Popular Post Pseudolus Posted August 1, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2012 Was smoking outside the BTS yesterday, Phrom Phong. Glanced up and saw a copper eyeballing me obviously taking a break up on the gantry from his heroics performed that day. Well, let's be honest, standing on the gantry watch people before they climb up the stairs to see if they drop a fag butt that he could then extort money from. Anyway, last time I was caught I got out of it by shouting loudly as if I was deaf "Sorry officer - HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU WANT? YOU WANT TAKE MONEY NOW? HOW MUCH?" to which he got embarrassed and mumbled "first time no fine. It ok. you Go". Anyway, getting to the point, I smoked it down to the end and let the cherry drop to the floor and I kept the butt in my hand slightly hidden. As I walked up the stairs I saw the little rat smiling to himself, and he reached into his top breast pocket and pulled out a small oblong yellow laminated piece of paper. Nearing to the top, he was turning and walking in my direction and as soon as he saw me glancing at him his smile dropped and he put on his "this is a serious offence" face. So I topped the stairs this guy could not believe his luck as I walked straight towards him; so much so his smile almost came back. He said "You! You!". I said "Officer. Where is bin? I need to put this in Bin" slowly moving my hand into his line of site with the fag butt clenched pride of place between thumb and finger to head height. Awwww his face,. You should have seen it. It reminded me of the time I told my brother Santa does not exist. Classic. I tried not to laugh. He said "no bin". So with a cheery "OK" I walked off towards the ticket machine and thence popping it into the bin next to the ticket booth. With him following me a handful of meters behind. Walk up tot he platform and who should I see - Mr "Take that you farang scum for having a balloon" G4S security guard. He's got a huge big torch now by the way and they're a lot heavier that an metal detector. What ever happened to that bloke anyway? Get paid off or kicked out? Ahh happy days. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hands22 Posted August 1, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2012 Why do you like to play games with these officers? You might have got away with a 'victory' but I am sure this officer will vent his anger on the next unsuspecting litterer. Happy days indeed! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 dirty smokers throwing your trash around like you own the streets, hopefully next time they catch you. Putting it in a waste bin is throwing it around? If the native population followed his example there wouldn't be anything like the amount of crap scattered around as there is now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the native population followed his example there wouldn't be anything like the amount of crap scattered around as there is now. almost all smokers throw their butts around most of the time, 1 time in a bin doesnt make it right. Add to that the unecessary smoke giving everyone around cancer and sore throat. Smoking in public just means that a kid will almost everytime get the smoke blown into his face. Very nice.

Glad we don't get cancer from car exhaust fumes or sore throats. Still, just because there isn't a warning to health sticker on car exhausts likely means there is no risk! Behave!!.................. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pseudolus Posted August 1, 2012 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2012 dirty smokers throwing your trash around like you own the streets, hopefully next time they catch you. I always do - flick the end off, and put the butt in the nearest bin. If there are no bins around though which of course they don't have near MRTs or BTS's so the cops can extort people, you have a choice - dump it on the floor like all the locals do or take it upstairs in the hope there is a bin. Don't speak for all smokers though, and I am not dirty. I had 3 showers yesterday Why do you like to play games with these officers? You might have got away with a 'victory' but I am sure this officer will vent his anger on the next unsuspecting litterer. Happy days indeed! Because I can. Every one is going to be extorted by these bastards so it doesn't matter what I do. Fun though - give it a try almost all smokers throw their butts around most of the time, 1 time in a bin doesnt make it right. Add to that the unecessary smoke giving everyone around cancer and sore throat. Smoking in public just means that a kid will almost everytime get the smoke blown into his face. Very nice. I assume you never get in car or bike then? You do not use electricity? Only someone who has nothing to do with any kind of combustion at all can throw these comments around with impunity. Plus I'm not giving someone cancer - they are taking it from me! How dare you non smokers STEAL my smoke from me? I bought and paid for them and I object you taking a free puff from my dime. Not very nice at all 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post whistleblower Posted August 1, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2012 you dont need to be smoking to live but you need a car to be living in this world I personally avoid using my car as much to help with my poluting of this earth. Smokers for me rank as low as pedophiles and murderers. You're no better than those people. You're poluting and making people sick for absolutely no good reason. Only because you are weak minded. If you like the taste of tobacco you can always smoke cigars or roll your own cigarets with pure tobacco But this is 2012, the years where even the worst of the world are supported in their bad choices. I will give up smoking the day you stop wasting oxygen! Deal? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true...but when you need to raise cash you don't go looking in the slums for investors. Dumb and gullible with money, prime meat and combine that with a ready made habit of smokers polluting and littering...you cannot blame them really.

Not very nice at all If you don't want people to passively smoke your cigarettes, don't leave them burning in the ash tray. I don't. Next? I find a lot of people leave the cigarette burning between draws. At least a decent tight roll-up will scarcely smoulder, or even go out, unless you're taking a good draw on. I blame the cigarette companies, who put foul-smelling burn enhancers in their cigarettes to keep them burning on the ashtray - which does no good to me, and no good to the smoker either, it just wastes cigarettes and costs you money.

Considerably worse than a Cigarette in any environment (possibly excluding Bill Clintons ideas on the matter). Funnily enough I find cigar smoke, roll-ups and pipe smoke generally less unpleasant. Of course, the thick clouds of smoke can be a bit overwhelming, and there is the difficulty of not being able to see your hand in front of your face, but for the same density of smoke, I find factory-rolled cigarettes the worst; and, of course, the worst from the perspective of burning in the ash tray. If you're interested in ash-tray humour, you could try the "By Special Request" thread in Jokes etc., which has an entertaining ashtray-related anecdote set in Ireland, if my memory serves me well.

Opening post : Anyway, last time I was caught ............ So which one is it ? Yermanee When there was no bin to put it in. That's when. Only so long I will hold rubbish before I toss it. With 3000 street cleaners to every meter of road in thie town, you would have thought they might invest in a bin or two but that is far too much like common sense.
