I was having a fine morning. I had just dropped my kids off to school, stopped at the bank, picked up a few things from the store and was heading back home to start searching news for the show. Nice sunny morning with a slight breeze and dry, colorful leaves piled up on the grassy median. When what to my wondering eyes should appear but a smoldering cigarette butt drawing ever so near. Right there in the middle of the lane, smoke rising from it. Did I mention the pile of colorful leaves, the dry, dry colorful leaves nearby?

I hate people who do this. I don't hate smokers. I hate rude smokers. And if you're throwing your cigarettes out of your car window and using the roads as your ashtray you're a 100% rude smoker. When it's near dry leaves or grass you are upgraded to 100% XXXhole. Look, you smoke. You inhale this garbage into your once healthy organs. You reek of smoke constantly. Your clothes smell. Your hands smell. Your hair smells. You smell. You're smoking in your car already so your car already smells. So the reason for throwing it out the window CANNOT be so that your car doesn't smell.

Typical whiny smoker: "Cars don't come with ashtrays anymooooooooore."

But stores do. Go buy one. Or use a friggin' Snapple bottle and put the cap back on or something. But throwing your cigarettes out of your car makes you look like a rude, inconsiderate XXXhole. Oh wait, you are one.
