Smoking drivers and fag ends.

[col]

You've spent a good bit of the thread saying how you chuck your dog ends out of your car window. If you don't think this is OK, stop doing it.

I dont normally, but I admitted to doing it sometimes and look how everyone reacts, no wonder people wont admit to things

 

[Rhythm Thief]

No one's reacted with more venom and vigour than you. If I was goo, I'd be expecting some kind of apology about now. You've behaved like an arse.

 

[goo_mason]

Its not a bird, its slang for a mammery.

Actually, it's 'mammary' Col. But thanks for explaining it to me !

Its the other way round , he said my kids throw their rubbish in the street, they dont, nor do I, and I admitted to throwing fag ends out of the window thats what Was being talked about.

I didnt explain that just spelled it wrong.

 

[col]

This was what he said.

I hope you're setting a better example to your children and encouraging them to put their rubbish away in the bin rather than toss it in the street

 

[Dave5N]

Jesus!

If he had said
I hope you're setting a better example to your children and encouraging them to put their rubbish away in the bin.
Thats fine, but to add rather than toss it in the street was a bit below the belt .

No it wasn't. You'd just admitted to doing precisely that.

 

[col]

No it wasn't. You'd just admitted to doing precisely that.

Its talking about my kids actions, not mine.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

It's hardly inflammatory to express a hope that you bring your kids up not to drop their litter. Especially - as I said - as you'd just cheerfully admitted to dropping litter yourself. Goo wasn't commenting on your kids' actions, merely expressing a hope that you bring your kids up not to drop litter. Nothing to get upset about at all.

No Col - it's about your actions and the hope that your kids are being taught not to follow your example on littering.

Yes I have admitted to throwing the odd fag end out of the car, but Iv never said my kids throw litter on the street.
I wouldnt have got upset if he hadnt of added the " rather than toss it in the street",

How could they follow my example, they have never been there when iv thrown a dump out of the window, in fact he holds on to everything till we come across a bin.

Sigh ... I'm off to bed in a minute. But for the last time, given that you'd just that minute admitted to tossing your litter in the street, it was a fairly reasonable phrase for him to use. besides, no matter how upset you were, there was no call to go off on one like you did.
