This was a post from the Smoking Ladies board a few years back but to spark conversation, let's give it a go here, shall we?
My most embarassing moment as a smoker came in my Jr. year at UCF. I was stopped at a red light in Orlando in my old worn out Toyota Celica. While I was waiting out the light, a yellow jacket flew into the window, buzzed around my head and promptly went straight down the inside front of my blouse.
In my panic to free myself of the seatbelt and get rid of the offending insect, i knocked the fire off the end of my cigarette, which then fell directly into my lap.
Now I'm getting simultaneously burned to a crisp and stung by a yellow jacket. While I was thrashing around, my foot slipped off the clutch and the car lurched forward, ramming a Ford pickup squarely in the rear. Of all the people to ram, the guy driving the truck just had to be an off-duty cop.
The truck didnt even suffer a scratch as the trailer hitch took most of the lick, but my old Corolla didnt fair quite as well.
The guy was so sweet about the whole incident and eventually laughed about it. After we exchanged insurance and License info, he scratched his head and said, "Don't worry about it."
I cried then but now looking back, I guess it was hilarious.
