Yep, I saw you throwing that cigarette butt out the window on the Macdonald bridge. It blew into my car and when I pulled over my baby’s blank – just milimeters away from my babies arm.
I got your license plate. Say hello to Officer Getinyourface. He will be paying you a visit. I hope he takes a telephone book to you. —MADD – Mothers

Wow, you were doing some Multi tasking on that trip, good on you though to follow through instead of just moaning about it.
I’m a smoker so I guess my comment would be invalid.
Wow op, if you checked on your baby while driving I think the officer should throw the phone book at you! And also I think that CPS should be called on you as well!
BULLSHIT! The likelihood that that actually happening is greater than winning a lottery twice a month!
You didn’t like the fact someone littered or smokes or the cut of their jib – whatever the nonsense – and, wanting to “fit in”, you posted a bitch.
Fuck off. Get a life. Go find a real baby.
I will comment after all….as I stated before, yes I am a smoker…I throw butts out the window, not specifically at anyone…but the wind has a mind of it’s own. Real question is…If you have a baby in your car with a blanket on…it would suggest weather is cold..What are you doing with the window down? Were you smoking too?
Why was baby-momma driving with the window down? Who ever got a smack-down with a telephone book? WTF is that reference?
If this were real …. how the hell did this projectile get not only IN the car BUT to the backseat and UNDER the blanket …….. physics and logic be damned.
Better yet: what were you even doing driving a car with a baby in it?!? Fail! It’s all your fault! Where is your husband? Do you even HAVE a husband? Fail! Is the fleece made of fire retardant material? Why are you so cheap? Fail! Bet you don’t even have snow tires on! Fail! Haha, LTWWB really is more fun once you embrace being a regular. Hope I did that right.
I know I’ve been hit with cig butts while on the bike. Not a pleasant experience looking to see if it bounced off or lodged itself somewhere at all!
gold stars for cranky
yay me!
OP couldn’t be smoking as well (or shouldn’t according to law anyways…)
was this from rolling down the window to chuck your change?
Cause I haven’t seen a day in the past week that would have been decent to keep it rolled down.
Don’t worry, OB, Karma can be wished for.
Smoking has been so demonized, a toss out sounds like a symbiotic middle finger to the world that makes way too many rules. What happened to you is a rarity, it was back in the 1950s and 60s when more than half the population smoked openly and freely.
Personally, I’d rather demonize alcohol abuse, one of society’s ugliest stain.
That is about as magical as the bullet that shot JFK conforming to the story we’re supposed to believe. Basic physics just doesn’t back you up.
Let me suggest this op. You saw someone throw a butt and you called the cops. And that’s the whole story. The rest is hyperbole. Translated? Dramatics.
This can happen, a lit cigarette found its way through my fathers open driver side window this summer and burned a hole in the backseat. I try not to have the windows down with the babies in the car for this reason, it could have landed on the child and cause serious injury since you can’t pull over on the bridge and get out to check on them. What makes any of you think this couldn’t happen? It’s unlikely sure but far from impossible.
You did the right thing OP. People should be careful with their flaming butts. It could create an unpleasant surprise if the wind is blowing the right way.
you guys are pathetic. OP is talking about her baby, and all you can do is call BS so you can smoke another coffin stick. You are all low class addicts that are too dumb to develop a crack habit so you kill yourselves slowly instead.
Ya know I usually enjoy reading the bitches and comments but these comments are just fucking wrong. Do you guys/gals seriously feel better about yourselves by mocking a woman for protecting her child from a cig burn? Fuck you. Take a big fucking look in the mirror at yourself and ask if this is what you hoped to be when you grew up. Normally I’m all for OP bashing and throwing smart comments back and forth but this is just fuck wrong. Seriously, we wonder why society is fucked? Because people feel entitled to make comments like the above and do so like it’s their right. Way to go you upstanding fucking citizens, just because you have the right to say it doesn’t mean you should.
Fail. That’s how we run things at LTWWB. Gotta be a hater to be a player.
how close does someone need to tail-gate for this to happen O.o and with a baby in the car, no less. Tsk Tsk OB.
I remember taking my daughter out on many beautiful days when she was car seat size. We dressed her accordingly. Then on the way home (much later in the day mind you) she got a wee bit cold. So, did we pull over and change her completely? No! We’d put a blanket on her. Sure the windows are open, because fresh air is great. Especially when you’ve got a shitty diaper in the car. You failed, koda.
Basic phsysics, scissors? Ummm, with the windows open everything collects in the back, even dirt. Check out your car when the windows are open and you’ll see how clean the dash is compared to the rear of your car. Then if it is a butt, it will roll into the smallest of places, because its circular.
To the OB, that fuckin’ sucks. When I’m cycling I’ve had that happen twice. Luckily, they didn’t hit bare skin.
Oh, and Cranky wins. I fuckin’ love that guy.
so Kyle is responsible for highway forest fires!
Senor.C. I only throw mine out at designated ashtrays along the way. lol
senor, can’t blame klyde, smoky the bear says
only YOU can prevent forest fires.
Oh look i dislike littering as much as the next person who dislikes littering and op is right to find the butt-flinging annoying. I’m just suggesting that, given the tendency of this bitch toward the dramatic, it’s not an entirely accurate representation of the events. Everybody enjoys a good conspiracy story, after all.
