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?

Ditto.

Makes me glad I live in the boon docks.

If some woman and her kids are walking down my road they are either really lost or someone dumped them off along with their pets.

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

[maninblack]

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.

thats some bull$#it

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

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.

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

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.

It is a favorite saying of mine that a lot of societies ills could be cured with a piece of water hose cut off about two and a half feet long and applied to someones body like a cowwhip.

I'd have farted violently in her mouth.
