Ok, so I grab my very first Opus X ever, and start to light it, my lighter runs out of butane. No biggie, I set the garden hose on the tree, run inside and grab my matches.

Now the important part, I start to light it as I exit the house and there is a lady walking by with her kids. I proceed to walk over to the hose, pick it up, and out of no where, the lady walks up, grabs the cigar out of my mouth, and throws it in the water! She proceeded to lecture me about smoking infront of her kids and how bad smoking is, and it goes on for 20 seconds or so before the shock wears off and I give her kind words of my own.

Has anyone else dealt with someone so self righteous that they have done something like that? Or is my luck that good?:tf

Haha, I don't even know who she was or I'd have a much longer story, I just let her walk off, she's gonna have to explain the meaning of enough words to her children anyway :tu

I'm with this guy. Either that or grab her and throw her face in that same water and make her fish the wet cigar out with her teeth.

I can't believe that. When I read it, I got that rage-induced tunnel vision. Glad it didn't happen to me.

She deserves to be beat with the hose. That's pretty ballsy of her. She obviously has a husband that lets her walk all over him and run the household as she clearly feels she can treat everyone like sh*t and that her sh*t doesn't stink. If she was cute than she deserves to have you PIIHB.:r

Oh hell no! That's a a damn tragedy! I would tell her what it cost and make her pay for a new one.

The best answer so far IMO.... Assuming this was a neighbor or the like, I'd probably explain that she just dumped $15 of my money on that cigar and leave it at that.

People are going to make irrational decisions that affect me.... I am going to do my best to try to not make irrational decisions that continue that momentum.

Well, I was kinda on kinda off my property, I was standing next to the mail boxes for the neighborhood, but I have no clue where she is from since there are apartments across the street and 3 other neighborhoods very close by.

I figure she will think twice about doing that again, she probably leaned some new words

Are you kidding? If I saw her again I'd follow her home, find out where she lives, then deliver a letter with an itemized bill for the cigar. Also with a nice note that if payment isn't received that you're sending it to a collection agency.

Sorry to hear this though dude, some people just have no respect or common sense.

Here's what I would've done in that situation. After her lecture, with a maniac tone tell her "Your lecture only makes my Pen*s HARDER!" Then proceed by inviting her into your house. She's probably gonna start walking away and scare the crap out of her for a while.

Oh my gosh. That is illegal! Destruction of personal property! Were you on your own land? Even if it was a public street/apartment complex, etc, as long as it's legal to smoke there she has absolutely no right to do that.

If that happened to me, I would go to her house and speak to her husband and demand a cash payment to compensate for the cigar.

May have told this before, or at least in part.

Had bought a new pipe - brand new - never smoked, a nice Don Carlos straight billiard. Anyway, picked up the mail, opened my box up, stuck my new pipe in my mouth to see how it felt and drew, and went to WalMart. When I got there, I went inside - unsmoked pipe in my mouth.

So there I am, walking around WallyWorld when this lady spies me, storms over three aisles, and proceeds to tell me how offensive it is that I am smoking a pipe in the storn and how bad it smells, and how inconsiderate I am.

I told here it wasn't lit.

She explained that the smell still bothered her, and continued her tirade.

As she ranted, I buttoned my black shirt collar, took out the white tab in my pocket. and then I took the pipe out of my mouth, interrupted her and said, "Lady, this pipe has NEVER been lit. If you are smelling it, then you have a prophet's nose, for you are smelling the future.

It is then that she noticed my presto magical change and simply stares at my clerical collar, mouth literally hanging open.

In the moment of silence I proceeded to explain to her the 8th Commandment, and how she has just broken it by lying about me - loudly and publically - with no evidence.

As she continued to stare at me, I put my pipe back in my mouth and continued shopping.

A little while later, a little old lady hustles over to me. Thinking I'm going to get it again, I was going to hustle away, but she was too quick. She walks up and asks, "May I smell your pipe, my husband smoked, and I used to love the smell."

I gave her the pipe with a shrug, "Sorry, never been smoked. I just got it today."

"Damn," she said, as she handed back the pipe, "I looks like a nice one though."

It is! And it smokes well.

I'd like to say I was surprised but then I saw you live in Texas. I can totally picture some self-righteous suburban house-wife/trophy wife, etc. thinking she could get away with that and not have a guy knock her block off. Where I grew up, 1,000 miles north from where I live now in Texas, some woman pulls that crap and she would have had the hose turned on her.

I've had my fair share of situations with people confronting me about my cigar smoking though, even IN a cigar lounge. My favorites are the men who tell me that as a woman I have no business smoking cigars. Or the women who elect to come over to me and think I'm the easy "sister" to appeal to and get "my men" in line and stop them from smoking. :bx

Now I admit we have a lot of kids in my neighborhood and i try not to go over and talk to my neighbors when I smoke a cigar while doing yard work out of respect. But you weren't even doing that!!
Hopefully you see her again so you can light up in front of her again!

I would have gone back into the house and found a small kitchen knife. I would have knocked her down, and slowly sawed off her head right in front of her young child. Then I would have forced the child to drink the blood out of her mother's severed head. Next, I would have the child sent to a shoddy orphanage where she would live the rest of her childhood remembering how rudely her mother acted. Finally, I would have filled the woman's severed head full of diesel fuel, and used it as a molotov cocktail to burn down her house, with her husband and dogs sleeping inside. Yeah. That would teach her.

from people who are so constitutionally protected that they begin to forget that I have rights, too.

But I will relate how a guy got slapped full on the face at work in Meridian Mississippi one day.
It turned to a slap because a punch would have gotten me fired, and a ***** slap seemed the way to go.

New guy walks out to the smoking area, heading for a shoot of some sort, and passes by the outcasts
and says, "hey, can I get one of those??" SO I pull out a Marlboro Light, and seeing it was my last one,
I say "Normally I would never give up my last smoke, but seeing as how you are new..." He breaks it in
half and stomps on the remains and says, "smoking is bad for you" and so I slap him right across the face, hard.
And I said "so is taking a man's last smoke during sweeps when I can't leave the station and I am working
16 hour days you FU^$ing F^@&!" I got called in to my bosses office, not because the guy complained,
but because one of the other smokers told him about it. I thought I was fired. He was too scared to relate
the story apparently. The boss suggested I not put my hands on people I worked with or I might be subject
to not just workplace discipline, but a lawsuit as well. Then he lauged his a$$ off.

I would have gone back into the house and found a small kitchen knife. I would have knocked her down, and slowly sawed off her head right in front of her young child. Then I would have forced the child to drink the blood out of her mother's severed head. Next, I would have the child sent to a shoddy orphanage where she would live the rest of her childhood remembering how rudely her mother acted. Finally, I would have filled the woman's severed head full of diesel fuel, and used it as a molotov cocktail to burn down her house, with her husband and dogs sleeping inside. Yeah. That would teach her.

As long as you leave someone alive to tell the tale and warn the others, I'm good with that.

She came up from behind-ish, so by the time I saw the b*ch, it was too late, I don't really like going to jail, so I just verbally assaulted her, and I found out she has been charged with tresspassing, and destruction of property, since the pulling the cigar out of my mouth would be hard to prove :r anyway, $15<permanent record + court fees + any other fees

I'm glad she got charged.

Someone was smoking a cigar AVO07 I think in his own garage and someone walking by came in the open door pulled it out of his mouth and chucked it then proceeded to yell at him. He got up said he was going in to grab another cigar and his Glock, and it would be in their best interest to vacate his property.

I think it was Warped, but I don't recall. Regardless, I lke that she got charged for general asshattery

I was truly saddened to read this and am glad that she ended up being charged - as was said - Karma on Joey's side.

Regarding all the "I wouldav' done this or that", I think Joey responded exactly right. Remember, in this politically correct enviroment, smokers have less than no rights and as was stated, it is NEVER right to hit a woman. An appropriate verbal response was the best that any man could have immediately done. The whole idea of involving the police, filing complaints, taking her to court, while appealing on the face of it, really is not worth a $15 stick or the time and hassle involved.

Congrats to you Joey for being cool headed under very trying circumstances.

I was outside, the morning weather is good today, and I felt like having a cigar in the morning. About 15 minutes in, she starts walking by, sees me, I smile and wave, as my police officer neighbor who had the situation told to him also spots her

Tell her good luck hiding your child from viewing anything "unacceptable to her"

You'd need a blind fold and ear plugs for that venture...

That may vary from state to state. In Massachusetts, you don't have to touch someone to complete the offence of assault; one just needs to make the victim believe they will, IIRC.

PC 242: "A battery is any willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon the person of another."

Basically to commit an assault no physical contact is necessary, should contact be made then she would be charged for battery. :tu

She did "Touch Him". The cigar was in his mouth, therefore it was an extension of him. No different than a guy assaulting a woman by grabbing a woman's loose fitting dress. Well, slight difference, but I think you get the point.

Also, in most instances, actual physical contact with the person him/herself is not required. If there is contact with an object that is intimately connected with the person that such contact would be deemed contact with the person, then a battery is committed. Think of the scenario that you are holding a plate at a buffet, I walk up and hit the plate out of your hand, this could be considered a battery, just as the cigar instance here.

Now I go back to lurking.

She also should be glad it was you and not my neighbor... vet of WWII, korea, and served 2 years eairly part of nam before he said he was done. hes old, his wifes gone, rest her...... and i think he'd shot her.....alot...... because i dont think he cares about jail.

For what it's worth, I personally believe that, in the spirit of American egalitarianism, when a woman acts in a brutish or even violent way as this woman clearly has, she has forfeited any social protections which are traditionally afforded to ladies. If society allows a certain percentage of itself to act with impunity, then no one can claim any sort of equality because the rest of society will have been denied the equal protection guaranteed by the XIVth Amendment, perhaps not in a legal way, but certainly in a social way. One cannot claim equality and deference in the same breath. :2

One cannot claim equality and deference in the same breath. :2

You're applying a logical argument to an illogical being. :2

Maybe Cali law is different from the rest of the state but you all should read the definition of assualt and battery. :r

:tpd:Assault is a lot more than most here are expecting. You can make physical contact with another person and its not assault, someone has to have some pretty serious injury for it to be assault. :rolleyes:

I missed the part of this story where this woman made any sort of claim for either equality or deference.

That was simply in reference to statements made that there is no circumstance in which one may strike a woman. People have posted that it is never permissible to hit a woman, but that deference is never, ever given to men; a privilege based only on gender. In short, it was a general comment on societal custom.

In Illinois, assault means putting someone in reasonable fear of receiving a battery. No contacts needs to be made, and certainly no injury needs to occur. The definitions and semantics vary widely from state to state.

I agree that there may be circumstances where is it both legal and proper to strike a woman. This scenario is certainly NOT one of them.

Yup, the word "assault" means very different things from state to state. In Illinois, your example would be "battery".

In Illinois, there also is no "assault and battery", as when you have battered someone, you have moved past assault, and if you have simply assaulted someone, you could not have committed a battery (all by IL definitions).

In Illionois that could range from battery (high end) to disorderly conduct (low end), but could not be assault by definition. Might be different in the OPs jurisdiction, though.

I suppose that would depend upon whether this woman is guilty of assualt and/or battery; one does have the right to defend themself, and, if she was continuing to yell and scream at him after initial contact, then an argument could be made...

At any rate, it's now an issue for the law to deal with.

Thanks Tom this was the point of my whole post.
Well that and pulling a cigar from someones mouth likely resulted in no actual physical contact to the OP. While you may have a trespass to and destruction of private property's. No court in this state or most will find a battery has occurred. If I responded to the call I would be hooking the tough guys who punched a women or worse over a 10 dollar cigar. Even if there was an unwanted touching you would have a impossible time explaining how punch a woman in the face or using an force that inflicted injury was required.

Again come on boys, its a 10 dollar cigar and a miserable women with her kids. :r

The common law definition, in pretty much every state is that assault is an action that causes apprehension of imminent physical contact of a harmful or offensive nature. Battery is contact of a harmful or offensive nature.

These aren't statutory (criminal) definitions, which will vary from state to state, but these are the accepted legal definitions. Also, there can be both assault and battery, or just one.

I'm a little removed from 1st year criminal law at this point, but I don't think that's correct. As far as I recall, if there is a battery, the assault merges into it. Sort of like an attempted murder charge merges into the murder if you commit one. One does not get charged for both attempted murder and murder of the same person.

That is insane. I do not know what I would do in that situation. I would be way too angry. The closest this has ever happened to me was a lady yelling at me for pipe smoking in front of starbucks (apparently your not allowed to smoke on their outside tables, which is the opposite in most places). She then went inside to complain to the store and they made me leave. A non smoking couple attempted to aid me, it didn't work but I liked their good intentions. But yeah, these situations are getting common.

Which is why someone would need to show the cigar removal was a battery. This would fall on its face. Leaving you a property claim.

Here's what I would've done in that situation. After her lecture, with a maniac tone tell her "Your lecture only makes my Pen*s HARDER!" Then proceed by inviting her into your house. She's probably gonna start walking away and scare the crap out of her for a while.

The look on her face would have been priceless. Good one! :tu

What if she's not the type to just walk away though? You could get slapped in the face or worst yet, get a good kick in the balls. Some women are very protective of their children, probably why she did what she did.

She came up from behind-ish, so by the time I saw the b*ch, it was too late, I don't really like going to jail, so I just verbally assaulted her, and I found out she has been charged with tresspassing, and destruction of property, since the pulling the cigar out of my mouth would be hard to prove :r anyway, $15<permanent record + court fees + any other fees

It all equaled out, plus I just got birthday bombed by my own fiance :r my luck!
