Standing in a bus shelter waiting for the bus, less than ideal weather conditions, person next to me lights up a smoke. Inconsiderate? yes. Resolution? Shoot them a dirty look and stand outside the shelter, where 70% of the time they apologize and we trade places.
What’s way worse that this? People who pocket their half smoked cigarettes when they see the bus comming, and then create a disgusting radius of rancid nasty stink half smoked grossness.
Next time I see someone knocking off the cherry to pocket it when the bus comes, I’m knocking it out of their hand and shouting “NO!” (not really I would never have the guts)
— Fuck that smells bad.

Ew. Butted out smokes really stink.
They do stink, but I understand, each smoke is worth like a toonie now isn’t it? That would make that half smoke, worth a buck…I wouldn’t chuck it away either.
Maybe smokers who do this could get themselves some kind of small air lock container so that everyone else wouldn’t have to smell it. Even smokers don’t like that nasty smell…
One guy got on the bus once with a half smoked butt in his mouth. It was gag worthy, I gotta say (esp since he sat in front of me).
I hate the 52 for a reason, people.
The ferry keeps getting better and better!
This sounds like a good market niche product…
Alas, I am too lazy.
Poor baby, now fuck off.
BF, they already have them.

Huh… interesting.
The Prime Time singles come in plastic tubes that can be used again and again. Perfect for such an occassion.
I have a small airtight tube that clips onto my caribiner key ring. I use it as an ashtray and/or buttholder for those half-finished smokes. It cost me a whole dollar…
I have to say, as a smoker it really pisses me off when other smokers don’t do the courteous thing. “Common courtesy” has gone the way of “common sense” neither of them is “common anymore”…
Because it makes y’all look bad, Gidget!
Fuck off, OP. Its not like someone took a shit on your feet.
OP, not everyone who “field strips” a partially (or fully) smoked cigarette is doing it to create a ‘disgusting mess’ to smoke later on.
I do it because I prefer not to toss my butts on the ground, and so I stick ’em back in the pack once they’re out.
Yes, there is an odour. Yes I have even put ’em in my work-clothes pocket, and yes, it’s YOUR fault….because as a smoke-nazi you are all collectively responsible for the lack of ash-trays in public these days.
bmf, as a smoke (and litter) nazi, I’m all for more ashtrays in public! Anything to keep those butts off the ground.
No matter how many ashtrays you provide some people will still throw their butts on the ground. Some people have no respect at all for anyone. For example there are garbage cans all over the place downtown and there is still trash everywhere down there…..
Fucking good for nothing brats!
I recommend the OP chew Stride Gum. A fresh piece will obliterate anything else trying to infringe on taste-buds and your sense of smell. Hey.. it’s cheaper and easier than trying to change the world and control other people, isn’t it?
In the good ol’ days cigarette butts made it into ashtrays because we weren’t permitted to put them out on your floor.
i was going to write a bitch about this very same thing today.
no smouldering butts on the bus!
yup, smokers stink. So does the lady wearing too much perfume, the guy who hasn’t bathed in a week, the farter, etc, etc. Buy a damned car if you can’t deal with public transit.
and another fucking douche bag raises their mealy mouth on non smoking, fuck you and your petty little me mindset. live in the real world, where there are worst things to bitch about, don’t like smell, buy fucking nose plugs asshole.
