Typical. The smokers in my office huddle around the front door so that I can't get into the office without wading through the smoke. Still, I am bad for not liking the smoke and I am supposed to find a way to stay away from them.
They huddle around the front door because they've been kicked out of the building.
Would you prefer them to stand in the middle of the street then?
Sheesh. You'll never satisfy a anti-smoker.
If the smokers were allowed to smoke in their offices, or at least in a "lounge" you wouldn't have that problem, would you?
And WHY do they huddle around that front door?
Because they have been ejected from the building on the basis of junk science and scare tactics used by the anti-smokers. They can't even have a seperate room with a seperate ventilation system!
Maybe if they hadn't been FORCED out of the building you'd be able to walk in the front door without walking through their smoke.
Are you saying they do this on purpose? I don't know how long your front door entrance is, but holding your breath for 4-5 steps isn't impossible. Maybe find a non-smoker friendly employer. I'm not trying to be an ass, but think about it. Since only you know what you don't like, why is it their responsibility to stay away from you? I can't stand the smell of some perfumes and colognes, but I would never expect the carriers of these smells to stay out of my way. It's much more effective for me to avoid them.
Your dislike of cigarette smoke doesn't make you a bad person at all. But trying to control the atmosphere of everywhere you decide to go isn't practical.
We used to have a separate room or smoking lounge while at work. Blame the smokers huddling outside the door on the anti-smokers. Remember the day at work when you never saw a smoker? We had our own warm room indoors.
Smokers huddled outside are just as miserable as you. It isn't the fault of the smokers.
The amokers are hanging around the front door?
Why?
