Ok, so i am walking down the street earlier. Just minding my own buisness. Smoking a cigarette. A stranger i have never met stops and asks me for a cigarette. I tell him that i don't have any, he asks me about the one i have lit in my head. I said, "Well, you are not having one of mine." He then decided to call me a prick. It really bugs me. |

|
you should carry one of those explodey cigs turned upsite down especially for situations like this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really, i should have said " Do i look like a fucking cigarette machine?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, you should've said "can i borrow some of your self-loathing you worthless scumbag drain on society?.. just kidding man, here's a cigarette." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
True. I could have given him a cigarette. I just didn't bloody want to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's understandable |
||||||||

Are you a magnet to things like this? ;) |

i posted about this during the summer, too. went from work, to the shop and back (6 or 7 mins walking, max). in that time i was asked for a cigarette three fucking times by three different people. i hate it. if i have a new pack of 20 and they see me taking one out, i never hesitate to give them one however. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i'm telling you, explodey cigs or a cig laced with a little cat poopie. that's the way to go. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can I have a cigarette? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

|
|
i don't think you didn't do anything wrong except that after he called you a prick, you should have told him to fuck off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i usually just say no, and ignore whatever they mutter walking away |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you don't think he didn't do anything wrong |
||||||||
|

oh fuck i wish i could make sense it's this new keyboard i got. it's fucking me up. |

dude probably got picked on in grade school for smelling bad, and smelled bad because his parents were alcoholics that beat him and never paid their electric bill so they didn't have warm water to shower, and he slept on the floor with the dog in the one bedroom apartment. so he dropped out when he turned 16 and got a shitty job where his boss was mean to him, then he broke his arm in a fight when he was 28 and it healed poorly because he couldn't afford a hospital bill and his mother just passed away on his 31st birthday and he tried to bum a smoke from some guy on the street and he shafted him so he said something mean. go easy on the dude man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, blame the keyboard, whydoncha! nah, I'm jus plaaaaayin' man! jus plaaaaayin' wit'cho! I will now go get a haircut, wish me luck |

how stupid. you should always give someone a cig if you have them. that way when you need one you can ask for one. thats how it works. you are a bad smoker. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I normally do, today i didn't want to. That's my choice. I know you are joking most likely. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, it was his choice to call you a prick, so rest well knowing that you've both made your own unique contributions to the perpetuation of bad vibes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is a difference between smokers etiquette and a scrounger |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
These people have no fucking dignity, as an adult you have a personal resonsibilty to look after yourself. Asking people for fags and money, like an eight year old trying to cadge 50p off their dad for some sweets. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I think that's a quality idea. All smokers should carry a cigarette round them with a cigarette banger about half way down the cigarette (you can buy them in joke shops - just gently take half the tobacco out, insert the banger, then replace the baccy). Next time a cigarette-scrounger gets threatening or calls you a prick, give them the doctored cigarette. You can even light if for them. Then, a couple of minutes later, when they're well away from you - bang! |

smoking is bad for you. the guy was actually trying to do you a favor. |

Generally, any full cigarettes I find on the ground or packs I find on the ground I set aside to give to people that ask me for cigarettes. When people ask for cigarettes, if I don't have any set aside, I say no. If they give me a problem over it, I just ask them whether I am expected to budget for every single street person and panhandler downtown. Altho if its one of the street people that I like, I will usually give them a cigarette, and usually don't have to be asked. |

Why are you guys so fucking stingy? Cigs are at the most usually $5 a pack so they are what 20-25 cents each? I get the impression you are saying you would give a normal looking person a cig but a homeless person no? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in seattle they are pushing $7 a pack. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
$7-$8 a pack in vancouver. When you have 30 people asking you for cigarettes a day, it gets to be a bit too much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And homeless people usually just roll cigarette butts. Its usually the 'normal' people that go around asking for cigarettes. |

cut three or four heads off matches and shove them down the fag,then when the flames reach there. WOW a big finger burning sensation. or just get them with the cancer 30 years later |

we just voted in seattle to ban smoking in all bars, bowling alleys, restaurants, taverns, basically any public area, inside, and within 25 feet of any entrance or air intake. technically, you cannot smoke anywhere in many urban neighborhoods, except in the middle of the street. it passed with more than 60% of the vote. i voted for it. on the one hand, smokers aren't gonna be able to smoke many places very freely. maybe that is too restrictive. on the other hand, i don't smoke, so i don't fucking care. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
happy 8k! also, it kinda sucks that the gov't is telling private business owners how to run their businesses.. i mean, if you don't want to get smokey, don't go to a bar ya know? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Heh... when they did that in vancouver it closed a bunch of bars and resturaunts because the smokers weren't going out anymore. But then some started letting people smoke anyway, and others built smoking rooms with ventalation that employees weren't allowed to go into unless they choose, and now everythings cool. |

well, i'll tell ya, once my wife got pregnant, we couldn't go anywhere. our favorite pubs for eats. our favorite watering holes. she doesn't even drink that much, and of course when she got pregnant, she didn't drink at all, but just to hang out with our friends, couldn't do it. i agree that the ban is a very strict, i think private owners ought to get to do what they want with their businesses like opening a smoking only bar or something. but couldn't the movie theatres and private airlines and other private businesses make the same arguement? what it came down to is, i don't care. i don't smoke. and i love the fact that i will be able to go drink with my friends and not come home stinking of smoke and blowing black snot out of my nose. and apparantly, most of Seattle voters feel the same. oh and thanks for happy 8000! |

i tend to say 'yes' then walk on. |

The worst is being asked for one while youre in a hurry, and then having to light it for them too. I do feel obliged to accomidate most who ask politely as I know what its like to feind for nicotene and lack the coin. |
||||||||
|
|

|

why don't people lie and say its their last one they're smoking |

One time a young girl holding a cigarette asked if I "had a light." I gave her a lighter and she dropped her cigarette and walked over to the building close-by and tried to light it on fire. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
At least he didn't nick your lighter |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i get the impression from this, that this is a rare occurrance? here, at least, in every state in australia i've been in and was with smokers, you'd get asked this on a daily basis if you're smoking in public, usually several times a day. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
You should have just given him the ciggie you were smoking. Lit end first in the fucking eye. |

share the cancer. |

Oh man, deep. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But what if you *want* to go to a bar, but can't because you don't want to get smokey? Why should smokers inflict their smoke on other people? |
||||||||
|
|

what if you *want* warpmart to sell you an album cheaper than the listed price? |
