Trashy smokers - a rant - Page 2

**BudMan** · 12-30-2010, 11:21 AM

I smoke, but I have no idea why some toss butts out the window.
But I also drink beer, soda, and occasionally eat fast food.
I don't have any idea why people throw that trash out the window either.
Some people just don't care and are going to litter.
About the only thing people use that you can't find on the side of the road is money.

I ain't a religous man, but as I watched that manure fly past me i knew the good lord was on my side.

Now that gives new meaning to the phrase sh*t-face.

A lot of people are just plan slobs.

It's litter no matter how small it is and a lit butt hitting a rider in the face or getting lodged in his clothing would be enough of a painfull distraction to cause a crash. That is real.

That is the reason I try to stay calm on the bike. Those cagers are a lot bigger and deadlier than we are. Piss them off and all they have to do is run us off the road and keep going.

Road dumping is a pet peeve of mine. I have a reputation to call whatever phone numer is on a vehicle when I see road dumping. A couple months ago a guy in a service truck calmly peeled an orange at a stop light dropping all the peels in the road. A call to his boss followed soon afterward.

Why the animous? Years ago when we were first married we lived beside a liquer store (I know, I know. Let's just say it was conveinent) and we had an access driveway beside the store. The drive was marked "no parking" but that didn't make much difference. While people would park and block my driveway they would take it upon themselves to dump all of there ashtrays in my driveway and yard. I've has a low opinion of these slobs ever since.

As a volunteer firefighter, every time I see a hot but come flying out a window I want to go pick it up and throw it back in their car when they stop. Luckily the adult in me kicks in and decides that probably isn't a real good idea.

kowboy · 12-30-2010, 11:57 PM

as a responsible person everytime i see a person throw a beer can out of there car or truck i want to call 911 and report a probable drunk driver so what is your point.

A few years ago I was pulling into the welcome center in SC on 95 northbound and caught one between my jacket collar and neck. I found out that the family in the minivan that had been in front of me were non smokers after confronting them. I was just glad that it had been on the exit ramp at about 20mph and not going down the freeway at speed.

That made for an interesting ride the remainder of the way back.

It could've been worse.

Too many people are pigs. I was at a drag strip several years ago and noticed a car ahead with four men inside drinking beer. As I approached one of them tossed an empty can out of the window. It pissed me off so I calmly walked over and picked up the can and tossed it back inside and said "You seem to have dropped something." They all looked at me like they could not believe what just happended. I waited for the car to empty and a rumble to start but for some reason they all stayed put. I walked away feeling much better. Pigs.

**Top Cat** · 12-31-2010, 12:32 PM

Geez Bud, you don't seem like the confrontational type.
First I hear about the guy with his ass crack showing and now this.

Are you going to the National? I would like to shake your hand :)

petenomad · 12-31-2010, 12:52 PM

The answer I got from a smoker was that they don't use the ashtray because that makes the car smell bad.
