Anyone else have a problem with people constantly taking their lighters? I always get asked "hey man, can I use your lighter?" and so of course I say yeah sure and hand them the lighter. The thing is, they always use it and then freaking put it in their pocket or lose it. Some even flat out deny having it when I ask for it back. It's like, dude, I specifically remember handing you my lighter just a few seconds ago, how the hell do you not have it? And then when I call them out on it they get pissed and act like I'm being a douche and I should just chill because it's only a lighter. Well I don't have money to be constantly replacing my lighters, and even if I did, I shouldn't have to. Whenever I bum a light from someone I always make it a point to hand it back when I'm finished with it. It's just common courtesy imo. Anyone agree? Or is it just not a big deal for most of you?
I did for a little but but then they got all pissed off and and made me feel like an asshole so I was like whatever but you have to promise to give it back when you're done. First few times of smoking the lighter made it back to me every time but now they're starting to disappear again. I swear though if I lose one more I'm saying fuck it get your own lighter.
Get a pink lighter and they won't keep it. Unless they are girls of course. Or maybe remember to get back your lighter after they use it?
i just peel the label off and do it wrapped around it. then i can always tell. but just get a lighter leash, a big crack lighter (no one wants those) or use it for em (cigs).
one friend always does it, he'll steal like 4 or my 5 lighters and i'll be like "WTF i had 5 lighters 2 days ago" and he'll be like "idk dude, i only have this one right here, you can have it though" and then of course i have to say no cuz we both have 1 and if i say yes he makes me feel all guilty and shit. but its like i have no one in my car for weeks and dont lose any lighters than i meet up with this kid and they all dissapear WTF
It never happens to me I simply don't allow it but I hate when people do that shit and even having to remind someone to give me my lighter back annoys me. I have 70+ all acquired legitimately.
if I smoke anything away from home I use a pack of matches. Problem solved. [at home i use a very nice colibri lighter in gold I was given about 30 years ago that is engraved and irreplacable. *Nobody* uses it except me.]
I.I...I'M SORRY I do it unconsciously, it's a stupid habit that I always do, it's seriously not my fault (even though I think it's hilarious how I troll my friends when I don't even think of what I'm doing) One time me and my friend were smoking, I somehow managed to pocket all FIVE of his lighters, when he went home he couldn't light it up (lol), I felt pretty bad, but thought it was hilarious at the same time. But nowadays I always give them back when me and my friends split.
Yeah man I just flat out stopped handing them out to people, Its like i wouldn't expect to get like given various bags of bulk seed at my local super market for free, so why they trying to steal my light?
