Why oh why do people just toss their cigarette butts on the ground? So rude and disgusting. I *HATE* it.

    I hate that too..especially when there is a trash receptacle around for cigarette butts.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    I usually just tear off the cherry and pocket them until I get to a trash can. Still disgusting, but at least its not littering.
    Why go home

    I cannot STAND that.
    You are littering!
    And when they toss them out their car windows???
    I want to stop my car, pick it up and run up and toss it in the window.
    Ick.
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    It's funny you said that. There was an incident on my way home today that prompted this thread. I was at a stoplight when the woman in the car next to me blatanly dropped her cigarette out the window. Since both our windows were down, I called out to her, "You dropped something!" She looked at me and responded, "Whatever."

    My new neighbor in my condo's smokes.........he leaves his cigarrette butts right on the top stair before we get to the entry way (porch). Everyday when I come home from work his cig butt is there...............and everyday I use a napkin to pick it up and put it on his doormatt. I'm a hater........I could choose to ignore it (like I do with a lot of things) but this thing just bugs the crap out of me!!

    I always honk at people when they toss the cigarette butts out the car window.

    I remember last fall when there were some fires burning in Malibu, and someone tossed out a butt....I reminded her of the fires!

    Its sad that people get defensive when you call them out....what excuse could they have to justify such an action?

    Anytime I start crap with another driver, my girlfriend reminds me that 1 out of 10 drivers in L.A. have guns, so I have toned-down my act a bit.

    Eh...that's only a 10% chance...I say go for it. It sure felt good to call this chick out on her cigarette littering. In my opinion it's like a big "FUCK YOU" to planet Earth.

    I know its only a 10% chance, but based on the number of times I honk at people, I am WELL overdue!

    People just seem to litter a lot period....It drives me crazy when I see someone walking down the street holding a water bottle or soda can and they will just drop it. Don't litter my street fuckers....

    Its a habit that carried over from years of working on people's homes and knowing you'd catch holy hell if the boss saw you toss a but on their property. Old habits, (including smoking) die hard. :(

    You think that's gross? Listen to this nasty story:
    Today, some people parked in front of the restaurant where I work (parking for restaurant patrons only), got out of the car and spit his whole wad of chewing tobacco right in front of our building. Then he took a swig of water, swished it around and spit it out, and repeated the process! It was so disgusting!!! Then he and the lady he was with booked it in the other direction. They were seriously running. I went outside and yelled, "Are you planning on coming in for lunch???" They obviously weren't... just liked the easy parking spot. Anyway, the dirtball yelled back, "Yeah in about an hour..." I said, "oh, we'll be closed in an hour and this parking is for restaurant guests only..." So he moved. I wouldn't have made a big deal out of it if he hadn't spit right in front of the place.
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    At least the wad of tobacco chew will be gone by the next rain. Cigarette butts will be for a lot longer.

    :( Sadly, I dumped my fair share of butts on this planet while I was a smoker. Uck, I don't know why I ever started.

    At the intersection near my house there are so many cigarette butts. I'd love to shove each one of them down someone's throat but before I could do that I guess I would need to eat a thousand myself. Damn that's a lot but it's probably on the conservative side. YUCK!
    d'oh
