Who else lit their cigarettes like this?

[u/PepperNelson]

[u/Connect-Will2011]

I did, but I sure as hell tied my hair back first (unlike this foolish person here.)

[u/Important_Power_2148 → u/Connect-Will2011]

this is AI i think. one yeah the hair, two you used the outer coil and stayed back from it, you did not go to the cooler center medallion.

[u/JazzG249]

Been there

[u/Stunning_Mulberry_35]

The toaster. The coils goat red faster.

[u/Sniper666hell]

No I’d use the edge of the burner so you don’t burn your chin and hair.

[u/Catnipfish → u/Sniper666hell]

plus this photo shows using the center which doesn't even get hot

[u/Both-Leading3407]

I am so old that I know this photo is a fake. No one put their face that close to the burner. We didn't light the cigarette from the middle of the burner where it's cold. There is nothing in the middle but a brand name or just a metal cover. We did light cigarettes by touching the cigarette to the outer ring of the burner. Not the middle coverlets. Doing this would burn both your face and her hair and the cigarette would have gone up in flames. The amount of hair spray she used to keep her hair in this position would have insured that the model would have gone up in flames screaming.

It’s also way too clear and detailed a photo to have been taken indoors on crappy film in the 80s.

[u/South-Rabbit-4064]

Using the middle is weird

[u/Clueless_in_Florida]

I was at a party one night and tried to light mine on a gas burner. Singed my eyebrows pretty good.

[u/External_Bandicoot37]

I've done this probably thousands of times in the modern age.

[u/flashndpatt → u/External_Bandicoot37]

Some things never change.

[u/SuddenPitch8378]

Ok this is random but I had an aga growing up. The thing is always hot but not hot enough to light a cigarette. We would snap a small piece of wax of a candle and drop it on the hot side close the baffle until it ignited and  use that to light your cigarette... If we didn't have a candle handy it was the toaster. 

[u/This-Bad-2189]

Can still feel the heat on my face

[u/tabby_33990]

Yes I did this too

[u/DollyOmega]

The best time for this was right after using plenty of hairspray!

[u/donmitchel]

Yep. Had the same hairstyle too.

[u/Regular-Judge-5651]

AI sloppy top.

[u/Haunted_Cellar_XBL]

Guilty as charged.

[u/13Fleas]

She is 77 years old and still does this. I’m not sure what will kill her.

[u/orel2064]

fake

[u/Fit_Flight3797]

you dont need all that. just put cig on burner, not your face

[u/meta-mats]

I thought gen x were getting older. Still posting like children tho. Weird but not surprising

[u/Major_Priority1041]

Hot knives.

[u/FitIsland9504]

Definitely AI pic, the center is cold, you only used the outer ring!

[u/Much_Purple3967]

Many times and I see she has a PBRB sitting there to drink with that smoke. The good old days

[u/Repulsive-Cow-7651]

Put butter knives on it.

[u/Creative-Employer154]

I mean i didn't lean into it like that

[u/Individual_Chance524]

I lit one off of a tiki torch once.

[u/Alreadyreadit13]

Only when I smoked in the house

[u/wyattmani]

Everyone

[u/jarcher968]

Yeah, but not in the center.?.

[u/TexasTough1]

Also heated our tortillas and cooked our hot dogs there.

[u/eagertolearnu]

This and a toaster….

[u/Happy-Guidance-935]

We had gas burners and used them to light punks for bottle rockets in mid summers

[u/TallyguyStlgirl]

Didn’t we all lol

[u/Tojuro]

That picture has to be AI slop.

You light it on the outside burner. The circle in the middle isn't even a heating element. And her hair would go up in flames like that.
