Why do you do with rude people like this?

Was at the bar counter in a pub. This guy sitting 2 chairs away wanted to light up his cigarette but did not have lighter. I kindly lent my lighter to him. He did not bother to thank me, lighted up his cigarette and kept the lighter with him and never bothered to return lighter. I asked for lighter back and he pass it back to me without even apologising.
No, Jim. Pub is general sense of the word as in a watering hole, bar, 19th hole. No we did not smoke in British pub

When he gave the lighter back without saying anything, I would’ve said "You’re welcome!" and then not given him another thought because rude people don’t deserve any of my energy being wasted on them!

Murder him?

There’s not much you can do. Some people just have no manners. I guess you can hope that one day his bad manners will get him in to trouble but it’s best to just forget about him. More decent people than him will appreciate your courtesy.

Ignore him. Maybe he was just in a bad mood at that time?

Your use of the word "pub" indicates this is a British post.
Smoking in pubs has been illegal for around two years now

He might have been drunk and clueless – either way forget it and move on

Not worth worrying about in my opinion. Yes he was rather rude not saying thank you but to me it sounds like he was lost in thought or perhaps drunk and wasn’t thinking clearly. Either way some people just lack common courtesy.

People have this thing with lighters…in future don’t hand someone your lighter..you light their smoke for them and if someone doesn’t say thank you for something that you do then you say "you’re welcome" in a really sarcastic voice…where do you live for people to be allowed to smoke in pubs?

I would have said "you’re welcome", rather loudly as I took my lighter back.
That makes them say thank you every time!

Edit: Heh, can you tell {{{Lady of the Lake}}} and I are related?

A Word About Choosing Bar Stools

Finding and choosing the right kind of Bar Stools or counter stools for your bar, home or your kitchen is an important part choice, as many different sizes, materials, finishes and colors.
First of all, decide if you are choosing Counter Stools or Bar Stools, as they are somewhat different. Bar stools are usually a little taller, by around 4 inches. A good measurement to consider is to make sure that the stool's cushion or seat is about 10 to 12 inches from the underside of the bar or counter. That way, you know that you and your guests will be seated comfortably and have suitable leg room while seated.
Sometimes you may want to go with backless stools, if you don't have a lot of space or room. They have no backs or arms and so they are easier to move around.
Another important consideration is choosing the right height of the foot rests of your bar stools. If you don't get the right foot rest heights ahead of time, you may not be getting the right stools and people will not be very comfortable or have proper leg room while sitting at your home bar.
Of course, seating comfortably will be different for everyone, but if you sit and see the foot rest height is good for you, it will probably do for most. Unless you are getting custom bar stools made for you, you have to get them with the foot rests as they are.
Take your measurements with you when you go shopping and know the heights of the counter or bar surface and underside and ask for help from the salesperson if you are not sure of what sizes to get.
If you purchase adjustable barstools, where you can raise or lower the height of the stool itself, then it's easier to allow the user to adjust to find the right height for the most comfort while sitting. This is ideal if you want to use the stools for different places in your home, from the kitchen counter to the home bar or a kitchen island, for example. Most brands and makers of kitchen and bar stools that are adjustable allow about 10 to 15 inches, which can accommodate almost anyone.
