Today, while sitting at a red light with my window down, the asshat next to me flicked his still-lit cigarette away. It landed in my car and wedged between me and my seat. It burned a hole in my shirt and my seat, and burned my back and hair. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, I quit smoking cigarettes. While driving to work, the car in front of me flicked his out the window, flying straight into mine. It set the bottom of my seat on fire. FML
Today, as I was walking home late at night, some asshole threw a lit cigarette butt out of their balcony. It fell between my glasses and my eye and left a burn mark on my cheek. FML
Today, I finally found a reason to quit smoking. I threw my cigarette butt out the window and it blew back in, went down the back of my pants, and burnt my butt in 3 different places. FML
Today, I was standing on the patio when one of my upstairs neighbors threw a cigarette butt over the balcony. It landed on my head and burned some of my hair. FML
This is lit
Today, I lit a cigarette in the opposite direction of the wind. My hair blew into it, and caught on fire. FML
Chips
Today, I was smoking in my car and flicked the butt… into the face of a cop on a motorcycle going the other way. FML
Today, I accidentally dropped my cigarette down my shirt. There are now two unsightly, painful burns right in the center of my chest. FML
Bad day
Today, I discovered a nail in the tire of my car and a nice sized crack on the screen of my phone. I didn't think the day could get worse, until on my way to fix my tire, the cherry of my cigarette fell off and burned a huge hole in my driver's seat. This was my day off. FML
Today, I chuckled at a "No Smoking" sign as I lit my cigarette. I bent my head down to light it and somehow managed to light my hair on fire. FML
Today, a guy in a fancy car tailed me for twenty minutes, just so he could take a picture of my license plate and tell me there's a $300 fine for flicking cigarette ashes out your window. FML

"Today, some asshat burned me with a cigarette. So I followed him home and burned his house down." Would sound perfectly reasonable to me, just in case you need some advice.

I don't understand how people can be so inconsiderate.

Don't mean to be stereotypical, but most smokers that I've come across seem to be very inconsiderate. ******* throw their cigarette butts on the ground, instead of putting them in one of those ash dispensers.

Not all smokers are that inconsiderate. I think most are just pissed off from being told they have to smoke in designated areas.
Fluffydemise 18
Ash Dispenser? Ism't that just a ridiculously elongated way to say 'cigarette'? Maybe you meant ashtray? And not all smokers are butt flicking asshats like the guy OP encountered. The majority will put it in a bin or ashtray if provided. Agreed though that many throw them on the floor under the pretense that it is biodegradable. It isn't.

For ***** sake, hence the word 'MOST' in my previous comment.

I've worked at Walmart as a cashier for several months now, and you never get used to the million negative, idiotic things that people do. For lack of better words.

29, most exactly. That's not true. You just don't notice the millions of smokers who don't litter. And why would you?
monnanon 14
actually as someone who has to clean up all thr butts every morning outside their work i can safely say that MOST smokers do litter. either that or therr is one person eho can go through 5 packs everyday. there are smokers who are considerate in every way but in my experiencr i haven't met many.

45, some of those "ash trays" don't really hold the butts. The shape is too short, usually the ones on top of trash cans. Though, the one where I used to work was just deep enough except when it was windy. I usually stub them out and throw them away for that reason. Though, when I'm driving, as there is not allowed to be physical evidence in the car, I throw them low so they don't fly.
monnanon 14
the ash bin we have is large and deep and is no way they can blow as it is fully enclosed apart from the slata for dumping the butts plus the place i am finding the butts is far enough away rule out accidental littering

@#30 --- Wait until you've been there 14 years. Just when you think you've seen everything walk through the doors, a new atrocity comes through.
Fluffydemise 18
You all have missed the point. To the guy that said he has never met a considerate smoker. We probably just don't stand out. To the guy that picks up butts each day. You can't even fathom how many more butts you'd have if everyone was like that. This is typical anti smoker bullshit, your opinions are heavily bias. Next time I throw away a cig in the appropriate manner I'll be sure to bring my trumpet so I can create a fanfare.
monnanon 14
so what you are saying is because we expect smokers to clean up after themselves like everyone else we are anti smoking? and for the record the amount of butts i find everyday can not be one or even a small number of people. i dislike finding any rubbish lying around but the ciggarette butts are by far thr biggest problem.

If all smokers are inconsiderate assholes who litter everywhere then perhaps all non smokers are whiny self-centered bitches. Now, I know this is not true, however the assumptions are very similar.

#75, Did you really miss my point or are you being obtuse? No, expecting smokers to clean up after themselves is not anti smoking. Over generalizations based on the habits of some smokers and the slandering of an entire group of people most certainly is. I'm sorry you have to clean cigarette butts up on a regular basis, i'm sorry as a grown man you have to do any cleaning like that. I'd be pissed too. But it's still not OK to take your little slice of american life and transpose those experiences onto some kind of world model for what smokers are like. It's so simple. My experience as a smoker is one of consideration for others. We gave up a lot to make you all happy. And yet on the other foot all I seem to hear is negative bullshit from the anti camp. I await the day we have to smoke in 'isolation' chambers located at least 5 miles radius from any form of civilization.

#78, I think I love you. *makes suggestive eyes*
monnanon 14
so i mentioned that in my little SCOTTISH slice of life i had to clean ip after many inconsiderate smokers and had experiencrd bad behavior from a lot of them and that is a generelisation? no that is my experience. all of my in laws smoke and apart from one incident of smoking around my kid after i had asked them not to i would say they are considerate smokers. what i will not put up with iw other grown ups expecting me to clean up after then and do their work while they are taking extra breaks. no other addicts get dedicated breaks.

Sounds kinda over the top. Would it be a reasonable retaliation if you were the one on the receiving end?

Easy. Why not? Because it is grammatically incorrect.

That stinks OP. I feel for you, hope you're okay, that was incredibly rude of them. It could've ended up so much worse though, luckily you're still alive and you handled it well :)

Yes there is no other way to describe an arsehole other than calling him a derogatory term related to female genitalia. Yes there is no other way to insult this man without also insulting the entire female population. Get a dictionary misogynist
