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

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
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 Oh yeah, that's right, the pack contained the money I'd withdrawn from an ATM.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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's just a cigarette. Unless it was your last one. Then chase the bastard down.

Why is this even an FML? A guy took your cigarette, yeah that's pretty wierd but I don't see it FML material.

Good. Now you can enjoy some fresh AIR smoker

Do you know how completely silly that sounds? Everyone, smoker or not, enjoys fresh air each time they do this thing called breathing. Smokers just get it filtered with some nicotine, and chemicals.

Since there is no smoking indoors most places now, smokers get more fresh air than the non smokers that hide inside all day in recirculated office air.

that's nasty, for all he knows you had herpes or some kind of disease.

Eating junk food does not kill you. It leads to problems later on that can kill you. Whereas smoking directly puts dangerous chemicals into your body. You can't compare smoking to eating food, its minimizing the dangers of smoking. Also drinking IS bad, but they're two completely different subjects.

That's not that bad, it was only 1 cigarette. It would've been worse if he stole your handbag.

So you were willing to hand a stranger something that goes in your mouth, and wanted to put it back in your mouth after? You don't know where his hands have been. You got off lucky.
