It pisses me off when I see people do that. Even when I smoked I kept one of those $4 butt cups in my cupholder. If you're too cheap for that, just use a pop can. Seriously. Drives me crazy. Last spring I was driving toward Bragg Creek, and after the non winter we had, it bush was tinder dry. The guy in front of me flicked his butt out the window. Just absolutely mind-numbingly stupid. I wanted to call the RCMP, but I doubted they'd do anything about it, so I just hated him from my truck.

There was a video on Twitter I believe of some guy throwing out a lit cigarette butt out of their pick up truck, while they were evacuating from Fort McMurray and at a safer location...
Cigarette butts was found to be the cause of the Lac La Biche fires, and the cause of 4 houses burning down in Fort McMurray last year.
