Took the car into the dealership in Big D this morning to get it`s 7K checkup , etc.
I stepped outside, under the covered entranceway to the service area to have a smoke. Just before I fired up the ole Zippo to get my seven second jolt I happened to look to my left for some reason. About 15 yards upwind of me stood the poster child for Yup magazine yapping away on the cellie looking my direction. When I flipped the the lid a total look of horror came over his face. He attempted to run to make his escape from this horrible, fire breathing creature, but Ooooooopsie........he misnavigated the curb and face planted.
I couldn`t help it..........I cracked up like a hyena on crack.

The Goober is standing next to about ten or eleven idling cars. In the distance you can see the beautiful , smog infested skyline and a few stacks spewing God only knows what and the moron is concerned about a cig being lit downwind of him.

Proof that second hand smoke is hazardous to one's health.

I would have lit another one and asked if he wanted it.

LOL

A while ago I had lit a cig and was smoking it on my bike on the way home. I exhaled just as a girl on a bike pulled up to my left and the smoke went into her face. She began to fake splutter and frantically waved her hand in front of her face to clear the air.

Then the light went green and she took off trying to get away from this dreadful fire breather. I don't know what was wrong with her bike but smoke absolutely BILLOWED out of her exhaust and the whole road behind her became and continued to be an oily smoke screen as she zoomed off.

She pulled off to the right to park and have a drink (I assume) in a bar up the street. As I went past her I gave her a look very similar to the one she gave me and I waved my hand frantically in front of my face as I went by.

So, it didn't occur to you to check downwind before the cancer celebration? Your cone of awareness doesn't extend 3ft beyond your face? huh, ok.

I would have apologised but she took off and coated me in smoke and soot from her oily exhaust.

I doubt she even considered an apology was warrented and probably went all MrFish about it with her friends in the bar.

Why should he have to check downwind?

The non-smokers have been the minority for a while, but now the tide is turning and we all know that as a minority, our rights will be thrust upon those majority in the interest of our civil rights....beat that yuppies!

_______edit

Ok, so that was a slight hijack, sorry. the story was rather humorous till Oct showed up with his moral righteousness.

common courtesy perhaps? why should i move for an action you decided to take? I'm annoyed by cig smoke on the interstate from the car in front of me, you think I can't smell that crap 15 yards away? Accidents I can understand, but oblivious bastards that knowingly blow smoke at me are *******s, nothing more.

I think he was saying that the guy was going crazy over a cigarette while he was standing next to several idling cars releasing hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, etc.

Yep.

P.S. Reminds me of how PETA kills animals so other people can't harm them.

Tough.
Inside thats one thing. I can buy the arguement
Outside, well thats just too damn bad
Hold yer breath.

How about recognisng that outside it is a free realm. And expressing some common courtesy yourself
You probably stand a far greater risk just from beathing pollutants in the air from cars,factories etc then the little bit of smoke you might be inconvenienced by and would be whining about.
