"Addicted"

It blows my mind how many men (especially on the bus) have told me that they are clean now, just to step off the bus and light up a cigarette immediately.

today there was a man on the bus that needed to go to a particular shop.  I joked "normally i don't invite men to follow me, but you are more then welcome to follow me because i am going there!"  (i am a forever jokester and commonly get folks on the bus to laugh)

So, then he starts up with the smoker's hack.  i said "that is, you can walk with me as long as you don't light up"

The bottom line my dear readers is that he decided that his need for a ciggie was much greateer then his need for my help, and i couldn't get over that he was bragging about "i'm clean 5 yearz now"
