White Lighter? Bad Luck?

[jordan65]

i always get green, i had a brown one about 5 years ago, people were amazed by it, ive never seen another one like it since

I did have a white lighter but does it count if you rip of the design on the lighter because if you buy those BIC lights some of them well I should say most of them have a design on them but really it is almost like a plastic sticker. When you rip it off under neath the lighter is white. So does it count or no.

That is untrue...that makes it even worse!!! It's like having almost a completely black cat with a little patch of white and spray painting it so it's all black lol.

Clear bic lighter .. hmm that's interesting. I guess bic occasionally makes limited edition rare kinds or something.

I just bought this totally ballin pink bic that says 'flick my bic' but then I lost it the next day..

I also go with the white lighter = bad karma thing. It always does. When my parents used to find my lighters and keep them, they were white. When I got run over by a car, I was lighting a cigarette with a white bic lighter.(this might not have been the lighter, but the fact that lighting a cigarette in the middle of the street at night is a bad idea)

Last weekend me and a friend were making a drive to get a brick of some mids out of state. on the way back we stopped for munchies and gas. I'm in the car waiting, when my friend(Who is a leftie...) comes out of the store with a big bag of goodies and a white lighter. When he got in the car, I put a cigarette in my mouth and asked for his lighter, when I got it I lit up and threw it out the window into a ditch. then he just yells out "WHAT THE FUCK I JUST BOUGHT THAT FUCKING THING!" I just said to him "so fucking what, Its white, and we have a big bag of weed in the trunk."

I just found this on Urban Dictionary...

The real history to the white lighter myth and why they are unlucky is based on four famous and revolutionary musicians of the second half of the 20th century. Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrex, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain were all left-handed, all died at the age of 27, and all their autopsies reported that a white bic lighter was found in their pockets. This is why it is said that white lighters are unlucky. So if you are 27 and left-handed, don’t use a white bic lighter, you will die.


I had a white bic once, and I got caught smoking by the po po while I was using it...I don't buy them anymore. lol

lol nice, i once had a lighter bitch slapped away from me..
thx 2 u, i now know why

its yellow lighters that are bad luck! everyone around here knows that.
The myth actually started in the 1990's , it was spawned off the TV show cops! believe it or not. haha.
i guess a number of people noticed how everyone getting busted had yellow lighters.
i personally believe it to some extent for whatever reason, but ive definitly gotten over the fear of smoking with one.

yellow lighters are bad news in Alaska, espcially with fishermen. There have been tons of stories of fishermen dieing and being found with yellow lighters on them... i have a white lighter i named "leo". i'm sure someone on here will understand why, but it only works on cigs, won't light a bowl or a fire! lol

 

[misshestermoffitt]

My son insists that red lighters are bad luck. So I always buy a red lighter, it's good luck for me, he won't steal it.

 

[THCthrumyveins]

I got arrested with a qtr of bud on me by a K9-Unit and we were using a white lighter. They're awful. And I always refuse to use them. The other night I had to at a party because it was the only one to light the bowl and I was already really drunk, I ended up throwing up later that night, all the next morning and had to call out of work I was so hung over. White lighters suck. Haha

Yea its a tradition, white lighter are bad, same thing with red ones, i hate em both, if you dont believe it then go buy a white Bic and see what happends

 

[misshestermoffitt]

I scoffed at the white lighter thing then later than same day:

We had to go 30 miles a way for a work related fingerprinting. The place only does it once a week between certain hours. We get there, it is a 2 fucking hour wait. WTF? Sign up and decide we'll just run to LJS and get some chicken planks and waste time.

We get to LJS (Long John Silvers) and they're fucking closed because of a batter maker "equiptment failure". What the hell is that about? People have been cooking food long before there was equiptment.

On the way back to fingerprinting hell, my daughter (20) is digging through her purse for her lighter and pulls it out. That motherfucker was white. We had just read this "white lighter" thread.

I vote yes, those white lighters are shit luck!

 

[SEF]

I consider green and purple lighters to be the luckiest for me. I've never gotten caught when I had one. But blue lighters on the other hand....

 

[tania22]

Here in New Zealand, when you buy a two pack of bic lighters, they ALWAYS come with one coloured lighter and one white lighter

so all the 27 year old leftys who buy a twin pack of lighters are going to die...?

 

["SICC"]

haha its when you carry it with you, next time you get ur twin pacc, use thw white one for a while and see what happends, trust me there evil, i told my friend at work it was bad lucc and on all of our breaks we saw a cop pass by when we would smoke, like after the second cop the threw it out the window haha

 

[toke4smoke]

yeah i was at a party and i was lighting a cig with a yellow lighter and this guy took it and thru it out side... and said it was bad luck lol

 

[arb254]

while reading this thread and enjoying a bowl, i just came to realize i was using a white lighter ha, my friend is always bitching about white lighters but who knows.

 

[omegagodly]
