pet peeve

I hope I don't scandalize anyone here, but I noticed today that I get really irritated by pedestrians who hold their lighted cigarettes out to the side. It makes it very difficult to walk by them without getting a lungful of the stuff. (No thanks.) And sometimes I find myself in their shadow for an entire block! (I'm a fast walker, but there are lots of us. One time I was trying to get by someone and I almost tripped a bishop!)

"(I'm a fast walker, but there are lots of us. One time I was trying to get by someone and I almost tripped a bishop!)" Oh no!!!! I am to a fst walker and get critized for it but with only 5 minutes to get to class in 4 yrs being a fast walker pays off. As for being among smokers, I know how it is, my dad's side is a difinate on smoking. They tend to smoke together in thesame room and of course we try to stay away from it but it is rather hard to do so. but it really doesnt bother me, its what tey chose to do and i cant do anything or say anything about it to change that fact.

As an on-and-off smoker, I too am irritated by it, and by something more: my mother told me that "ladies never smoke and walk." I think NOBODY should smoke and walk....if you can't wait to take a break and sit down with a cup of coffee or some beverage and have a cigarette, then you're smoking for entirely the wrong reasons!
