So we had a house party last night. Good times were had. It was a BYO type affair, and one dude took that VERY seriously evidently because he brought a keg! Needless to say, there were shennagins galore. One thing that wasn't cool is that people were out on my patio smoking. I don't have a problem with that, but this morning i come to find out that they were throwing their butts on the ground. How fucking disgusting. I maintain that smokers are the most disgusting, inconsiderate people on the fucking planet. I really don't give a shit if they smoke outside, but to throw their biohazard used cigarette butts on my porch is just a dick thing to do, especially when there was a perfectly good trash can in the middle of the patio for people to throw their dead beers into. Probably the same retards who throw lit cigs out of their car, and then wonder why there are wildfires along the highways.... /rant |
| You threw a party, and oh my God, you just might have some cleaning up to do afterwards. I guarentee that when you put on some gloves and pick up the butts (along with all the other trash that may have been left during said "shenanigans"), it'll look as good as new. |

Dude, I'm w/ ya. It's not like it takes THAT much effort to put it out and even put it in a nice pile in the corner. I expect to clean up, but when there is a big ass trash can in the middle of a room you expect the beer cans to make it there. Smokers seem to think that when their butts hit the ground, they instantly disapear. News flash, THEY DON'T. That said, I hope it was a great party. I figure parties are measured by the number of boobs flashed, or the number of things you have to fix later.

there were maybe 40 or so people there, LOTS of beer being consumed, and only maybe 3 or 4 people were smoking, but there were far more cig butts that needed to be cleaned up in the morning than empty beer containers. As drunk as people were, they were still considerate enough to put their empties in the trash can provided. I think you're right about smokers thinking their butts disappear the instant they hit the ground. Evidence can be had at every curb in the country. They'll sit in their car sucking that nastiness into their bodies, but refuse to put the cig out in the ash tray that is standard equipment in their car.  don't get me wrong, this isn't an anti-smoker thread. I really don't care if people smoke (as long as it isn't inside my house or car) i just hate it when they're inconsiderate with their trash. |

in Mad Men smoking is stylish , I remember ash trays everywhere full of cigs in those days , now its maybe stylish to litter with them ... We always have a huge 4th of July party at home in Pa. lots of fireworks and food , people , kids .. Our main concern is the safety since there is somany things being ignited.. So far its been great,, but the mess is always insane .. |
That's the ironic thing. The beer drinkers wouldn't wantonly throw their beer cans over the balcony or drop them where they stand by any means, but someone smoking a cig would simply toss the butt without a care. I personally don't care if people smoke, even around me. I grew up w/ it. but just throw or discard your butt appropriately. I suggest, and might even try, having a decorative bowl thing outside, with sand in it, for people to put their butts in. If that doesn't work, I guess I'll have to draw down on them. |
+1 Yeah, no shit... Lets ponder this for a minute while I puff away on my Marlboro.... Fresh out of college, has a kegger at his house and doesn't expect this type of shit to happen? Did he learn anything durring those four years Wonder how many biohazard beer bottles / empty cups were left lying around afterwards  BTW, I am not a fucking slob, especially at other people's houses..I throw away my trash...and I do use the ashtray in my vehicle. Not all of us smokers act like total assclowns. |
Good for you. Read above and you will see that everyone else threw their shit away. This is a common smoker's problem. I know, my brother, dad, and mom smoke. Guess what, when they come over, I have to pick up their butts. At my brother's house, they are all over his front yard. When you go to someone's house and have a piece of candy, do you throw the wrapper on the ground? Probably not. It is a kind of urge though. In college, I used to smoke and I remember taking that last puff and feeling the urge to fick it somewhere. Point is, you are invited to someone's house, be considerate and throw you're shit away, or be prepared to come over and pick up your shit. AND YES, my friends do this. |
Holy crap Nancy, you invited people over to drink. Chill out. Your post could have read "Drunks set my trash can on fire" instead. |
|
I'm guessing the smokers didn't throw their butts into the trashcan because of old habit - didn't want to start a fire. Was it a plastic garbage can with a plastic liner? Even if not, there could still be some paper plates or other combustible items in there. Give them a metal bucket to throw their smokes into. |
Double whammy  So basically, OP is saying he invites "Filthy inconsiderate pricks" over to party. |

Most smokers, even drunk ones, won't throw their butts into a trash can containing flammable items. Some training works even when intoxicated. If you did not think to set out some sort of ashtray(s), then most smokers will either drown their butt in their nearly empty drink and toss the whole thing, or if the drink is a fresh one, then the butt goes on the grount to be stomped out. I'm guessing, but if you have a glance at your trash, I'll bet you will find more than a few drink cups with butts in them, and likewise beer bottles. If you did not disallow smoking, and failed to set out ashtrays or the like, it's your fault. |

Dear Emperor I use to be an extremely considerate smoker, always outside, always down wind, field strip the butt and put it in my pocket. never around children, even would clean up other peoples ash trays. Cigarettes generally don't start fires (temperature is low) but even so, I'd never pitch one out. People would always be surprised to discover I was a smoker. Now having watched smoking be blamed for every ill conceivable on the planet, enduring the "sin" tax on cigarettes going to the moon and listening to people say smokers are "second class" citizens. Reading on this site, how the people have rights and the rights need to be protected. Excepting those of smokers, of course. Now, I couldn't care less about your sensitive feelings...F*** You. I bounce my lit cigarettes butts off people now, they get left where ever I feel like leaving them. Especially dry kindling. You want to castigate people...Fine, I'll live right up to your expectations. |

I'm with you on this one, I hate smokers, their stink and their trash that they throw out windows and on the ground. I LOVE that NY has strict anti smoking laws. I'm in PA right now and unfortunately, there's smoking in restaurants. In fact, it's the first time in years I had to respond, "non smoking please" in a restaurant. Smokers = The Black Lung Plague 
|
One thing about the good old days is that people had common courtesy, including not throwing their litter on someone's porch. In the "good old days" you didn't have to get upset about something like this, because people weren't so inconsiderate. |
OMG! He's trampling on your "right" to throw butts on his porch! 
|
The OP called smokers "Filthy inconsiderate pricks" maybe you should take a course in comphrehension. |
So he trampled on your right not to be offended? Your statements have basically proved his point; you seem proud of your inconsiderate nature. |
People like the OP want to speak (write) in generalties, that's their perogative. I'll be glad to fit their stereotype. |
Aren't you the dude who threw his new rifle down the driveway because you wanted it to look 'used'? (Yes, I lurked here that long ago.) I think you might be a...what's the word? Twatwaffle? |
That would be Lieutenant Twatwaffle
