>As I was driving home from work (oh about 20 minutes ago), I was behind >this Ford Tempo (kinda beat up looking). Heading east on Highway 78 (for >those that know the area), I noticed that the driver was a smoker and was >flicking ashes as he drove (I still don't understand this ... is his ash >tray full?!?). He took one last puff from the cancer stick and then >flicked it off onto the side of the freeway!!! Well, if being a narc on this issue makes you an old fogey, then GO, FOGEY! This is one of the most annyoing things in the world for me. I was moving in my 70 FB with everything I owned in my car. My bed mattress was strapped to the top (It was quite the sight too! hehe), and the jerk in front of me on the highway was flicking ashes and cigarette butts out his window for the entire time he was in front of me. Since most of us aren't masters of the laws of physics, I truly doubt he had ruled out the possibility of lodging that butt in my mattress. Most likely he was a thoughtless lump. I try not to be too self-righteous about people's bad habits (it's just too trendy these days)..but if we didn't have to look at a snowstom of nasty cigarette butts in every conceivable crevice of the earth, maybe we'd be a bit more tolerant.
