Question

Answer 1

Ya know that has happened a few times, but I am so anal that I almost never forget things. I have a mental checklist I go through before I leave. Hummmmmm, I wonder what is worse the smoking or my brain? Atleast the cigarettes keep my mind at bay.

Answer 2

I have notice people who do smoke are like this. what I don't like is that they seem to be allowed to take cigarette breaks al day at work and nothing is said, yet the hard workers get Bi@tched at and screamed at to to more work. That is what it was like when I was in the insurance company for 12 years. Smoking should be done on a persons OWN time not at the cost of the company. I remember when I worked for a Dr office cigarette breaks were not allowed at the office because it was health and wellness center you had to smoke before you came to work, on your break AWAY from the facility or when you left to go home. They are also angry, bitter and grippy because many are addicted to nicotine in the cigarettes which is a habit forming substance. I also think it is very rude and a POOR testimony is when people smoke outside of church after service.

Answer 3

This is because of "Sod's Law" - the name for the old and famous axiom"Anything that can go wrong, will"."Toast will always land butter side down" is often given as an example of Sod's Law in action. The phrase is seemingly derived, at least in part, from the colloquialism an "unlucky sod"; a term used to describe someone who has had some bad unlucky experience, and is usually used as a sympathetic reference to the person.
