...yep, driving home from my mums tonight and the bloke started flashing his lights and giving the tosser sign. Got to a roundabout and he flew past me sounding his horn and gesticulating :confused:
My crime :confused: Throwing a cig but out of the window :rolleyes: What is it with some people :confused: Had to LOL at him though for getting so wound up about it :D |
Hello
Mmmm. Whilst I don't agree with the persons reaction, throwing a cigerette butt out of a window is not the most pleasant of things to do. Steve. |
Why is it that smokers never see anything wrong with throwing butts out of cars?
Used to bug me especially as they always head for the bonnet scoop. Simon. |
....it isn't the end of the world, either. Not enough to get excited about, anyway.http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/...tever_anim.gif
|
Have you not seen the Peugeot 406 advert, the one with Top Gun's 'Take my breath away' track? Now do you see why he was so wound up?
|
Seems a bit excitable but all the same it IS a filthy habit and chances are you'll die of cancer as opposed to old age.
Merry Christmas. |
Maybe your dog end landed on his bonnet?
P.s Give it a couple of years and it will be against the law to SMOKE & DRIVE ;) |
Sould be now.

Don't agree with the other guy's actions, but all I can say regarding the cig butt is "You silly billy".
Been cycling past cars before and had cig butts in the face/body as people flick them out. Is your ashtray not good enough? Do you also chuck out sweetie wrappers? I assume you realise that cig butts are not as biodegradable as you may think. S I L L Y B I L L Y. [Edited by imlach - 12/18/2003 11:07:59 PM] |
pick up phone dial & talk

imlach, you should try getting one in a motorbike helmet then. Still not getting excited about it, though....
|
Hey imlach you muppet did I say the geezer behind me was on a fookin bike ? Nope.
I wouldn't throw owt from the window if there was someone on two wheels near me :rolleyes: Unless it was you imlach and I'd probably look for the nearest wheel brace :p The car behind was god knows how many car lengths behind me. |
The problem is always cured by tackling the root cause. ie, people should not be littering the road with cig butts. It is no different from chucking out any rubbish out of your car window, so why do people think it is ok to chuck cig butts out? [Edited by imlach - 12/18/2003 9:06:48 PM] |
imlach you sound like a right tree hugger :D ROTFLMAO
Size of a cig butt ? 2 cm ? |
Size does not matter.
You'd be happy for me to put a 1cm piece of dog $hit on your door handle then? |
I have had some insurance quotes and have been asked if i somke?
IMO i DO think they will try to ban it and YOU will pay more for your insurance if you do SMOKE ;) |
Terzo - you sound like a right selfish git with no consideration for anyone else in the world.
|
Er, no !
How's throwing a dog end out of the window the same as putting dog sh1t on my door handle :confused::rolleyes: |
OK, me deposting 1cm of dog $hit inside your car window then. You wouldn't like that would you :)[/b]
[Edited by imlach - 12/18/2003 9:10:54 PM] |
I just can't be doing with all this PC bull sh1t.
Oh and tree huggers :D |
I'd be v surprised if a cig butt ended up going through another car window :rolleyes:
|
I don't really think me objecting to you dropping your rubbish on the road makes me a tree-hugger.
Get a grip. I repeat the question - do you drop other litter on the road, and if not, what makes it ok to drop a fag butt? |
No I don't drop any litter on the road. Apart from cig butts. They are so insignificant. I'm sorry but they are.
|
So if they are so insignificant, why do you not put them in your car ashtray?
|
lol @ "i wouldnt throw it out of there was sumbody on 2 wheels behind me"
get a ****en grip! you would have just chucked it anyway! are you saying you checked all your mirrors and then said "ok theres nobody on 2 wheels so i will be able to chuck it" :rolleyes: |
No I don't drop any litter on the road.
..and you do. Cig butts. |
My car will stick of ash and cig buts. And I am more danger to other road users concentrating on stubbing it out I'd have thought :confused:
|
|
Stick Micky - I would have done before i read a thread on here about a bloke on a bike who nearly came off dodging a cig butt.
So to answer your question - yes i do check to see whos about. I think I;ve got a grip :p |
I reckon the guy did over-react somewhat, but they *do* wind some people up a lot. Throwing them out of a car window can look remarkably arrogant and "don't-give-a-toss", it has to be said.
Personally, i'd ban chewing gum in public places, but then i'm weird like that. |
