I can't stand people on "power trips"...
I threw a lit cigarette out my truck window about 30 minutes ago. Happened to be near some dry overgrowth. Not real close though, maybe 6 feet away.

The "owner" of the property ran up to my opened window and tried to grab me...."YOU COULD START A FIRE....blah blah blah.

I told him to go fuck himself, and drove off. Guy actually left a bruise on me.

1. My dear LeftyFingerPop!
Well, THAT was careless of you!

Letting him see you like that!

Be more careful next time, OK?

Bruises are not fun!


:wtf:

19. You should know by now, as a smoker, it has to be secret

STealth. So when this happens, and it will, you won't get blamed by some power tripping madman:

BTW , this was started by a bunch of partiers. I'm sure they all smoked.

5. You should have hurt him with your words
and made his shoes fall off and dashed his head apart. Who the fuck does he think he is telling you not to throw lit cigarettes onto his property? Fucking fascist.

I missed the joke.

12. LMAO!
Thanks for telling me. I seriously appreciate it. I thought it was such a weird post. I have this problem with always taking things literally. It's some kind of brain problem!

13. Step on the gas
They're on foot.

You're in a truck.

I think I see a way out of this.

Sincerely,

B. Hicks

15. I got a $260 ticket thanks to a cop on a power trip.
We didn't do anything wrong either - we were just going bar hopping and were crossing the street.

16. Stop smoking in your truck.
Use a gas station instead - most safe place. :hi:

And what about "owners" of property? It belongs to us all, anyway.

20. Dude.
As I used to tell some of my defense clients - you only made one mistake ... you let someone see you do it.
