Man, we both have the exact same job. You even get paid more than me because you've been working there longer than I have.
So why is it that I can afford a pack of cigarettes, but you can't? :mad:

the story of everyones life whose ever been standing in a group outside for a short period of time smoking cigarettes
Oh yeah, my work was BAD. I had people tell me that each week they probably bummed out 15 cigarettes at work. I am not a cigarette smoker, and daily without fail, people were asking to bum cigarettes off of me! They didn't even believe me when I told them I didn't smoke..they would think I was lying so.Quote:

Ha ha! Well you should ask them next time, be like, what, you spend all your money on crack or something?! :p
When I smoked, I had people bumming from me too. The worst is standing at the bus station when all the high school kids got out. Nothing against against the youngens, but I had like 12 different people come up to me, "Can I bum a smoke?" or "you have an extra smoke?" I didn't know smokes came with extra ones. ;) Yes, I'm a smartass.
I remeber this one time me and a few buddies were in an all ages pool hall, and i made $15 selling 15 smokes for a $1 a piece. I had the same kids come up to me every half hour, can I buy another smoke? Sure, why not. :D
At a dollar a pop you could make a fortune off a carton.Quote:

Haha, yeah man. One of my friends smokes and his friends always bum off him, its hilarious.
There's this one guy named Julian who goes to my school who's always on the prowl for free cigarettes and tokes off joints. Everyone hates him...
i go to a lot of blackhawk games and every time i go...as were taking that short walk from the parking lot to the stadium i always see an.....unwealthy person.....ask a complete stranger for a cigarette....like i didnt think it was a problem or anything but it happens every time i go!
When I used to smoke I would only bring however many cigs I was going to smoke with me. Leave the rest in the car. That way you can say "Hey man, I only got this one left, sorry."
Either that or stick a firecracker halfway down a couple of your cigs.. Thatll be the last time they bum one from you.. :thumbsup:
Yeah...I know a guy who bums smokes all the time. He says he's trying to quit so he doesn't buy any. Yeah...he's trying to quit alright...he just quit buying them.
omfg, I HATE people who say they're trying to "quit" but still smoke. Its like they don't understand what quitting actually is.
try carrying a stale pack of pall mall reds to hand out to chronic cigarette bums.
i used to do it and after a while i noticed no one was asking me for cigs any more.
When I saw this post I was thinking it was gonna go like this...
"Why is it that we get paid the same amount of money, and have the same job description, but you get to stand outside and be a bum, and smoke a cig every 30 minutes."
I don't think people should be aloud cig breaks at work.
i agree. i think cigarette breaks should be aquiet, not aloud.Quote:

We don't get cigarette breaks at my job, but we are allowed to smoke while we work. We just light up right there in the shop.Quote:

Amen. Same I believe in with pot. I always share both. And yeah, if I can't take a break to smoke, someone will pay.

Same with pot.
This is another reason why I don't smoke cigs, so many people want them from you for free... Get your own ffs.
because I have an ex-wife???Quote:

It really pisses me off when people keep asking me for cigs! I have a neighbor upstairs from me that used to ask me all the time...I got to the point that I was like "I only have 3 left" or whatever! I have had complete strangers come up and ask me for a cig...If they weren't so freakin' expensive it wouldn't bother me as much!
where im from, its almost always random chavs in the street.
"Oi mate got a spare fag"
"afraid not"
"fuck off then prick you want to start something?"
followed by a torrent of abuse from a gang of 14 year olds as they back away down the road.
i dont really care about handing cigarettes out first of all it is like a nickel a cigarette to buy so im not losing much and there is always the option of saying now. i dont really get irritated when i hear that it is like someone saying how are you. sinceoe i can always say no. but there are always bums.
I go to college, and there's a smoking area in front of a building I go to for some of my classes... sit there for 5 minutes and it is guaranteed that somebody will ask you for one.
Panhandling for cigarettes! How low can you go ffs! I can't imagine how people would ever get the super lame idea that bumming a cigarette from a complete stranger could even remotely be socially acceptable. I like to completely center-out and imbarrass people that ask me.
QUIT SMOKING TOBACCO! Problem solved. Tobacco is just a third-rate substitute for pot, anyway. It stinks, messes with your blood circulation, it is unsexy (causes impotence in men!), it gives you cancer.... why bother? It's nasty stuff! Get yourself unaddicted! QUIT!
eh i dont mind giving ciggerettes to people who are really strung out and that you know actually buy them so next time your strung out they'll give you one ..meh,''sharing is caring'' :P
That's my philosiphy aswell. As long as people can hit me back, I don't mind giving cigarettes to themQuote:

i never ever give people smokes...especially at 10 bucks a pack.....forget about that..... good thing i quit...

I do it all the time, you'd be suprised the different types of fags you come accross. I was outside my barbers once and was chatting to this Israeli guy and he had some strange cigs, something Lights, got me a fat head rush like nothing I've ever had off a cig before, I had to sit down afterwards.Quote:

my trick was to take out my ciggs before work in my car, leave about 4 in the pack, maybe lend one, but the others i have an exucuse for
whoa, where the fuck u buyin your cigs at???? 4.00 hereQuote:

everyone at my job smokes but for some reason I am the one he always asks
but there are people at my job who give me cigs so I guess it cancels itself out in a way
but its just fuckin rude and annoying, cigs are 7 bucks a pack here, and I don't support no ones habit but my own
I'll lend ya a cigarette but if you ask me twice i'll be a wee bit pist.
