If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
|
Well, your rights end where someone else's lungs begin, I guess. With the fire that broke out - exacerbated by the smoker's oxygen tank - they have a legitimate safety concern. |

ZOOOOOM!
|
Back when I had a delivery job, one night I pulled into a community of duplexes and met the guy I was delivering to outside on his front porch. As he was signing the receipt, the door to the house across the street blasted open and the house blew out a wall of fire. The whole place was up in smoke about 5 minutes after that, and eventually burned down to the ground. No idea how the door just exploded like that, but the papers later said that the fire started from a loose cigarette in the basement. Fortunately there was no one inside when the fire started. |

Actually it was more like this:Me: "...Huh!" Other guy: "Holy sh!t...." And then we both stood there to watch the fire spread. Got a scene of about 500 onlookers in about 3 minutes. I left as soon as I heard the sirens though because I didn't want to get boxed in. I was still on the clock.

I Owe It All To John D'Oh

When I lived in San Francisco, there were people who'd ask drivers of parked cars in front of their house to turn off their engines, so they wouldn't have to breathe the fumes while the engine was idling. |

I would have called, (as I'm headed down the road), "Sorry, boss.. There's been a huge explosion and I'm totally blocked in. Yeah, it's a real mess down here..." And then gone out for coffee or something.
