I hate it when that happens.
I have thrown a lit cigarette out of the window on the freeway, only to have it boomerang and fly onto my new shirt.
My friend said ‘Serves you right for littering!”
My brother and a friend (back in the 70’s) used to cruise around in his Dart Sport and for kicks throw the occasional fire cracker out the window.
One night it didn’t quite make it out the window. Funny to watch them pull over and get out and walk around until their ears quit ringing.
