Are smokers genetically predisposed to being an asshat?

Pelvis

So, sitting outside a londis having a late lunch, a large selection of tables available over a large area, when someone decides a meter away from me is the perfect place to smoke their cigarette.

Like, seriously, are smokers just totally oblivious to just how disgusting the habit is? It doesn't occur to someone that perhaps the person they've decided to stand next to, who is having their lunch, doesn't want to breath in their second hand smoke?

And of course, when they're done, the butt goes on the ground. Which bizarrely, seems be a mandatory act for smokers. Should be a minimum €1000 fine for this carry on for a start. Scum.

Rant over.

They wouldn't do it if they knew how disgusting it is or more likely they sjmply don't care

dont bother

jaysus OP you obviously havent much to worry about.
you sound like a SJW with that type of OTT reaction to a bit of smoke coming your way OUTDOORS.

sure some people dont like hearing the horrible sound of some yoke eating up a big mayonaissey sandwich in their faces either. why would anyone ever sit outside a LONDIS to eat lunch - it's hardly the type of place you can expect a "high caliber" of clientele now is it?

do you regularly go around looking for trouble, or just with smokers?

:rolleyes:

Generally the other way round tbh

It says "Smoking Kills" and has pictures of the medical horrors of smoking on the packaging. They can see the money draining from their bank account - how much will a pack go up in the in next budget? For decades there have been anti smoking adverts and we all know people have died of lung cancer or are wheezing their way to an early grave.

Anyone who smokes is a moron and they deserve their horrible death.

They have no excuse.

No pity or sympathy for anyone who smokes.

You think I'm an "SJW". Holy sh1t.Besides. you started it.

I dunno about any of that but anytime I see a 10 lighting up a smoke she instantly becomes a 2. It's the biggest turn off for me.

Not nearly as big an asshat as people that start a sentence with "like".

Seems like someone needs a nicotine hit.

I bet they looked cool though :pac:


But seriously, people smoking around me is not a bother. It wasn't too long ago where the smoking ban didn't exist and we freely went into places with people smoking freely.

I think most smokers realise how horrible their addiction is, the harm it causes them and others, and that there's nothing as disgusting as a fag butt on a pavement. Such is addiction.

Arseholes rarely realise that they are arseholes though.

I get people not liking smoking and not wanting to be disturbed by the smoke... but apart from that who cares if they smoke? It's their business.

I did, might relax you a bit. You seem highly strung with your aggression and name calling. Either that or heroin.

Do not discriminate against me just because of the colour of my lungs.

I have to agree about the lack of consideration from many smokers out in public. Particularly at bus stops when you're queued up and have no option but to stay put. Face full of smoke.

Just when I thought we had hats for everything that needed a hat...

Feck sake, they are outside where they are allowed to smoke. Stop moaning about it and if you dont like it then go inside where they cant be anywhere near you.
