To the man on Spring Garden who exhaled in my face. I was turning the corner to be surprised by a cloud of smoke seeping into my eyes and nose. Not only is this disrespectful it’s fucking disgusting. I don’t want your second hand mouth smoke so watch where you are blowing next time. —Considerate Smoker

that’s odd a bitch bout smoking…
Lung cancer at work.
It’s al the citys’ fault for not having mirrors at corners. Seriously, the person was walking around the corner. Wait what were doing at a corner, shaking your Timmies’ cup?
People shouldn’t be smoking on the side walks there anyway Tim. (I don’t hate smokers…I’ve been one for awhile…except now that the buns in the oven…but I’m a considerate smoker!)
sooo if you walked around the corner into his cloud of killer smoke and you didn’t see him… care to explain how he blew it IN your face? He probably didn’t see you either and you, like you said, walked into it… muffin…..
He obviously didn’t know you were there.
Well, I don’t agree with this bitch (even though I hate smokers) on the whole walking around the corner thing. If he didn’t see you, then you can’t really call it “blowing it in your face”. But chances are, if you walk around a corner and it’s on Spring Garden, a building formed that corner and most likely you’re close to an entrance so this person was probably smoking where they shouldn’t have been anyway but I have yet to see anyone get a fine for smoking where they’re not supposed to.
Didn’t that mean I want to sleep with you during the 80’s?
I didn’t write this bitch….but I have to say…People should not be smoking on the sidewalks in those busy areas…every day I almost get burnt by a cigarette from someone walking along smoking in a crowd of people. It fucken pisses me off!
A prof I had a few years back was driving her car and someone threw a lit butt out their window — it flew into her car and set the passenger seat on fire.
Lovely, eh?
Couple weekends ago I was walking from lower water to barrington at around midnight by myself (yeah, I know, my mother already gave me a lecture about this, lolz) and I was walking by elephant and castle and some guy smoking outside didn’t see me and threw his lit butt at me. He felt awful about it and it only hit my arm and didn’t injure me or anything. I would’ve been PISSED if it had’ve hit my clothes and put a cig burn in some part of what I was wearing.
Ditto RC for people who launch live butts out car windows on the highway when I’m riding behind on my motorcycle. Just what every biker wants lodged in their helmet at 100km!
Then there’s the hordes of smokers who failed basic reading at the bus terminals who ignore no-smoking signs en masse and think everyone should inhale their noxious fumes. Even waiting buses fill up with the unwanted toxic ciggie fumes. Not cool for passengers with chronic respiratory problems who apparently don’t have the right to breathe smoke-free air when using MT. Complete waste of money even posting those signs if they are not enforced.
Ditto PK too.
how about second hand dicksweat then? would that be more to your like herr naziass.
here’s a cool high 5 to all the smoking nazis. take a good look folks.
d’oh … ffs
