Feeling a little lighter

TheBetterRedhead - 28/03/2017 12:00

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

You equate being mugged for 2 dollars as the same as spilling your 2 buck coffee? Wow.

I'm just saying that at the end of the day, he lost a $2 lighter and it doesn't sound like anything too violent or terrible happened

Oh, so that makes being robbed in the street OK then, as long as it's a cheap item and no one gets hurt.

Robbed? Mugged? It's not THAT big of a deal. Honestly, I'd be more upset about spilling my coffee because being "robbed" for my lighter in this way would make me laugh.

This just means they are on their way to emphysema and lung cancer sooner than you. In a sense, they just robbed themselves...of life! How's that, RememberSchlitz?

I'm guessing they needed it to light their bowl or bong, which they could not do right out in the open

and you're an asshole. robbery is robbery. idc if someone stole my 25 cent gumball, it's mine. and no maybe it's not just a lighter to them. I have my dad's lighter and he died 2 years ago. yeah, it's a lighter to you, but to me it's one of the few things I can carry around to have of my dad's. obviously that's not OPs situation, nor would I let some random use that lighter, but to some people their "something" is something and doesn't matter how much it costs bc it just might irreplaceable.
