"put that fucking cigarette out! they been trying to get rid of cigs in lift lines for 30 fucking years." or something like that. he was pissed. she was getting embarrassed but didn't want to be told what to do. he kept jawing at her and she was about to put it out when her friend told her not to. you know, don't let that old fuck tell you what to do.
but the girl decided getting hammered on in front of 100 people she was going to be stuck with for the next 10 minutes (if we were lucky) wasn't worth it. so she tossed the cig in the snow. which set the beard off even more. 'pick it up!" her friend says "don't pick it up." people in the vicinity had odd smirks on their faces and i wasn't sure if they were smirking at the beard or the girl or just enjoying it all.
and finally, i couldn't help it, because it bugs the fuck out of me that people toss their cigs (aka garbage) everywhere like they're rose petals. i said "why not?" to which her friend replied something along the line of "she shouldn't do what he tells her." and i said, it's still garbage.
i think she ended up picking it up and then somebody nearby in the line took a big fat hit of some stinky bud. nobody complained.
i could be wrong, but didn't meadows ban smoking in the lift line?
