Smoking and ciggy butts

**GSF** · 18th December 2012, 10:53

I was heading home from Ardmore one day, shooting north up the motorway. I was coming up behind a old Camry station wagon which suddenly swerved into my lane, had to lay on the picks and drop back.
The guy straightened up and moved back into his lane, then the driver's door flapped open and a glowing ciggy butt flew out, I figure that he dropped it onto his arm or lap and got burnt, thus the sudden swerving around.

Scared the shit out of me. IMO smoking or eating while driving are just as bad as using a phone.

I hate that shit, I can generally smell it if someone is smoking in a car (even when we did smoked, we never smoked in the car) that I am behind. When that happens I look to pass asap to avoid the 'Butt Flick'.
Or.....if its on the M/Way, I move to another lane.

Well that all depends on whose butt really

I only smoke em down to the lettering, then give them to the kids to finish off so I dont have to despose of the butt.

Filthy little bastards better not be throwing them out the window.

Nah don't worry, they're probably only collecting them and rerolling the dregs with weed man.

I don't mind so much if people smoke (free choice and all that), as long as their smoke doesn't go up my nose; but I'm sick to flipping death of seeing their rubbish lying around.

I'd want to ban Coke too, if I saw as many empty Coke cans lying around. I'd even ban sex, if I couldn't walk through town without stepping on a condom, as it is now with cigarette butts.

Why do some people want to make the whole World their ashtray?

Bastards.

I check if there's a bike behind me, and if there is, I hang my smoke out the window for while until it gets really hot and starts to burn my fingers. If the soft cock still hasn't passed me, only then do I flick it at him.

I sling 'em where and whenever I feel... however as they're rollies they're usually out before they exit the vehicle. And as the car is Mrs Mashies, the windows are allllllll fully open whilst smokin.

About 30 years ago a friend of mine wrote his Mk1 Escort off in the Hundalees after dropping a smoke butt down the leg of his shorts

Many, many moons ago in a land far far away a chap of my acquaintance drilled a big hole in the front of his hemlet, big enough to smoke a ceegar, ceegarettes burn out too quick on the motorway. As he reached the final few puffs on his stoogie the glowing red tip, almost a small coal, detached itself of said ceegar & lodged betwixt the lining of his helmet, which smouldered, & his right ear. The result was plaster casts, a wrecked bike & plastic surgery to his ear.
Thems was the days, every ride an event.
That was one of the incidents on the ton up ride to Silverstone. 100 miles in an our. None of the bikes had screens so all the lads had procured neck braces to ease the pain.
Nuckin futs & huckin filarious.

Thinkin back I used to pop the chin strap up and ride down the road with a fag hangin out of my mouth... the first time I got burning ash in my eye was the last time I did such a silly thing.

Of course, smoking is nasty and should be banned from the Earth...

its an option...smokers package
