    Why is everyone a lighter thief?

    I woke up this morning with only one lighter to be found in my house and its one of those shitty ones that I HATE smoking with. Looks like this...

    I HATE lighter thieves. If I have multiple lighters, I will gladly give them away if someone asks me for one, as long as I still have one for myself, but stealing a man's lighter is just dirty.

    Amen.

    When I was 18, I lived in a townhouse with like 5 people. Somehow a lighter thief game got started and I started finding big bags just full of lighters stashed around the house. At that point, I guess it was fair game... considering we were all doing it, but now that I'm much older and only live with my fiance my friends shouldn't be jacking me for all my good ones during every visit.

    And fuck, if your gonna steal my lighters... at least leave me a bic, not a shitty plastic one.

    Yeah I've known a few people who like to play the lighter stealing game. It was really bad when I was in rehab. I could never bring myself to steal anyone's lighters, but mine were always getting stolen. lol

    Still.....I never buy my lighters. I always steal the 5-packs of Bics from the grocery store or something, but I never take another person's lighters, and that's what counts. lol

    And yeah.....fuck those cheap lighters. Those things are annoying and they start to hurt my thumb after a while. haha

    Heard!! And it's nearly impossible to successfully smoke a bowl with them, I'd probably be in better shape if I had an assload of matches.

    The only thing those lighters are good for is making flint bombs.

    Also.....I love matches. They smell wonderful:tongue:

    We used to call having your lighter stolen as "Clippered" due to the main lighter anyone would steal from you would be a clipper. It was a never ending game with us. Sometimes id wake up with no light or 6 in my pocket.
     
  9. I'm giving peeps the benefit of the doubt and assume that when they light up they absent-mindedly slip the lighter in their pocket. I don't care, I get given free lighters when I buy tobacco. It's normal here, if you buy a few packs at once you get a lighter.

    I used to live by a store that did that. It's a shame I don't now... however every time I pick up my cigs I go to the same local corner store and spend time sweet talking the owner... I bet in a few more months or maybe less he might start throwing me lighters when I buy cigs if I don't have one.

    it's just habit... not the stealing part.. but the putting the lighter in your pocket when you're done with it part...

    I recommend the lighter leash to anyone. Rule #1 is never ever take the leash off of your belt loop. Ever. No matter how awkward it seems. This model is okay but they break if pulled out all the way and do not retract.

    The best way to wear this one it is to have a small carabiner through the clip. It's just a little more convenient to use.

    The kind with the belt clip are a little flimsy but better than nothing.[​IMG]

    If you ever see these for sale buy a few, you will not regret it.

    There was a better kind a few years ago I haven't seen anywhere for awhile. I can't even pull up a picture of one. I'm glad I got 2, and guess what, no one pocketed them yet.

    Lighter leashes are the shit... I had one a long time ago and after a few months it broke, but it totally served it's purpose.

    This video doesn't really show how to make it, but I like it because he uses the cheap lighter. lol These dude's(apparantly known as "Fetus" and "Bacon") seem pretty fuckin stonerish also:

    My name is Tipsy and I am a lighter thief.

    I can't help it, I just take any I see. I think there are about four in my bag at the moment, and a couple in my coat.

    I'm dangerous around lighters.... even after warning people to pay attention to their lighters, I end up with them in my pocket...

    Back when I used to still go out to bars and such, I always came home with dozens of lighters... lol

    It has nothing to do with me either... they just naturally like my pockets...
