mate of my ex
i always wondered why he wouldn't let us empty ashtrays into the metal wastebasket in the living room, instead taking them into the kitchen to empty himself.
that is, until the day he asked me to pass him a hammer out of the cupboard. i opened the cupboard door and got a massive waft of ashtray smell.
"bloody hell! this cupboard reeks! what have you got in here?" i asked.
"oh, that's my emergency supply" he replied.
turns out he'd been collecting everyone's fag ends and keeping them in a laundry tablet box to recycle into rollies when he ran out of smokes.
thrifty maybe, but still, ew.

I didn't actively save them but I've gone raking when I was pissed and the shops were shut.
And if you tell the youth of today this, they'll call you a fucking pikey.

I'm 38, and I'll call you a fucking pikey, too.

It's a bit rougher but if I was resorting to that I was usually too pissed to care.
