Dear cigarette smoking GRANDMOTHER at the Natal Day events on the Commons: Seriously? Did this actually happen? You lit up in front of what appeared to be your 5 young grandkids, and my 7 month old baby who was less than 5 feet behind you. Then two other members of your group did the same. This shouldn’t even be a conversation we’re having, it’s 2011. We have little things like “facts” to back up the argument. You seemed surprised when I loudly stated the reason why we were giving up our seats was to take our baby out of your chemical smoke cloud. Just because you choose not to be responsible doesn’t mean we can’t. Thanks for infecting our shady spot with your cancer causing agents. —Just a Person

Let me be the first to say “congratulations!”.
The first smoking bitch of the week.
I have a solution to the “smoking problem” but it won’t be pretty and the country doesn’t currently have the manpower to clean up the “mess”.
RUN OP, RUN. Those caner causin’ agents gonna kill you.
Dartmouth Commons? Were you caught between the refinery and the volcano?

Sure hope Mammy Yokum and her kin didn’t ruin your Cannabis Day with a whole lotta baccy smoke. (Blast! – that was last month)
I commend you for taking action and moving. It would be hypocritical if you didn’t. With that said, I agree that you shouldn’t have to move.
This is all I’m saying, GV. OP here. I’m all for personal freedoms and whatnot, and if you’re a free-thinking adult you can smoke all the cancer-risk inducing cigarettes you want – in a place where you’re not bothering anybody. But when you’re a parent, you’re supposed to a) set an example and b) protect your kids. I just find it surprising to attend a “family” event and run into this sort of thing. I feel bad for that family’s kids more than anything. Similarly, I wouldn’t take our baby to a bar and expect to be accomodated. Location, location, location. So be it, we still had a nice time.
cancer causing agents me sneaking in your window, snatching yo’ babies up…

All kids of families go to family events even smoking families.
OP you did the right thing by leaving if you deemed the situation offensive. You can’t expect everyone to live by your rules or morals. When that Grandmother was younger she most likely smoked while pregnant, in the car at the supper table etc… and you weren’t frowned upon for doing so.
hell, it was seen all the time… in cartoons even

Anyone notice how BB tried to cover up the house guests’ smoking using certain camera angles and then eventually said “fuck it” and show that shit now?
Either that or I’ve been watching too many live feeds.
My GOD unemployment gives ya a lot of free time.
you’re just sitting at the window, watching the days pass by….

Oh dear, another whine about the evils of smoking a very legal product. Would you have made a bit of noise if it was pot? Most likely not, you wouldv’e joined in too.
Too bad if a person smokes, does drugs, or drinks. In the end, only they will pay the supreme price. And please everyone, don’t start the lectures on second hand smoke. It has been refuted time and again as not as dangerous as some fools would think. There are far worse crap out there to inhale.
And as a non smoker, i think it is about time, that you smokers, started to tell those nosy bitches off. Tell them to mind their own damn business, and start looking in their own closets first.
hm. Too bad she was within her legal rights to smoke there as far as i know. Correct me if i’m wrong. I’m sure you will. You’re that type.
is it just me or did sux create a new account?
there’s a province wide shortage on comma’s…
stop hogging them all pegging porker.
OP, you should have given her the three cheers for lung cancer. Ask if she has dug her 6 foot deep hole yet.
zZz, you whoever you are, are an ignorant pig of a person. So I use a lot of commas, periods, and whatever, is it any of your damn business.
I wasn’t debating her legal rights – see where we removed ourselves from what we deemed to be an unpleasant situation and moved on with our day, in the spirit of live and let live. Its not like I was going to go wrestle her smoke from her. And no, Pigg, we wouldn’t join in and smoke pot…WITH OUR BABY. What I am really expressing here is how sad I find it that some people find it acceptable to smoke tobacco in front of, polluting the air of, their young offspring. Congratulations on adding to the next generation of lung cancer victims. As I said earlier, I’m all for people doing their thing in a situationally appropriate manner. In my view (and the view of many others), it’s more than a little pathetic/loserish/bad parenting to smoke cigarettes in front of your kids.
oh . you’re, right. it!s completely – acceptable to punctuate [like you]re a tween{ dyslexic + crack whore….}

Awww zed, leave the newbie alone! From the explosion up there from some simple jabbing, we MAY have another oldhandjob on our hands, and…. the novelty’s WAY past gone on that one.
just reminded me of that ranty, jabbering numbskull is all.

and I’m not the one named pig there Porky McPeggerson.
Go shove a flail down Seb’s gaping, colo-rectal entrance-only.
I just bet that you were born with a name you chose, right? We all can’t be that lucky, to have such beautiful names. At least i.m not a spoiled little piss faced ass, as you seem to be. Yes, I guess my friend was right about you. You are a little shithead, and a whiner, when things don’t go YOUR way.
Try coming out of your mom’s cellar sometime. The world is full of people like you, so you would fit right in. And as to the use or overuse of something, I find that your are vulgar, rude, ignorant, and a little sookie baby. H ave a very lousy day.
Hay — I didn’t say I didn’t agree with you, I just wanted to avoid a ‘situation.’
One can only be called a child molesting zoophile so many times before it gets tiresome.
Chill, peg. CHILL.
If he bothers you that much, just ignore his ass!
ok, sure….. so…. you have an opinion of me. ooooooo
doesn’t make your ranting any more pleasurable to read.
You just about ready to start grade 7?
it’s already august.
better make sure to get rid of that Dora the Explorer lunchbox….
they’re all gonna laugh at you.
PS, if you think I’m little… spoiled.. sookie.. and live in my mother’s cellar…
well you go right on ahead thinkin’ that.
Sure, it’s all true! I’m also an abrasive, cucumber thin midget with narcolepsy, an over sized head, have leprosy, and a chain that connects my nose ring to my cock.
When I get a runny nose, I can use it as lubricant whilst I’m whacking off to the thought of a life that doesn’t so closely resemble my own…..
woe is me…
and every day is lousy. get used to it.
Yeah, I see that you are a real winner, or should that be weiner.
only two comma’s!
baby steps… you’re doing great!
I’m sure someone in this world has a chain connecting their nose ring to their penis.
WHY DID I GOOGLE THAT. UGH.
fuck you o.p., don’t smoke, good, but leave the rest of these poor suckers alone, in your stupid bitch. you have no fucking idea how hard it is to quit, and if you did, then you would stfu, real quick like. and zzz, get fucked, asshole.
oh, my world is collapsing…
two tards suffering from hyper-punctuativity disorder are taking offense…
If you speak the way you type, even the driver of the short bus would tell you to get bent.
Ahhh…. I see why he’s grouchy at z3 now.
I don’t like the piggy either zzz. But I have wonderful “skimming” capabilities and ignore, ignore, ignore…
kinda like when you make the most amazing soup…
but have to skim the fat, idiotic comments off the top to enjoy it.
yeah, I can see that.
mmm soup http://whatthefuckishappening.files.wordpr…
Ahhhh – softcore porn for old married dudes. Spassibo Painuchka.
OMFG move if you want to move, good for you. No I mean that, good that you moved out of the smoke cloud … but that line about cancer causing agents … U funny OP.
Ok, I am a nonsmoker so I get how annoying and nasty it is to have someone else’s smoke waft into your face. I get that. Personally I wish cigarettes didn’t exist.
Anyway, they were in a public place just as you were. And unless there were signs advising no smoking allowed they were just as in the right to enjoy themselves and the space as you were.
You did what was right for you and your company: you got up and moved. Good for you. Gold star for you.
