For fuck’s sake, why do some smokers not realize that a cigarette butt is trash? I am so sick of seeing them flicked out of car windows and the carpet of butts near smoking areas is disgusting.
Goddamn it ITS LITTERING!! Pick up after yourselves assholes!! —SOB

Smokers think they are above the law. I guess they don’t want to dirty their ashtrays.
Tossed from cars ahead of me on my motorcycle, cigarette butts are more than trash. They are deadly little firebombs that can lodge inside a helmet or leather jacket or hit you in the face. Rather than littering the offense now becomes assault. How rude and ignorant do you have to be to think this is acceptable behaviour?
Agreed, it is both dangerous and disgusting. They make ashtrays for that.
I am a smoker… and I totally agree with this bitch. Straighten up people! Geez!
This was not a problem pre 90’s.
Thank you Health Canada for introducing filtering and labelling requirements that resulted in the entire industry moving to a highly flammable filter material that was not used previously.
You can’t put cigarette butts into an ashtray in a vehicle anymore. You will cause a fire.
That said, no one should be driving those fucking things for thousands of trips less than 5 miles in a year. Do you have any idea what the air is like out here? Step out of your vehicle for a moment. Do some cardio, breathe deeply…. mmmmm automobile exhaust. Yum.
I dislike this too…
Sadly the Darkside is a lil lacking on public astrays. And the ones we have on the other side of the bridge are easily broken into by the sketchy people thus littering butts everywhere…
Another thing I’ve noticed is that newer cars on the market do not come with ashtrays
I put cigarette butts in car ashtrays before. Was pretty hard for a few ashes to start a fire surrounded by metal. oldhand must be driving a Flintstones car made partly out of dry wood still.
Lets hope that he is :p lol
Nice Goin Fat just wants us all to hate each other. SO get busy. What’s with all these dumb bitch related comments? So boring! Lets get to the personal insults!
Nice Goin Fat is going to die from self consumptive hate. Watch it happen. It will be so much fun! (I bet they’re stupid enough to jump on that – get your dictionaries out assholes).
Nice Goin Fat is puke that a bug has eaten and then thrown up again, the a dog ate it and shit it out and then a fly ate that shit and was swatted on a desk, when the guts squirted out they landed in a pustulent zit on gut of a cow and mingled with the infectious juices and blood there, then drips down and dires to a scab and flakes off into the dirt.
Nice Goin Fat is that spec of scab in the dirt.
S O B= stupid old bitch, need i say more.
If no one threw their butts on the ground, how would that drunk old guy at the lacewood terminal who reeks of liquor at 12 noon on a random tuesday get his smokes?
That guy’s *awesome* at picking out the best butts to smoke! Why buy smokes when you can collect the butts? MORE LIQUOR MONEY!
When stopped at a light and the driver of the car in front flicks a butt on the ground, I’m really tempted to get out, pick it up and flick it into the back seat of their car… “You dropped this”
i almost did that the other day mr. moose but the light changed, unless there was a dog/child in the car which of course makes it even worse
yup they’re dirty fucks…
I’ll keep flicking my butts and you’re gonna like it – and if you don’t, there’s nothing you can do about it. haha!
I really don’t know how people can consider butts liter, if there’s no ashtray around what the fuck are we supposed to do with it?
GF, how about field stripping it and stick it in your pocket. I have other places to suggest too if you want.
Stupid justifcation for littering.
Fuck you buddy suggest away
No thanks……I prefer women. But if you a manly man, Seb might be interested.
Ouuu that was clever! Hahaha
