Hey, Smokey....

One thing I cannot stand is cigarettes.  The look, the smell, the litter.  What is it with cigarette smokers?  They think it's totally okay to toss their cigarettes out the window of the car.  When you are driving behind them, the cigarettes hit the wind and often fly back and hit your windshield.

This is always exciting when it's dark and there are still burning embers in the cigarette.  No doubt your hood will display a bright orange explosion as the embers crash into your car.

And stop lights - ever look at the curbs?  They're usually piled high with cigarette butts.  This is disgusting.  This is trash.  This is littering.  This is irresponsible.  This is inconsiderate.

I've decided that I'm going to start calling out these polluters.

Hey, you - person driving the late model silver Honda Odyssey with the Maryland license plate M924902 with the Liberty High School magnet and the Freedom Soccer magnet on the tailgate traveling eastbound on Liberty Road this morning about 7 a.m. - I didn't appreciate the cigarette you tossed out of the window that flew back and hit my car.
