I hate smokers who think it's their god given right to throw their fag butts on to the floor! A couple of lads moved into the rented flat above us 6 months or so ago and I'm fairly sure it's them (never actually seen them do it) who have been leaving their fag ends on the path/throwing them out their window into our garden

It just really really ****** me off, I don't throw my rubbish out in front of your front door.

I'm not one for confrontations so not too keen to go up there accusing them. I could email the landlord but that would be like being back in school.

Hmmmpf, I think I need some lessons in assertiveness :p
 
Wait until you have evidence, then go and confront them about it, mentioning you don't want their fag ends in your garden.

Be sure to take your keyboard incase plan A fails.
 
My ex's friends/family and ex all throw tab ends all over the garden where my kids have to play, it looks disgusting and hacks me right off, I sweep the dam things up every time I see them, its only the smallest thing I do to keep the yard right for my kids but its the bit I hate, I even put a bucket out with sand for them to throw them in once and they just ignored it.

Its litter, and its obnoxious.
 
Ask any smoker and they will always swear blind that they never "chuck their butts", strange how the floor is littered with them!

As a backup argument they will then site the amount of "other" litter everywhere and how considering the amount of TAX they pay we shouldn't be bothered.

In general it's a filthy habit carried out by people that just don't give a stuff, it's their god given right to smoke, the litter is just a by-product!

HEADRAT
 
Put a sign up pointing out that ciggie butts are litter, and requesting they dispose of them appropriately and not in the downstairs garden.

:)
 
I smoke and have been in this situation before, theres no reason whatsoever they can't have a ashtray fill it up then bin it, email the landlord straight away tbh, ask him for his advice on what to do about it.
 
Just knock on the door and say,

You: I wanna ask you a question. When you came pullin' in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Fag Storage"?

Them: No.

You (louder): Did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Fag Storage"?!

Them: No, I didn't.

You: You know why you didn't see that sign?

Them: Why?

You: 'Cause it ain't there, 'cause storing dead fags ain't my ****ing business, that's why!
 
Collect them all in a bucket then when you got a fair few tip them through their letterbox. Make sure you get a lot of grass, leaves and soil in there too so it makes a mess.

If a lot are being thrown out it cannot possibly be passers by and must be the tennants above.
 
I'm a smoker but would never think of doing something like that, it's disgusting. I can't see them taking offence if you point out to them politely what they are doing, maybe they are so used to doing similar where they last lived they don't see the harm in it. If I am asked to move away or put out a ciggie in a polite manner I always do so. :)

It would be so funny to see their face if that was done.
 
I had an identical problem when I was in my old flat. Couldn't stand it, was only me in my flat and I smoke(d), even then. I never, NEVER chucked fag ends out the window, its simply revolting! I went to the students above me, mentioned it, had a few beers with them and turned out they were really nice! They were genuinly sorry for it and even bought some ashtrays that day. Although there excuse was "we don't have money to spend on ashtrays" lol

Never had a prob after simply asking "guys, couldn't get an ashtray please, fag buts all over my lawn and washing..."

You're lucky it's only fag butts being thrown out...

I have a ground floor flat and there was a guy above me who used to puke off his balcony most weekends, which would land right outside my ******* bedroom window!!!

Needless to say I ended up having a "quiet word" with him ;)

He moved out soon after, thank ****.
 
Are they throwing them out the window or smoking outside? If they throw them out the window, wait until they open thier window to do it then hose them with water saying you thought that there was a fire inside!

If they are just smoking outside or depositing thier butts before they come in then place a red bucket there - they should take the hint!
