WTF is wrong with people?
 

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

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

wow - that's NUTS.

I think I might be in jail if that happened to me.

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

WTF??!! That's assault! File charges! She should teach her kids about respect for others!

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

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

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

Was this a neighbor ?:td. Were you on your property

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

thats some bull$#it

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

Plus the B!tch needs to make a formal apology to you in front of her kids AND replace the damned cigar!

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

I'd be in the cell next to ya Vin!

That's reall ballsy!

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

i'd have punched her dead in the face

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

Those kids would have heard some words I'm sorry, That is just un F**king believable jeez how would anyone think that was okay to do?

I pitched my fallen comrade, but here he is before the accident xD

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.

I'd have farted violently in her mouth.

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

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

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

Seriously, was she on your property? That would make it even worse.

Cheers,

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

I keep waiting for him to come out and say"just kidding guys". Outrageous.

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

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.

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

Lol @ piihb. Shoulda done it regardless out of spite.

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

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

I thought you were in the process of picking up the water hose when she came over?

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

should have sprayed her with the hose as you pretended to retrive your cigar.

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

i still cant believe this
I cant even imagine what I would do in the same situation

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

There are... uhh... idk what kind of trees those are, but yeah, they're by the mail boxes

Don't get me wrong guys, I was angry as a hornet, but what was I gonna do? I'd rather come tell the internet about my problems than spend a night with the friendly neighborhood sherrif's department :r

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

I would have hosed her off.

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

Maybe they are shrubs:r

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

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.

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

Assault, larceny, and damage to property ... and you set a bad example by smoking?

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

>_>



<_<

Small trees, shrubs, same thing :r :r :r

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

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.

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

:r:r

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

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.

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

... and they say smokers are rude (which I find to be complete false, btw). What a *****!

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

Wow, now that I actually have thought about it seriously, it's really scary that people these days think they can pull that sh!t. I thought I lived in the US:sh

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

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.

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

I KNOW I would be in jail. :r

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

Maybe I could share the cell witcha D?;)

Seriously though. Wow. Some people have issues. Even more issues than I.

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

Let me get this right. You let someone take a cigar out of your mouth?

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

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

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

HERF at gijoey's?

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

This was just funny.........

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

Be glad that wasn't me. Holy $%@T thing would of went down. (Not physically)

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

How great would that be????

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

Haha, fun as that would be, I won't be here for a while anyway xD we can all get cigars pulled out of our mouths whilst watering tree...shrub hybrids

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

Nope! Your luck's that good!!!:D

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

That is absolute insanity. I'm going to say she voted for Obama

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

Always heard the steer and women in Texas were a lil ornery!!-(P

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

Are you serious?!?!?! My AR-15 might have something to say about that......if not my Microtech OTF DEFINITELY would voice it's opinion. I would have gone to jail and lit up a cigarette RIGHT in her kids face....WHAT A C*NT!

Re: WTF is wrong with people?
 

I would have called the police on her to remove her from my property after I defended myself against assault. It would have been good to see her locked up for trespassing, assault, and destruction of property charges.
