Friends who steal your lighters

[Mr. Grimm]

How many of you have accidentally walked off with your friends lighters on accident or your friends have walked off with yours. I know alot of my friends have gotten pretty tore up and walked off with my lighters in there pockets especially if its a torch or a zippo and those arent cheap especially if their the only ones you have. How many of you get pissed off or irritated cause you have to constantly tear your place apart when you need to find a lighter to spark up a bowl or whatever and how many of you have tracked down your friends just to find your zippo or torch?

[JaggedEdge]

Never bought a zippo because I am alway's losing lighters. Honestly, at this point we have about 20 lighters on hand from people leaving them, accedently taking some, or just finding them around the house. My point is I only buy bics so when they go missing, I don't really care. I look at it as "take a penny leave a penny" thing and the checkout.

[Cassiopiea]

Buy loads of cheap lighters at once then stash them in a secret pace only yu know, that way youlll always have one.

[Abattoir Dream]

hahaha pisses me off alot, cheeky bastrds

[growitandsmokeit]

I'd be pissed off if someone walked of with a zippo but with cheap lighters I don't really care.

[MegaOctane12]

Its like kids who buy £50 pens to use at school, don't expect not to get it nicked

[jamstigator]

Man, I used to be BAD about that. I never did it on purpose, but one night at a Halloween party I got drunk, ended up passing out, and woke up with more than ten lighters in my pockets. It's just a habit, light bowl, put lighter in pocket, take hit, pass bowl. I prefer it when everyone has their own lighter, and people just pass the bowl, so I don't inadvertently end up with everyone's lighters. It's like I am with car doors, I get out and lock the door and pocket the keys. It's so instinctive, such a long-term habit, that I do it completely unconsciously, without even thinking about it. It's not like I have a side business selling peoples' lighters on eBay or anything. ;)

Hmmmm, an idea forms....

[Babr]

Well, I have a green lighter here, and I'm not sure where it came from, but it's mine now :D

[yoda]

the lighter i have now i accidently took from my friend

it happens. like someone said earlier, its habit for me to light what im lighting, then stick my lighter back in my pocket. i generally have one, so when i dont thats why i accidently steal em. same with my friends.

[AlwaysBlazed]

Yeah we all swap bics alot or people just put it in their pockets and forget. I've had my lighter snagged plenty of times, but I've done the same w/o noticing.

[LiveHigh]

I don't know, i'd light a joint with a zippo, but I can't smoke a bowl with one, theres just this taste. Ya know? I think it's kinda interesting when i think about it, because it's very possible that a lighter i got could have moved from me down a line of people, possibly to different states. Yea, i don't get that tore up about it but again only because I use BIC's or whatever cheap lighter i can find.

[justinsane]

ive spent more money on lighters than i have on food, weed, and clothes my entire life.

[orangeman]

That never happened to me before :p. You only need to spark a blunt once so once thats done they just hand the lighter back to me.

[herostyle]

I'm pretty sure I've only done that once but I am always on my friends(or used to be) because he often forgets. But I stopped smoking with him awhile ago anyways. He got me caught.

[RIH]

It happens all the time. I end up losing lighters all the time, and I end up with lighters that aren't mine.

[Frivolous248]

I've never had that problem really, then again I don't smoke with others a lot, or at all right now. I do have one of my friends lighters from AWHILE ago, we were hangin' out and it was in my pocket, and I forgot to give it back to him at the end of the night, and I told him I'd give it back to him next time I saw him. I haven't seen him since though. Well, one time at the mall but that was different. Hes the kinda kid who you hang out with for like a month, but if you don't call then he won't try and hang out with you.

Oh well, its just a lighter. It ran out of fluid awhile ago. Thats my story...

[mini pothead]

To quote my mum " Lighters belong to us all "

[ChronoSponge]

Well usually there is always someone in your group that has a stigma against certain lighter color....so I always just buy that color and it usually never disappears on me, heh.

[s2headhunter]

yeah .....i lose lighters all the time but the thing that pisses me off the most is when my lighter runs out of fluid in the middle of a session..

[notech]

I'm sure most of us are "Guilty as Charged". . . .

I know a lot of people do it unconsciously. . . .

It just seems to happen accidentally on purpose. . . . :smokin:

Peace. . . . :thumbsup:

[couch-potato]

Meh, personally I just made a habit of paying attention to whoever has the lighter and the bowl. You can still tell stories and jokes and shit, just when it's not your turn just look around. Or it's as simple as saying, "Who's got my lighter?"

[DylanN89]

honestly i dont think its wrong at all.... Here we play a game...if u get stoned enough and leave it in there car/ or plain out just leave something its theres no questions asked.... And its mainly lighters i find in my car but damn its kinda fun... lighters are only like 1$ anyway oh well.... :d :thumbsup:

[d00d989]

That never happened to me before :p. You only need to spark a blunt once so once thats done they just hand the lighter back to me.

just wait.....

[harlequinlibertine]

OH MY GOD! This happens all the time!!! I always leave my lighters at my friend's house. It's so incredibly annoying because I never realize it until the next day, and by then they've lost it already.

[PotHeed420]

get a light leash http://www.lighterleash.com/images/leash-extend.jpg

[harlequinlibertine]

hahaha! a light leash! im totally not anal enough to do that. my dad would buy one of those.

[josh180]

Ive had a leash and it was cool at first and after pulling it out all the time the string starts to get real thin and eventually breaks

[PotHeed420]

i got one right now

[Weednuts]

Fuck all this good natured shit about this topic!! I'm one of the poor bastards that always has to hunt down my lighters. The point is not the money to buy them....I buy the cheapos too. It's just so goddamn annoying when you go for your lighter....and it's not there because some lazy bastard that didn't think to bring one has it in their pocket. Especially if you're with someone that does it all the time. They should be flogged.

Or worse yet are those people that feel the need to have a multi-topic conversation while you wait for the bowl to be passed...Man, that pisses me off!

[Abattoir Dream]

Why is everyone like ooh, i dont mean to steal them! it just happens, my friend ALWAYS taxes about three lighters a night off me, on purpose, i dont mind tho, he brings them back the next day fully gased up :) lol i always tax lighters if the owner isnt somewhat attached to it, i remember my friend got his lighter taxed by some kids on a bridge, they threw it off because it didnt work, and it was his mums who had died about 4 days previous, (we were goin to blaze up to make him feel a little better) and he looked heartbroken, literally looked as tho he was gonna cry, i felt so bad, and he musta felt a thousand times worse.. we got away and went under the bridge to look for it, we never found it, he spent most of that night trying not to cry, and even when we blazed up, sadness was in the air... lol just remember something so small can be very precious.

[Kronz]

i think it happens to all of us... im the lighter theif!.. I dont know how but i come home sometimes with like 2 or 3 lighters not even mine. its crazy. I must get too high and after taking rips out of a bong i put the lighter in my pocket not thinking..oh well... atleast i never need to buy a lighter...ha and I swear once im high and trying to take another rip im always talking or some shit and my friends are always like "hit that! fuck" haha..

[TheSmokingMonkey]

I just have like three thousand lighters sitting around my house so I am never far from one.

[TheSmokingMonkey]

that being said... I am not sure what happened to my zippo, I think I lost it of my own stupidity. I am sort of upset about it but well... what is the point anyway, it's just shit, you can't take it with you. as long as I can light my cigarette/candle/pipe/etc with something, it shouldn't matter...so three thousand cheap Bic lighters are scattered around the house, it doesn't matter if some of them walk away.

[couch-potato]

stoner moment:

smoked a bowl of silver kush, and my friend wanted a cigarette and asked if he could use my lighter. we must have fucking searched the entire patio in the backyard before i realized it was still in my hand
