    and the other one i love to say is sorry i dont smoke :)
    yes thats with a cig in me hand

    by the time they have realised what i have said i have walked off
    Just what I was going to suggest!!

    I don't smoke, yet often get asked for spares or a light, and the abuse I get when I say I don't smoke is something else!
    Please excuse my bad spelling and missing letters-I post here using either my iPhone or rathr rubbishy netbook, neither of whch have excellent keyboards! Sorry!

    Why talk or make eye contact at all if all it gets you is abuse? Just keep walking and ignore them

    when i wont give her a cig (always)
    she says can i pick up your dog ends thanks
    eeuuuucchhhh

    You drop your fag ends on the floor in your own garden?


    At least these people who go around collecting up the fag ends are cleaning up after the smokers who think it is okay to chuck their rubbish where ever it suits them.

    :D

  • Spare Cig - I dont smoke, so the answer is always "i dont smoke"

    Spare 20p, 50p - Years ago, i would just give them 20p to shut them up. Then one day, they noticed i had a bit more, and attempted to mug me. Mainly as i had a few £1 coins in my pockets, and had to go searching for a 20p coin.

    Years on now, the answer is "No" and walk away smiling. I'm older now, bigger in build & would probably fight back.

    I am pretty evil when i've had a few beers, I role in that "Liar Liar" film character, where the guy cant stop saying "Yes", so the usual reply is "Yes, but not for you for more beer"..

  • Lady in the bus station on Tuesday missed the last bus to a housing estate just a 10 minute walk away from town. The bus there is fairly irregular and finishes at about 6, so it wasn't like it was really late and a potentially dangerous walk. On learning there were no more buses, did she walk? No, she went around asking people for the money for taxi fare!!!

  • Have to say that this really pees me off! Ciggies cost a small fortune, even when I only buy the cheapies like Pall Mall:rotfl:

    I used to always get stopped round the back of Birmingham library when I was rushing through to the subway to get to college and I always used to say no and carry on running. Until one day, I had really bad PMT and this scrotey chavey girl got up off her sleeping bag and stood right in my way and I just snapped and told her to eff off, get a job and get out of my face or I'd give her my spare fist! (I've never hit anyone apart from a mugger btw)

    Very unlike the usual placid me but she never bothered me again:rotfl:
