can i tell you how much it irritates me that people blow their smoke out the window and I am sitting next to them or behind them at a stop light? even with my windows up the smell comes right into my car.
but i haven’t figured out a way to make it illegal to smoke OUTSIDE too!..lol
I have a friend who was driving behind someone who was smoking on the highway when all of the sudden she had a cigarette in her lap! The person in front of her threw it out of the window and it landed on her. Crazy thing was it was still lit. Luckily, she wasn’t hurt. The other driver got off the highway before she realized what had happened so she couldn’t do anything about it (no idea what she would have done). Still…pretty scary.
I’ve seen someone toss their cigarette out the window and have it land in the bed of the pick-up they were driving… setting fire to the mattress they had back there :shock:
Eeek! :shock:
:roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard: Ok, this is not a safe thread to read while on the computer in the library!!!
Hedgewick,
I wonder if the police would do something if you got the license number of the car and showed them the cigarette? We live in the woods and one careless cigarette can burn it down. There was a big fire by the highway about 3 miles away from someone doing that!
The only danger I’ve heard of was on the MSN knitting board. Someone there was knitting while riding in the car, and one of the needles literally exploded. They have pictures of it up and everything. It just has this crater in the side of it. :shock:
The theories as to why it happened are really interesting.
Okay. I am such a hypocrite. I knit in the car today. :oops:
Let it burn and then tell the insurance company it was your collection of luxury fibers. ;)[/quote]
actually, that wouldn’t work. In a house fire, if you have any collections, they are not covered. You have to have a seperate insurance policy on collections. That means my dolls, precious moments, music cd’s, and dvd’s are not covered. Oh and of course the enormous amount of yarn in my stash.
Oh well, then I’d just have to go buy more!
