Dropping a cigarette end on the floor.....?

Question

I was in my local town centre just now, enjoying a roll your own cigarette....when I'd finished said item, there was about 5 millimetres of butt left, which I put on the floor (God, what a HIDEOUS crime against humanity!) - whereupon, one of our local ex-army/failed, frustrated policemen (delete as appropriate) Community Wardens informed me that if he'd has his book on him, I would've gotten an £80 on the spot fine....

Sorry, am I the only person who actually wants to smoke MORE now, just to pee off these supercilious, officious, jumped up little wannabe jobsworths off....?

Answer 1

You muppet. What if everyone thought like you? Oh, it's only a cigarette butt. Oh, it's only a crisp packet, or a sweet wrapper, or a newspaper I've finished reading. My dog has has just crapped on the pavement, but hey, the rain will wash it away soon enough. Pretty soon our streets would be knee-deep in litter.

What the hell is wrong with finding a litter bin to put your rubbish in? You choose to smoke, so deal with the results.

Answer 2

What a phuckin liberty,you don't see the jobsworths enforcing the illegal use of mobile phones in cars or any other transport for that matter,PC,big brother and bullsh1t,anyway,I would have though a hand rolled ciggy will bio-degrade much quicker than a synthetic tipped Tailor made ciggy.Exhaust fumes are more harm full to our health and the environment so lets ban all diesel and petrol forms of transport as well.

Answer 3

Imagine everyone throwing their cigarette butts on the ground and throwing papers and wrappers all over the place and leaving bottles and cans here and there among the over debris. Gee isn't that the way it is and why our planet is looking like a pig sty? When I went to the beach along the Gulf Coast there was more trash washed up than I had ever seen in my entire life. When are people going to realize that keeping the planet clean requires individual effort. Each little butt comes from one person who thinks it's insignificant.

Answer 4

I do not understand the problem with dropping a roll your own cigarette as it is biodegradable, it is only thin paper and a tiny bit of plant.
I can see the argument for filtered cigarettes though

You do get some people that seem to love even the slightest bit of power that some jobs offer, next time you see him put it out in his eye

Answer 5

I think that to fine people for dropping their cig butts is the only way that it will stop. Britain is a mess in general with litter and the like and something needs to be done. This may seem harsh but in the long run its a good thing. Use a bin next time.

Answer 6

Maybe if you had a little bit more pride you'd put it in one of the countless bins that the council provide. How hard is it?

There's nothing worse than walking about your local village / town and seeing litter all over the place. Does it matter how small it is, because it all adds up.

Lazy barsteward!!!!!

Answer 7

Just don't dump your ends OK. Get a tin ,a tobacco one would be fine, and put your ends in it. Take them home. Unwrap the paper and roll a couple of new cigs with the saved tobacco. This saves making a mess and saves you money as well.Seems sensible to me.

Answer 8

That's littering, mate, and whether you think one of the 'failed frustrated policemen' was being unreasonable or not, it's you that broke the law whether you like it or not.

I bet you're the type that moans about rubbish all over the streets too.

Answer 9

yeah.. high five. alright. next time go a little Sid Vicious on the cowardly booby...i mean bobby.
i side with self stated HIDEOUS criminal for several reasons;
#1. i hate cops
#2. the paper that cancer sticks are rolled with becomes invisable once the social pirate dances the Monster Mash on it -to anyone; accept a forensic scientist.
#3. i despise litter, it all goes to the Ocean and is a constant reminder that "ignorance is bliss" approach to life is more common than the last name Jones or Smith or something of that nature. if the butt is just some tobacco and that paper its acceptable behavior to me,
#4 I hate cops who are on the clock, in uniform, or wearing a badge, that shouldnt be, because they are a grimy, slimy, corrupt, lowlife, of a criminal minded hypocrite, with an inferiority complex, weakwilled coward, exact opposite of "Godly", woman beating drunk--that didnt get caught. and that badge makes their heads swell up and all of a sudden their f-ing king kong or somesh it. i hope some ex-con is f ucki n g the crap out of their wives while they are at work..
high five.**

**- does not apply to the good cops that are out there, and officers while they are off duty, accept the one who followed Steve Foley home from a club and shot him several times at his house just before the CHARGERS started last season. good going jackass

Answer 10

Technically, it's littering, and you can be arrested for it. BUT, before people slag me off, it does seem a bit excessive. Maybe if the councils are that worried about it, they should provide more bins for cigarettes!?
