My neighbor makes bonfires all the time. He spends all day walking around the streets picking up garbage, then at night he piles it up, sets it on fire and stares at it for hours. The smoke spreads all over the street and triggers my bronchitis.
What I mean to say is, he's an asshole. Also probably clinically insane.
Don't make bonfires in a goddamn backyard, the smoke isn't restricted to your property.
