The lamentations, wailing and gnashing of teeth here is music unto my ears. There are so many rude smokers that this is just payback for their uncivilized behavior.
Case in point. I was at a PGA golf tournament about a month ago. The place was packed... 4-to-ten people deep, all around the 1st tee box. Most people would watch the pro’s tee off and then if it was someone they wanted to follow, walk along the fairways with them to the first hole and so on. Or they would stay put. 300-500 people perhaps... all pressed against the ropes, shoulder to shoulder, enjoying the art of the golfers. Across the tee box, I see a thick gray-blue cloud of smoke, as some jerk lights up a cigar. But it really wasn’t the smoke I saw first, it was the movement of the crowd as they shuffled out of the cloud and muttered to him to put it out, or move away, or whatever, I couldn’t hear. But apparently he ignored them ‘cause next I saw a golf marshal, really a volunteer I’m guessing, but he had a uniform on, say something to the guy. Stoggie smoker didn’t put the cigar out, he just moved well back and then followed the next pro up the fairway.
I enjoy the sweet, pungent smell of a good cigar, so it wasn’t the smell and I was too far away to smell it anyway...It was the rude, uncouth behavior of someone to light up in a crowd, outdoors or not.
So to the rude smokers out there. Payback is a b!tch.
When are you going to start acting like an adult? Get some class already.
If there is anyone who is rude, it is you. You — with your posting of insulting pics and comments to your fellow Freepers. Classless. Grow up already or leave. You owe a lot of people here an apology, and I expect will be waiting forever, huh?
