    I don't smoke; but this makes no sense to me. I regularly get asked by people 'for a light'. Today - two different people, at different times of the day, asked me for a light.

    If you smoke.....why do you not have a lighter? Are they expensive? Is there something I'm missing here?

    beause if you take a lighter out with you, alot of the time you give it to someone to light their cigarette and dont get it back because you're too drunk to remember
    so people just dont bother taking them out

    The flint can go.

    The gas can run out.

    You might leave it at home, in your car, or at your desk in work.

    Could you not have at least guessed along those lines?

    Lighters are like socks, they always disappear somewhere for a little party and never return.

    Lighters don't last for ever. Also there's a lot of social smokers out there. Then there's the players who want to chat people up. Then there's the nutjobs:pac:

    In the 80s only posh people had lighters.
    It was more common back then to be asked
    "Gotta match?"
    to which you were expected to reply
    "Your face and my arse"

    people perhaps are not buying decent lighters and forget matches were once the reining champions of fire.
    mum is a cheapskate and gets those seriously dodgy cheap lighters that barely light once before knackering,and when she is at home she lights her fags [with them in her mouth none the less] on the flame from the gas cooker hob,or she lights it using a rolled up piece of newspaper/rubbish on the gas fire,luckily she doesnt stick her head into that with her fag as well.


    if are fed up with being asked for lighters,just say havent got one and have heard chewing on fags is all the rage these days [ps.that is not a homosexual reference].

    Smoking effects the brain and the memory,
    either you go out and forget it or some other smoker forgot theirs and stole yours :D

    Whenever I get home from a night out I either have a different lighter to the one I went out with, or possibly 2 or 3 of them






    Or have none

    Lighters have to be one of the easiest things to lose or misplace.

    I'm constantly losing lighters. The times I most need a smoke are often the times I can't find any lighters.

    That is what I miss about smoking, the social habit, Hi have you got a lite, "do you come here often"

    The smoking section is the best shifting area out there.

    They may have genuinely not had a lighter on them or they may have been raging homosexuals - in a mixed up crazy world like this, who can tell anymore?

    Well, if you wake up with no trousers and a slight pain, and the last thing you remember is reaching for a lighter. I think you know :pac::pac::pac:
