I think my worst moment with a analog was the time when I was driving down a busy stretch of road. I flipped the ash and popped it back in my mouth and kept driving, next thing I know I feel this intense heat. I take my eyes off the road and my shorts were smoking, burnt the piss outta my leg because It was either take a burn or wreck my car. I hate analogs.

I was out at a bar, and of course the object of my affections was there. I had a gorgeous low cut blouse with butterfly sleeves on. Everyone told me it looked great. Came home, passed out, and realized the next day that I had burnt a good 1/4 of the sleeve off. I had no idea!!!!!!!! Of course nobody even told me.

Was riding down the road with a buddy and proceeded to flip my almost done cig out the window (this was like 15 years ago) and realized right away it might not have made it out the window - couldn't find it, so I took my brand new nautica fleece off (to make sure it wasnt in my clothing) and threw it in the back seat. Thought it was not in the car until 5 minutes later when we smelled something burning. Apparently the cig landed in the back seat and I threw my fleece over it...So 3 burn holes in my friends car backseat and my new fleece burned up we found it...jeez - I felt so bad but my friend was cool about his car.

Glad to vape now, no risk of burns especially in the car when most of my accidents have happened plus I realize now how much I littered all those butts all those years.

My most embarrassing analog moment... there are just so many of them.

The funny ones all involve setting my hair on fire. I'm probably too old for it, but I usually have long hair because I'm too lazy to maintain a nice haircut for very long. Every once in a while, I'd end up going into the salon a for a bob or a shag (not the british sort of shag, the seventies hairstyle sort of shag) or something because I'd try to light my cigarette in the wind and burn one side a bit more than the other. In high school, I actually shaved half my head for this reason and called it new wave/punk/alternative.

The most humiliating ones aren't funny to me, but I'll share them in the interest of honesty.

Whenever my kids would walk up to me for a spontaneous hug or a kiss while I was smoking, I'd have to back away in horror so I wouldn't blow smoke on them, and it would hurt their feelings. When my oldest bought me a beautiful, expensive fluffy robe for x-mas, and I accidentally burned a nasty hole in it. When my youngest came home from school crying one day because someone had refused to sit by him on the bus, saying he smelled like cigarettes.

And then there was the last cig I had before finally deciding to get off this crazy train for good- I was on my way to the emergency room, doubled over in so much pain I could barely speak, and had to have one more cigarette before we got there. My face was almost in the ashtray, and I was blacking out, and my middle child held the cig for me so I could have just one more cigarette, because I knew I couldn't smoke in the hospital.

That was embarrassing.

Oh ohai, I'm sorry for those. I think we've all "been there" as far as realizing just how deeply addicted we are at some point. I had my grandmother who was dying of lung cancer grab my shirt as I bent to hug her and tell me she'd like just one more. Of course, I took regular smoke breaks while she died.

The car I drove in college had a pocket in the door, which I used as a garbage can, so it was full of papers and wrappers and such. One night, I went to a friend's dorm, and when I got out of the car, I opened the door, then flicked my analog on the ground, and went up to his room. We came back down about 15 minutes later to go somewhere and as we walked up to my car, we noticed that it was full of smoke. It turns out, I hadn't flicked my analog on the ground, I had flicked it into my little door garbage pouch and the papers inside it were on fire! My car smelled like an old fireplace for weeks. If we hadn't come back out so soon, it would have been a lot worse!

Something similar to yours comma, wind took the cigarette, it came right back into the truck through the little slide window on the back and landed in my purse, didn't notice till the smoke started rolling out of it as it smoldered on the notepad I had in there. Nothing worse than a purse filled with Mt. Dew! Luckily this was before my days of cell phones and ipods!

Aside from the occasional instance of lighting the wrong end (and other people laughing hysterically), my worst experience was when I borrowed my dad's car (the man is vehemently anti-smoking). I had it for a couple days and smoked maybe 4 cigarettes in it. Let the windows down, thought I got all the smoke out of it.

A couple weeks after I returned the car, he let me know that there was a burn mark in the backseat (floor or seat, I don't know, I didn't ask). My cherry had flown back in because I had ALL the windows down so the smoke wouldn't stick.

I dropped so many cigarettes in my lap it's not even funny. Scary when you're going 80mph on the highway, or in stop and go traffic. Bought an 08 Civic in 2007.. Didn't have it for very long, when I did the dropsie thing and burned a perfectly round hole in the front seat. So mad at myself for that!!

Nothing funny embarrassing. Just embarrassing embarrassing!

I got red hot ashes in my eye drivin down the highway before, couldnt open my eyes i stoped right in the lane on the highway for like 20 min. Till i cried out all the ashes and was able to see again

Jesus that hurts like nothing else. It's like the worlds largest grains of sand, sharpened and superheated grinding away under your eyelid. It's definitely a game ender.
It could even be a finishing move in Mortal Kombat it's so effective...
"FINISH HIM"
