I had the top down so I motioned my arms like, "what do you want me to do?" because traffic in front of me wasn't going anywhere.
Then the guy stuck his head out his window and screamed at me, "do you do that in your living room?!" I realized he had honked his horn at me because I dropped a cigarette butt on the road while waiting in traffic (totally stopped so it had no chance of flying back onto his minivan) and not because he was mad at traffic.
I ignored him, but I saw in the rearview that he started to open his door to get out. Luckily traffic started moving just then, and I scooted away through a yellow light, leaving him at the red. What the hell? Why get so pissed off about someone dropping a butt on the ground? It's not like I threw it while my car was moving and it hit his car. Maybe he was upset because he was driving a Pontiac Montana.

Well its the cops job to enforce that law.
Not a citizen. If anything he could contact the police and arrest him. ( citizens arrest )
but, this person must be real stupid.
HE took a big risk trying to be a mr. cool guy because as ya'll hear stories in the news someone always pulls out a gun and shoots someone else.
If I were him i'd mind my business and leave it up to the cops.
#1. I would of smacked the shit out of that guy for that stunt.

I had a cig hit me in the eye once when the idiot ahead of me threw it out the window.
I smoke cigs every now and then. Dont get me wrong I've tossed it out the window a few times but, I normally dispose of it in the cig ash tray.
Littering isnt cool.
neither is getting hit in the eye with one.

Reminds me of a story. I was driving with my sister and brother-in-law and we were on a highway with lights near our house. Well my sister was finished with her apple and wanted my brother-in-law to throw it out his window cause his side of the car was wooded. However, my brother-in-law is a cop and there are FOP tags on the car. So m reluctantly he does it, and it lands in the woods. Well some guy behind him pulls up on my sisters side at the next light and starts to lecture about how he should be a better model. So in a snide, sarcastic tone, my brother-in-law fires back "well maybe you should be wearing your seatbelt"

I got pulled over once and I was smoking...the officer kindly asked me to flick my butt while I was talkin to him so as not to accidentally blow smoke at him....I dont see the big deal, its cotton and paper....OMG I can understand the guy being a bit perturbed but give it a rest.
