After Action [COMPLETED]

[GR] "INCENDIARY CRISIS"

Written 06 December 2019

I think I earned my right to be pissed.

I just hate it when someone would approach me and ask to light up their cigarette. Like―really? You're buying a whole fucking pack of those prestigious "cancer sticks", yet you have no chump change to spare for a fucking lighter―or a box of matches, if you're totally low on funds? Jesus fucking Christ―such neanderthal parasites.

Context: the IRR for Executive Order 26, which prohibits all variety stores to have any incendiary device such as lighters and/or matchsticks displayed on the forefront, is now strictly enforced in my place. And the people who―for some stupid reason―have not any lighters at the ready, are asking me to light up their cigarettes. I can understand when a random stranger is asking me for the first time; after all, lighting up someone's cigarette is a show of camaraderie for a smoker. (For the record, I am in no way promoting this particular vice.) However, when the same face asks you for a lighter the second time around―especially when I'm doing my global challenge on Temple-fucking-Run 2, or some other shit I'm busy with―it ceases being a show of camaraderie; rather, it only shows how stupid the other person is for not bringing their own incendiary devices. It's like planning your own demise, but you still have to borrow all the tools you need from the "nearest" neighbor. Same goes for those who will ask to borrow your lighted cigarette for the purpose of lighting up their own; on rare instances, they end up breaking the lighted tobacco off your cigarette stick.

At this point, I just want to say, "Get on my level, neanderthal", but that will offend our Neanderthal ancestors for being stereotyped as dumb monkeys.
