Topic: Just a question-- | |
---|---|
I'm just wondering what you all think of this. I am on a fixed income, I do smoke, but I can only get enough of them for me to get through a month. That is usually 3 cartons for me. My question is, my neighbor who I don't know that well begs me for a pack when she has none, I gave her one once, now she makes it a habit, is it wrong for me to say I don't have any??

I would just tell her the truth. Giving them to her may have given her the impression that you have a cigarette tree in your back yard. Let her know that you just can't continue to do so anymore.

Next time she asks, punch her in the face. Shell catch on.

Next time she asks, punch her in the face. Shell catch on. how did you know her name was shell she never said a name? That makes me sound like a caveman (as far as speech is concerned). Lets say her name was Lisa, then according to you it would have been, "Next time she asks, punch her in the face. Lisa catch on." |

Point her towards the tobacco shop, and say, "My pal, who lives in Alaska, rolls his own with good quality tobacco. It costs him about $7 per week, so get smart. Stop throwing away rent and car payments on premade camel dung cigs. Buy some real nice present for yourself, at Christmas, with what you save in just six weeks."

Let's see here...10 packs to a carton...and you need 3 cartons a month to "survive" on a limited income? That equates to at least a pack a day, right?
Yup, I'm a non-smoker...and not a vigilante for non-smoking, but holy SMOKES, that sounds excessive to me, especially on a fixed income. I say quit smoking, and it would likely cure a lot of your problems, including the grubby neighbor who wants to bum off of you. |
