Well something must be in the air today, as I was in full form.

I went to Zaxby's today, for some of their addictive chicken goodness.
It's 76 degrees outside, and beautiful, so I decide to sit outside.

I love people watching. I don't know why I do, but's it's just something I enjoy doing. So I am sitting here eating my lunch, outside. And I am watching all the people in line for the drive through. I see a nice chevy truck, and am looking at it, when I see it.....The old man driving it, sticks his hand out, and lets the cigarette butt drop to the ground, still lit. Evil or Very Mad

Look it's no secret, I hate cigarettes, the smoke, the smell, the after smell, the look, the overall thing. I never complain to people around me smoking, and never rag my friends for it. But the biggest thing I cannot stand, and have no problem stating, is some lazy POS who throws their cigarette butt out on the ground. Listen, you wanna kill yourself, fine. But don't trash this place because of it.

Well something in me just said, "nope, don't let it slide". So I get up, walk over, pick up the butt off the ground and say, "Excuse me sir, you dropped this". Attempting to hand him back his lit cigarette.

He smiles, and says "no no I'm done with it, thanks".........

Me: "Oh I know you're done with it, but you threw it on the ground instead of putting it in your ashtray."

Him: "So?"

Me: "That's what it's there for, for you to putt your cigarette butts in, not to throw them on the ground so everyone has to deal with your filthy mess".

Now he looks at me amazed because I'm pretty sure no one has said this to this guy before. And let me describe him: Old guy, white t-shirt, jeans, and looks like he's been smoking since the teat.

He then states: "I'm not taking that, just leave it there and go on, and leave me alone"

Me: "I'm not leaving this on the ground, you threw it out, now take it and dispose of it properly". I also realize now how arrogant and condesending that sounds, but I don't care.

He tries to ignore me, and just acts like a grumpy old man.

So then apparently a fuse blew in my mind. This dumb old codger(sp) wasn't going to even acknowledge that he was littering.

So what do you do to make sure he understands?

Flick the lit cigarette at him, in his truck. Laughing

I swear I did not think he was going to react like he did. You would have thought someone had thrown a rattlesnake in his truck with him. He begins to scream and cuss, jumping frantically trying to grab the cigarette which has now rolled off of him onto his bench seat.

Now at some point in his utter panic of the terror of an item he had just had in his mouth, being on his seat, he lets off his brake.......

Yep.

BONK!!! He just rolled into the car in front of him. Laughing Now I'm trying to keep from laughing as I know this isn't good. All I could think of "oh sh*t, was that my fault?" Can I get blamed for that? UH-OH

Well the owner of the front car calls the cops, and now I'm thinking......BAIL HAUGY, RUN!!!!

Well you would think someone had been robbing all the donuts in the world. 2 minutes, no BS a cops rolls up. Shocked I couldn't get them to my house that fast when I had a gun put to my head. Jeezus.

Well now I realize, I'm probably screwed, so I might as well at least get to eat my lunch. Meanwhile the old guy is screaming bloody murder at me, and a couple of times starts heading in my direction like he's gonna try and fight me.

So the cop rolls up, the two parties give their story. The old guy was loud enough to hear. "This SOB right there came and flicked a cigarette at me, and caused me to crash into this car here, it's his fault. That little bastard was just laughing the whole time". Now he's asking the cop to arrest me for assault, attempted arson ( Rolling Eyes ), and property damage. And just chewing into the cop.

Of course, now it's my turn. Cop comes over, and asks me what happened. I calmly and politely said, the guy threw a cigarette butt on the ground, I picked it up and told him he was littering. I tried to give him the cigarette back, and he wouldn't take it. So I gave it back to him. He then panicked and lost control of his truck. " The honest truth.

The cop must have understood, cause he called the old guy over and said "did you throw a cig on the ground?".

"Well......yes sir, but"

"So you were littering?" The officer interupted.

"Well......no sir, I mean I was going to pick it up"..... Rolling Eyes Laughing You should have seen the cops face on that one.

The officer then sums it up for both of us:
"Here's what I see, you littered, this guy tries to pick it up for you, you don't want to take it, so he gives it back to you. In your clumsiness, you lost control of your vehicle and bumped the other car." Cool

Holy sh*t you should heard the obscenities coming from the old guy. The cop looks at me, and says "you can go".

And gone I went. That was awesome.

WOW awesome, I have always thought of doing that whenever I see it. I am the same way when it comes to cigarettes, it's all disgusting. Another thing I hate is when I see cigs on the ground next to the garbage, how lazy can you be not to just throw it away and not the ground.

haugy, imagine if you did call the police, they would have answered the phone, you would have told them what happened, then all for some odd reason the phone would have been disconnected, you would still be there sayin hello, hello, and by then his deisel truck just dumped a fat cloud of black smoke on you, so in short the hard ass way works, but one day you might end up trying it on the wrong guy.

Funny read but if you through a cig butt into my car I would have punched you in the face and skated well before the cops got there. That old man showed some control IMO

haugy, Laughing Laughing wow. Good stuff.

I'm not usually that confrontational. If I were going to do something like that I'd probably just pick it up and throw it in the bed of his truck.

jt09, If im driving down the road I do but if im at a drive through I don't simply because of people that would make a big deal out of it and like I said, if someone did to me what Haugy did, i'd lose my temper pretty quick. I have no problem with someone saying something or making a smartass comment but to actually throw it back into the vehicle, that deserves an azz kicking as far as im concerned.

intotheflats, Smokey sez "only you can prevent dumbassed fires caused by inconsiderate smokers who toss butts from moving vehicles".

Seriously. We (in CA) waste millions in taxpayer dollars every year putting out fires due to people who toss butts. Not to mention the environmental impact.

Use your ashtray man!

I understand where your coming from and im not making excuses for myself but I live in Ohio. Any idea when the last "forest fire" was in Ohio? I'm quitting smoking soon anyway so I'll be throwing toothpicks out the window in the future Laughing

I'm a smoker and I have the utmost respect for you doing that

I hate it when people litter, (esp. ciggarette butts) or smoke in places where it can bother other people (food places, right outside of high traffic doors, etc)

It really is selfish. You have an ashtray in your car but you don't want the cigarette or smell in your car so you throw it out the window?

chavez, No more acronyms for you!!!

What's this? Haugy went to lunch and something ridiculous happened?


I don't believe it. Laughing

Haugy, good work man. Way to hold your own, the world needs more people in the world to call them on their crap.

ridininmd, oh no question, it was a major d!ck move. But it wouldn't have been necessary if the guy owned up to what he did, take the cig back, and put it in the tray.

dirtysparks, eeven73, I try and size up these things beforehand. I don't just go on suicide missions. And I've had a gun put to my head for less things, that I didn't even start.

intotheflats, that's fine. If it comes to that, it comes to that, but most of the time when I approach someone, I make sure it's put in clear prospective of what they are doing. I don't want to get into a fight, and would probably walk away if it came to that. But most of the time, I can talk my way out of trouble.....most of the time.

Being a non-smoker - I love it.

Being a car enthusiast - If I were a smoker and you did this to me, I would have knocked you the #$% out, taken the butt and shoved it up your pee hole with the lit end first.

Hate to say this. But, either way, I seriously doubt you have seen the end of this.
