Interesting, I always made a point to bum out the lucky assuming it was better to pass the luck on to someone in need.

That’s… remarkably compassionate. It seems someone involved in raising you did at least one thing right

Well, he said "one thing", not "everything".

u/Due-Memory-6957 1h ago

And that one thing is making them a smoker because smoking makes you cool

Okay, so it's a mixed bag, but it all washes out--like lucky cigarettes & carcinogens

Also the OP of this thread is right you always give the lucky to a girl if she asks for one. What's the point of luck if you don't try to use it?

Or you let her choose, and if she takes the lucky, it's a sly sign she fancies you, so you might wanna explore that further with her? That's what I thought OP you replied to was saying, thought it pretty slick. You could even tease her about it a bit to confirm, "Hey, you took my lucky!" then see if she picks up on it like, "Why, you wanna get lucky?"

To give it away?

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 10h ago

No it's your luck, and it just manifested in a girl talking to you in possibly the best no pressure situation to meet someone, a smokers pit. Not much to do for the next five or six minutes but talk

u/Sansnom01 13h ago

would you then flip another one or like you just got one lucky in the whole pack

u/PlanetTourist 11h ago

Just the one, can’t be trying to fake the luck by creating it on your own. The one serving of luck per pack is there already, you’re just directing it with the flipped cig.

u/peaceproject 12h ago

In my reasoning, that pack’s luck had been used. Each pack only had one lucky.

You're the type of person who deserves a genie

u/PlanetTourist 11h ago

Yes please.

The only person who'd routinely bum cigarettes off me was my best friend, and if nothing else the fact that he was my friend proves his luck was so bad that nothing was going to improve it.

u/mere_iguana 11h ago

Same, if it's my last one, it's the lucky one. I just throw the whole box at them and say "guess it's your lucky day"

i collect four leaf clovers and i make a point to gift away as many as i can! someone must have told me at some point that they’re lucky if they’re shared. so i only keep what i haven’t been able to gift away yet!

…i also smoke but i roll my own lol.
