Today, a man in a hurry asked me for a light. Not being able to find my lighter amongst the muddle inside my handbag, I handed him my lit cigarette so he could light his. He took it from me, started smoking it and walked off. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, some guy asked me if he could borrow my lighter. I said "of course," reached into my handbag, and gave him the lighter. He stared at me for a few seconds until I realised I'd given him a tampax. FML
Today, I begged a coworker to let me borrow her lighter for my smoke break, since I'd lost mine. She was reluctant because of my track record of losing the darn things. After my break I stopped to use the restroom really quick, and promptly dropped the lighter into the toilet. FML
Today, I was at a bar and met this great guy. He was going outside for a smoke and I wanted to go too. Since I don't smoke, I decided to borrow one of my friends cigarettes as an excuse to go outside with him. As I was lighting the cigarette, he pointed out that I was lighting the wrong end. FML
Today, I was walking past a homeless guy while smoking; he asked if he could have a cigarette. So I gave him one and said without thinking, "Sorry, it’s a menthol, but beggars can't be choosers." FML
Today, I gave a man a cigarette. He spent the rest of the day so far following me around, telling me all about his medical history, and chasing after me when I got too far away. I couldn't get rid of him for hours. FML
Today, on my way home from grocery shopping, two young adults around my age came up and asked me for a lighter. Thinking they just needed it to light a cigarette, I handed them my only lighter. They immediately ran away. I got robbed for a 1.99$ lighter. FML
Today, I got punched in the face after a stranger asked for a light, didn't realize it was a butane lighter and burnt the tip of his nose lighting his cigarette. Now my nose looks worse than his. FML
Today, a man pulled a knife on me just so he could mug me of the cigarette I was smoking. FML
Today, a homeless guy asked me for a cigarette. Knowing that I only had a couple left in my pack, I gave it to him. He opened it, took one out and thanked me profusely. A bit surprised, I went on my way. Oh yeah, that's right, the pack contained the money I'd withdrawn from an ATM. FML
Today, I asked a guy if he could buy me a pack of cigarettes, since I'm still under 18. He took my money, went into the supermarket, and must have slipped out a side-entrance, because he never came back. FML

So, maybe you should stop smoking. Would you want it back anyway?

maybe you should stop being a judgmental ass. i doubt she would want it back after he put it in his mouth he still stole from her.

I hate when people ask me for a light or smoke. When I tell them I don't smoke they get all pissed off

1) YDI for being a smoker. 2) It's a sign you should stop.

Take all the time you need to find your lighter...or put it somewhere easy to access and or also take a few things out of your purse...

I'm sorry but if you're paying a corperation capacious amounts of money to slowly kill you, and you are fully aware of this fact, then you seriously need to own up and get with the effin program instead of blaming it solely on addiction alone. People in this age should honestly know better. It's not 1950 anymore. It's 2013. Get. With. The. Program.

If I were him I would have taken it as an offered cigarette, like that OP assumed I was lighting a cigarette so in a hurry he gave me his cigarette instead of wasting time with a lighter. Or is that just me ?

OP had intended for the person to just the cig as a means to light their own. No one offers anyone their own cig to random people.

He just took a bullet for you, stopped you from harming yourself.
