Last night I went down the 7/11 to bet a loaf of bread and some peanut butter cups*, and there's this kid in line in front of me, whinging at length because the clerk wouldn't sell him a pack of cigarettes. "This is ********, I'm going to ****ing boot camp next camp next month and I can't even buy myself a pack of ****ing cigarettes?"
My first thought was, "Good luck in ****ing boot camp, kid, maybe the military can make you into less of a ****ing crybaby."
And understand, I'm not here to pick on smokers - I have my own health-threatening habits (although I've never had anyone complain about "second-hand peanut butter cup"), so I'm not trying to be "Mr. Healthier-Than-Thou" It was more the fact that he was throwing a hissy-fit like a five year-old who didn't get a cookie that bugged me.
*No, I didn't make a peanut butter cup sandwich, although that is an interesting idea....

Now, if you were happy that the fires happened so that you could make that joke, that would be another story...
