Appropriate payback for flicking butts?

[sparr]

I was driving down the street (Ponce, near Briarcliff) on my scooter and someone going the opposite way flicked a cigarette out the window that hit me in the arm. Imagine my disgust and annoyance (imagine if it hit me in the face...). Now, what might be an appropriate response to this? I was considering picking it up, turning around, and throwing it back in their window, or possibly throwing something equally nasty (to them, as their cigarette was to me) in. Thoughts?

How about you never flick cigarettes out your window at all?

Not gonna happen..but so you know my cigarettes are organic and they do biodegrade quicker than commercial brands. Sorry your irritated that not everyone agrees with you. Adversity is a tool for learning.

This is exactly the sort of thinking that spurs me to throw it back into their vehicle. I think maybe it's time I started doing that. The scooter gives me the mobility and flexibility to reach down and get them, and to avoid being in an unwanted safety situation if the driver of the car tries to get physical.

Your way out of line.
#1. I am not in anyway being rude to you.
#2. I have looked over my comments and no seriously,I am not being rude to you.
#3. The out to get you mentality is not a good place to be in your head. You might want to think about it.
#4. Your over reacting and holding a grudge to something that was just an accident.
#5 Your contemplating putting yourself in a dangerous situation by planning on over reacting if it happens again to you in the future.
NOW don't take this the wrong way but--- are you bipolar? Because all my bipolar friends are freaking out this week over little shit. Maybe it was a sign for you to get a face guard on your helmet.
We all have to live in this world together. And not everyone's habit is going to fit together with everyones lifestyle. It's called the world,life..letting things go and moving on will better suit your heart , health,and mind...then THIS

A face guard on my helmet is not going to prevent me getting burns on my arm. You throwing burning refuse out of your car (and that is exactly what it is) is the problem, and apparently nothing short of radical counteraction is going to change your mind.

WHAT DID I SAY LIKE SEVERAL TIMES--THAT PERSON WAS ASS FOR NOT BEING AWARE OF THEIR SURROUNDINGS..I on the other hand TRY to make sure there is not a motorcycle around me before tossing a cigarette if I have to do so..In turn your attacking me for not doing the very thing that this person did---just because I said sometimes it can't be helped. Do you feel better yet?

Your comment may be of interest, but since you don't know when to use "you're" instead of "your", I know better than to read it.

You just lost the meta-argument.

Grammar trolls on the internet are LAME. Language evolves. You're and your is an actual grammar discussion. Google it and see what the outcome was. It no longer matters. So suck it. :)

Hey, just wondering if you've got a source on the your vs you're debate online. Google didn't give me anything except guides as to how to distinguish between them. If there's been a radical shift, I'd love to see it.
