Driven To Distraction
So my brother goes to pick up his new company car and by new I mean so new that there's still plastic covers on all the seats and a grand total of 17 miles on the clock. No sooner has he started driving it home then he lights up a cigarette in celebration. When he's finished he presses the button to make the window go down, flicks the smouldering butt out and continues on his way. Or, as actually happened, he presses the button that would have made the window go down in his old car (but in this one puts down the passenger side window), flicks his cigarette without looking so it rebounds off the glass, flies into the back and sets fire to the plastic covering the seats.

Within ten minutes of picking up his brand new car he's screaching to a halt on the hard shoulder of a motorway with flames billowing from the back and screaming swearwords. It's at this moment he remembers the smoking ban made it illegal to smoke in company cars.

Apparently his manager couldn't stop laughing at him for long enough to even tell him off.
