Smoking anything is bad for your health in many more ways than just lung-related.

Set up gps in offline mode ahead of time so you don't need cell service for it to be functional

There are still decent humans on the planet (that truck driver could have shot you and pressed charges, but he helped you instead)

Pizza place wouldn't fire you for this. Your job literally brings them an income.

Thanks for the great story!
