run)Last edited by chefcraig; 04.24.07 at 10:55 AM.

It never fails tho. People see you light up, they figure all aboard you know? I know I do that whenst I run out of smokes on those rare occasions when I venture out and about. But I try and keep a pack just in case.
Smoke if ya gott'em.
I hate that too tho. Especially being thrown out of cars on the freeway or highway. That's what frickin ashtrays are for people!!!RIP - Classic Van Halen
