Eeew.

People are crazy. I just came back from the wonderfully warm outside, and as I was walking West along 51st Street, a preppyish man was walking East. Just before we crossed paths, he reached out and picked up a smoldering cigarette from a windowsill and started smoking it. All without breaking stride.

He wasn't some bum, he wasn't drunk, he just happened to see a perfectly good Camel going to waste, and decided to snag it. It's amazing and appalling at the same time.

Eeew is right--that's serious nastiness! I think I did that once when I was about 9 years old and curious. Not to mention less aware of germs.
