Default Cigarette in the face

Riding along the NYS thruway 65 mph just cruising enjoying the ride when the dumb *** in front of me flicks a cigarette out her window. It comes back hits my windshield (street glide windshield is short) right at the very top and now the cigarettes hot ashes explode in my face. I get up next to her (she is about 50yr old) and I start screaming but she has no clue as to what I'm pissed about. She starts weaving in and out of 4 lanes of traffic trying to get away from me so I just backed off and had to let it go. I know no one here is guilty of anything like this but if ya got a wife, girlfriend, hubby, buddy etc. just remind them to use the damn ashtray...........BG

It's happened to me 100 times. Smokers have no clue sometimes. Regardless who's behind you it's ignorant to use your window as an ash trey. Definitely a pet peeve of mine.

They seriously need to start doing those $500 littering tickets for cigarette butts. Smoke if you want but there's no excuse for throwing them down on the ground. They're even gonna ban smoking on beaches because of it. I think it was Daytona.

I don't know what is worse, the cigarette butt or the loogie of skoal. If you are following a horse trailer and you see the tail of that horse go up, hit the brakes.........

I got hit just the other day, I wear a bennie skidlid, And this guy was in front of me, Every once in a while I would feel something hit me in the face,(thought is was bugs) then, I get it right in the cheek, hot cig ashes all over the place, down the shirt, behind the shades,[:@] I wish people would be a little more careful. But I guess when you ride, The world is out to get you anyway. At least thats what it seems like..

Ouch that sucks.

I was behind some teenagers about a week ago and they decided to clean out the car. I cannot imagine they even thought anyone was behind them they just started tossing trash out the windows, and I mean a lot of trash. The funny thing is they did not notice the LEO that was watching them as well.

I came back that way about 2 hours later and the LEO was standing watch as the teenagers 4 boys were cleaning up all sorts of trash off the side of the road. I Imageine he had them do that in lieu of a ticket, cheaper for them and a better lesson too.
