For me it's driving while under the influence. If you couldn't tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I simply can't fathom. I've only operated a vehicle once under the influence and it was just to move a U-Haul around the block to a different parking spot, which was such a scary experience while high that I refuse to even consider getting behind the wheel again while high.

I used to play on an outdoor field over a decade ago and still have a vivid memory of this one guy in particular. I distinctly remember that he had multicam EVERYTHING: full MC clothing, a MC helmet, even a MC wrapped Systema. But the cherry on top was a green laser that stayed on 100% of the time. You could see the fucker coming from a mile away.

He was also a douchenozzle

Airsoft runs on the honor system, and you're relying on the honor of sometimes maladjusted teenagers with access to their parents' credit cards. (Not all teens, and sometimes the older players are problems, but to be real 8 out of 10 times, it's a "that guy" teen causing problems.)

With my 3-power optic I get to see great views of BBs just bouncing off people who are invincible to them.
