I lost it today

[bakerbarber]

I had a long day. I woke up at 2am and couldn't get back to sleep.

I had some errands to run so gave up trying to sleep more at 6am. I ran some errands around 9am. Then my cell phone blew up. Hour and a half and I squashed every problem.

Time for yard work. Mowed my lawn did trimming. The wife was out shopping with a gang of other females. "no thanks I'll have lunch at home you go ahead" :wink:

Then I couldn't get out of going to dinner at her family's house. Right after eating I realized I had done the unthinkable. I forgot my snus.....

After three hours of "visiting" I had had enough. We still have 45 minute ride home.

I snapped. I had the worst nic fit of my life. Between being exhausted from lack of sleep and being at my breaking point with friendly banter with the in-laws I threw a little hissy fit about leaving any 6 year old worth his salt would be proud of.

Luckily the Mrs. had a can of dip in her purse left over from a previous trip. I dumped out my water bottle to use as a spitter and managed to make it home to my snus stash without running any red lights or running anyone off the road.

I haven't had a cigarette in weeks and I nearly broke down today without my Swedish medicine.

Do not forget your snus.

Oh I feel ya man. I purposely keep a stash of Oomph snus hidden away in my vehicle and since it's a dry snus, it won't go bad (I hope :P).

I have some serious snus anxiety if I don't have a tin right by me at all times :P

Glad no one was hurt!

Great story. You need to add a can of snus to your First Aid kit.

Do not forget your snus.

Amen!

I keep a tin of American snuff in my Jeep for just that kind of emergency. As near as I can tell, heat, and bad conditions don't affect it at all. It isn't snus, but it'll keep you going in a pinch(HAHAHA :^P)

A lesson to us all NEVER forget your snus.

[dEFinitionofEPIC]

An addedum to this rule: Don't forget your snus AND make sure you have enough for the length of time you will be away from your stash...

I learned my lesson the hard way this week. On the way out the door in the morning I grabbed my can out of the fridge like always...

Got to work, opened up my can of delicious Roda Lackett and realized that I only had ONE snus left.

To summarize, I had to go about eight hours without Vitamin N. It SUCKED to say the least.... wasn't very productive that day.

Learn from me kids... you don't want to suffer from this oversight...

[sagedil]

The few times I have ever been in that situation, and couldn't get to snus, I just bought a pack of cigarettes. I still have one occasionally, and they do work at getting me my Vitamin N.

The worst I get out of tat solution?? I vow not to forget my snus again. :wink:

Well, if one was dead set to not smoke, but had access to some store, one could break down and get some Camel, or better yet, some Tourney maybe, or even better, some Triumph. Maybe if desparation called so high, you could stick a Skoal Bandit under your top lip.

[sagedil]

I think I will just have a cigarette thank you very much. :lol: :lol:

[heppycat]

The longer I go without a cigarette, the worse they taste each time. I'd rather buy a tin of some American snuff than a pack of smokes any day.

Amen!

[chossy]

That has happened to me too, I know how you feel.

It pains me every time when im on the road and forgot my sweet Level or LD and have to pull into a gas station and buy and expensive General or Grov. The dollars I tell you...

[gitchel]

I got a pack of free General Samples from one of my orders on getsnus.com. Well, I already know what general tastes like - I have 20 cans in the freezer - so, I carry them with me in my Fossil Man Purse :-)

I figure they must be vacuum-packed or something, or sealed up pretty good at any rate, so they'll last forever. Besides, if I find myself sans can and frantic, it wouldn't matter if they are a bit stale. Plus, I think a few of them are flavored, so any staleness would be covered pretty well.

Tasty, easy to carry, and reliable. I'm covered.

Biggest danger is forgetting they're hidden away in there :-/
