it is called ''getting bicked'' and i fucking hate it..i just went and bought a 3 pack of the shitty ones for 99 cents..i use them as decoys
Yeah it's really only cool when you can catch someone off-guard with it. I did it in class when I was at Job Corps one time while we were watching a movie. All of the lights were off in the classroom and there was suddenly a big fire ball exploding in the center of the room and everyone almost fell out of their chairs. haha
that's the same with me.. but it was yin for yang.. one day i'd have like a dozen lighters.. then a couple days later im looking for one.. but i went years without buying a lighter... like you said.. they naturally liked my pockets
But on the flip side, isn't it great when a friend visits and leaves their brand new lighter at your house? And then doesn't come back for weeks, so by the time they come back, they don't even realize that the lighter they're smoking with was theirs in the first place? I've accumulated some nice Clippers that way.
It's not exactly the equivalent of a winning ticket for me, but that's because my friends used to bum off our weed for what seemed like ages and now they don't come around a whole lot, but when they do, they bring their own, and usually they leave a bowl's worth on the break tray for us when they go. That's a winning scratch off ticket. Especially since some of those friends live in a bigger city now and have easier access to higher quality stuff.
Everyone in this thread is guilty of being a lighter thief. Hell you've probably done it, found a lighter in your pocket and just assumed it was yours you forgot about.
Not me. I don't carry lighters normally, so I don't have a habit of putting them in my pocket. It's a habit of mine to just leave the lighter on the coffee table wherever we are. So, I may be the bitch who loses the lighter, but I don't steal lighters.
Yeah I admittedly used to play the lighter stealer game with my roommates... And every now and then I may pocket a lighter by pure habit... but I usually catch it and give it back. These days I will not purposely steal someone's lighter. Started this thread cuz I had some friends over that night, had 4 lighters out and not a one of them were left when I woke up in the morning... Theres no excuse for stealing 4 lighters, I don't care how high you are lol
Like others here...lighter acquirer here too. No thief. It isn't a good habit. I can see why it pisses people off. Given I never have a lighter on me, ironically.
