Please note that proper smoker's etiquette for butt management was already described, yet another friendly service offered at no additional charge.

Pet peeve alert.

This is one of my peeves too. I actually said something to a guy yesterday for this. He wasn't in a car though. He was on the sidewalk with a kid. And just tossed it on the ground right in front of me. I just looked at him and said, "nice example for your kid," as I walked by.

What would you suggest he do with the butt? Cities provide trash cans on the streets for litter. If they provided ashtrays ashtrays, I'd gladly use them.

Spending tax dollars to support his filthy habit is not the answer. If he wants to smoke, he should figure out a way to do dispose of the butt without acting like trash. However, I'm guessing that crushing butt underfoot to ensure it's out and then putting it in a trash can would be acceptable.

Actually, in WA state, it's a fine of over a grand for tossing a lit cigarette butt out a window, while tossing something else is like a $600 fine.

my brother got a pretty expensive ticket for doing this last week... but it might be because the cops in that neighborhood like to profile minorities
