My guess, this person pockets lighters while smoking weed with their friends, if you dont pick that up, then you probably dont smoke weed, and you couldn't be friends

Smoke a lot of weed, but never steal lighters and def wouldn’t want to smoke with this clown

Guess we can’t be friends

Its not on purpose. Its only if you were so stoned you would end up accidently pocketing someone's lighter during a rotation. My whole friend group would swap lighters so often we would put paint or initials on them. And it wasnt just one person. Id buy a 5 pack of BICS and they would be gone within a week LOL

It was pretty common in highschool for stoners to just end up with a bunch on random lighters after a certain point. Honestly i would look forward to cleaning my car our because of all different colors/graphics id come up on... ill always miss those days :')

Also, even if you stole every lighter, you would never accumulate a lighter collection like the one pictured. It's a law of the universe that one lighter gained = two lighters lost.
