This happened to me a couple of weeks ago, and I’d been wanting to make a comic and couldn’t think how until I hit on the idea of doing it from the officer’s POV. She was very pleasant, and I put up no argument - she was completely right. I will say in my (weak) defence that I’m 99% good about binning cigarette butts, but failed in this instance.
So, the moral of this story is, smoking is disgusting, littering is disgusting, I’m disgusting. So, don’t be disgusting! Or, be disgusting, but do it with more stealth. JUST KIDDING!
Also, I enjoyed the way the citation said “Female dropped cigarette butt and walked away” - it sounds SO furtive. Next time I’ll spend more time lurking at the scene of my crime. My non-smoking, non-vexatious-broad friend here is Sharon, who is a super illustrator and chum.
I’ve redacted the amount of the fine as it’s just too shaming.
Bahahahhahaha!
I had one of these horrible gits after me the other week for letting my dog off the lead when the teeny tiny sign ‘clearly’ stated ‘no dogs off lead’.
I wish I could say I was as cool as you, casually walking away, but i called the man a jobsworth bastard and legged it all whilst he was filming me. I honestly thought there would be WANTED posters up with my sweaty red angry face plastered all over them, but so far so good, I haven’t been caught… yet.
Oh Tor, I didn't think I could love you more. I have recently given up. But, my god ... I love nothing more than a cigarette on a sunny evening outside a city pub. And there are no ashtrays, what's a girl supposed to do ?
