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

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

Bruce · 10-26-2010, 08:42 PM

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

hscmit · 10-26-2010, 08:45 PM

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

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

bresdogsr · 10-26-2010, 08:51 PM

I would have hosed her off.

Maybe they are shrubs

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.

Confederado · 10-26-2010, 08:55 PM

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

Small trees, shrubs, same thing

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.

Gargoyle · 10-26-2010, 09:03 PM

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

10-26-2010, 09:03 PM

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

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.

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

markem · 10-26-2010, 09:30 PM

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

10-26-2010, 09:41 PM

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.
