I used to be one of you and I’m not anymore. You smell, you litter, and you inconsiderately blow smoke in my PREGNANT face. Please don’t smoke in bus shelters, near building entrances, or in the hallway of my apartment building. It’s gross. —Ex Smoker

Ah. nothing bitchier than an ex-smoker, except one that’s PREGGERS.
who’s this ‘you’ you’re referring to?
I don’t think EVERY smoker has blown it in your face, is smoking in bus shelters/building entrances/hallways….
If someone was a dick, then call them out on it for being a dick….
they weren’t a dick to you just because they smoke.
I see that you think your Bitch has more validity because you too once were an ignorant smoker. Now that you’ve “grown up” and got impregnated, everyone else is the enemy.
There will always be ignorant smokers, as long as our ignorant government keeps selling them smokes. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
I’m really starting to get the impression that every ex-smoker should be issued with a pair of 2 X 4s, a hammer and some railroad spikes, so that every time they come into contact with the demon weed they can knock together a cross and nail themselves up. FML.
By the way, how can your face be pregnant? First thing they taught us in Orientation Week was you can’t knock a girl up with a BJ. Were they lying?
Lousy High Anglicans *shakes fist*
The Blessed Bloody Virgin Mary has now officially stated that smoke offends her – go suck on an 18 wheeler tail pipe, sweetcakes.
I was an asshole once to a guy who lit up in a bus shelter. He very politely called me out on it (he was only lighting it in the shelter then moved to stand out in the rain), and I’ve felt like a moron about it since.
Now I just try to get out of the way if smoke is bugging me. This doesn’t have much to do with the bitch here, just, damn I still feel like an idiot about that.
On an unrelated note- Mod- is there anyway to make the coast login in come before (or more obvious than) the facebook login option?
Let me guess for the safety of your unborn child you have not said anything to these smokers who blow smoke in your face. Well I am too an EX smoker. Yeah it stinks but you can’t do nothing about it cause you were once in their situation. Be happy your apt is smoke free. Just because your prego doesn’t mean people will try to keep you from breathing in second hand smoke.
When I was a smoker, it was not that I wanted others to breath in my second hand smoke, I was just so addicted to the cigarettes that I saw no other option than lighting up. It was just easier to ignore my inconsiderate actions than it was to put out the cigarette.
Ivan, I’m not sure if this will clear up, or add to, your confusion…

what’s worse than a smoke nazi, a reformed smoker, turned nazi. o.p., if i’m someplace, and you come near me, then you are the shithead, not me. if i come to somewhere that you are already, then i usually move away, or put out period. but don’t come here, gloating and fuming( i made a funny here), about us that are still smoking.
It pisses me of when our neighbors smoke in our hallways so they don’t have to in their apartments. Ps- Congrats on baby! 😀
OB, encourage their smoking….that way the lung cancer will grab ahold of them faster and put them 6 feet under on a chilly winter’s day.
Smoking, to me, seems so archaic in this day and age.
I’m an ex smoker too.. Haven’t smoked in 6 months this time. I can understand the hallway and bus stop although if you’re walking around, whether you smoke right in front of the door or to the side, it doesn’t always make a huge difference. I can smell a smoker who’s driving in front of me for god sakes…. and it smells good too… :/ Its weird how the smell of a smoker in the elevator almost makes me gag now but the smoke itself still smells good and makes me crave. Ah well….
