Fucking lighter thieves......

[Former Guest]

Hemp wicks are great, I just keep forgetting to use them because, well, there's the lighter right there.

dude had the best system. you were allowed over there at 5:30 and everyone showed up at the same time, we all sat around and smoked pot from the bee line and we lit it off a candle on the coffee table. the lighter was always put back after lighting the candle. you also brought your own bag or jar to get your pot in and everyone left at the same time which was about an hour and a half later. looked like a dinner party was going on, set hours made you know when you could get your stuff, loaner jars were available but he would hound you if you forgot to bring them back. was a pretty cool set up except he was kind of a dick.

I HATE bic lighters....
And I'm not gonna freak if you accidently take one you find on my coffee table.
But if you pocket my Zippo, you sir, are a thief....

Damn right. Hands off the Zippo.
My grandfather used to have the ones that were clear with the fly inside. Don't know whatever happened to them. My asshole uncle probably threw them away.

yeah a zippo feels different for sure....


we live on automatic most of the time... mindless creatures
after you light a spliff, you put the lighter in your pocket (when you use your own)

so this behaviour repeats itself
I know I sometimes realize it and give it back

I don't remember taking any lighters recently, or much in my life (maybe once or twice)

you gotta give warnings before beating people
(so they know why they are getting one but also to give them a chance)

one of my friends asked me not to tip on his patio, he actually asked a few of us

I don't entirely get it
it took me some time (he had to tell me at least 2-3 times)

but eventually it gets through


I arrived to the conclusion that I am a slow learner
it takes me a while to learn, but once I know, it's hard to forget, and I believe I can master things eventually

school was a hassle, because you have to raise your hand, and get them to explain more slowly because they talk to you like you already know everything

I know at times I didn't want to slow down everyone by asking too many questions, sometimes I figured, others might be in the same position, too scared to ask

When the spare lighter and backup matches are gone, I use the stove (gas or electric), the gas grill w/built in igniter, car lighter, or the push button propane (or MAP) gas bottle. A lighter isn't worth getting upset over.

Sorry about your asshole uncle...
I believe the clear lighters you're remembering were Scripto's.
The were very popular in the 50's thru the mid 60's when I was a kid.. They had a chrome flip top and a clear body that you filled with regular Ronson or Zippo lighter fluid.. I used to have a few... they came with all kinds of different things you could see in them. Some had little dice, or a little ship or little plastic animal.
They were very cool...

Buy all pink bic lighters. Nobody wants to steal those.

 

[LEF]

it's true ^^
and since nobody (but girls) buy them, none of your friends will say, hey that's mine

you could also buy the pink and write your name on it

seems not having any friends can have at least one advantage

Ha, the lass behind the counter when I bought a lighter a few weeks ago grabbed the first one, saw it was pink and said, "Oh no , I'm sure you don't want a pink one.'".
I don't care, it's a lighter, not a fashion statement. Give me a hello kitty or gay pride rainbow one if you like, I don't care.
I usually have 2 lighters in my pocket anyway. Belt and braces.

 

[oldhaole]

The pink Bics work...nobody wants them.

Seriously though, you got nothing worse to bitch about than lighter thieves?

In this line of work they are a necessity. Shit happens, get used to it.

Go to Costco, buy a gross of the damn things, and replace what gets swiped from that. When they are gone, you swipe back all the previously swiped lighters.

You'll be good for a year.

Now stop whining.

Yes that's the one. Was thinking Zippo's. Sometimes I try to think but nothing happens, lol

Start dabbing, it's hard to walk off with a mapp gas torch.

I go to the max yield hydro show and I pick up at least 30 lighters as free swag, never lighterless.

Im so very glad i dont know some of the more uptight lighter nazis who have posted in this thread.
Grow another tenth of a gram... Sell it, and buy a spare.
There problem solved.
Ill take my occasional lighter "thieving" ass outa this thread.
I thought this was a joke cause i couldnt imagine gettIng all worked up over losing a bic.. But to each their own.
Peace, may the wind be at ur back, the sun on ur shoulders and a bic in ur pocket.

Hehe I was going to post the same thing. I couldn't smoke with some of the tightass' here. The only time I get a little rankled is when I'm face deep in a toaster and burn off a little facial hair, but my uncoordinated ass isn't the fault of the thief

that is very cool...

in the 90's my friends were crazy about these camel dollars. keeping an eye out for discarded camel wrappers i managed to order one of the catalog items myself, which was a joe camel head fishing lure.

i don't smoke tobacco, and i'm not sure that my friends who did really got it.

hooked...

Can I borrow a cigarette ?

 

[johndoe123]

If I have only one lighter I hold onto it and watch it like a hawk. When I buy a five pack they are all gone in a few days

 

[Mikell]

The more lighters you have, the faster they disappear

 

[Jellyfish]

.. unless you only have one.
