Why are people so inconsiderate with their vapes?

No, they're not.

Thank you - can we park this one now?😊It's just too warm to argue, Solero anyone?

This has been done to death on here.
It seems mumsnetters (or at least the ones that start threads about them, hate vapes* *and vapers). IRL I don't know anyone that has a problem with them. It's almost as if when you go looking for something to complain about you will find it....

Not a big deal for me and think that you need to be a bit more tolerant. Living around other people means that we have an impact on each other. Vapes, smoking, traffic fumes, wood burners etc etc, these things are normal.

Yes, I said why are people so inconsiderate with their vapes... because some people are inconsiderate with their vapes.. and those people are people.

Smokers are generally not a problem for me. Their clouds aren't as big or as intensely smelling and they tend to be more considerate because it's less socially acceptable for some reason.
Noone would dream of sparking up a fag on school premises but apparently some people think it's fine to vape.

Yes but obviously only if it was considered a medical need.

Yup.

Here's one I made earlier, I've only skimmed the thread so I don't know if it's time to call 'house' yet -

What is it with people and their vapes? They produce these massive clouds of stinky, sweet, gross vapour and they are either blissfully unaware or they don't GAF, I don't know which.

School sports day today so a lot of the parents went to the cafe next to the school between dropping kids off and waiting for sports day to start.

I sat indoors and a few parents were outdoors, door propped open as it was a hot day.

I'm sat there, eating my breakfast and suddenly, a huge cloud of stinky strawberry vapour that's been inside someone's manky lungs descends over me and my food. I could taste it in my mouth 🤮

I looked over and it's a dad sat just outside with his back to the door, his vape clouds going behind him and straight inside the cafe.

I moved seats and no more clouds descended on me but I had made a mental note to either say something or passively-aggressively close the door, not sure which I would have done.

Then later I am standing by the track on the school field ready to cheer my daughter on and right in front of me, a vape cloud desends again, this time from another dad in front of me.
On the school field.
At sports day. In a three-person deep crowd of parents, some with toddlers.
This time I am pissed off so I went and told the headteacher who was stood at the side and he announced over the tannoy that vaping is not allowed on school premises. I mean, who does that??!?

As it may be apparent, this is more of a rant than a AIBU, but I am curious why people this this behaviour is OK?

Unreasonable - They are just gormless and don't realise what they are doing
Not unreasonable - They must know, because it's obvious, but they are so addicted to their stinky plastic puff pens that they don't care.

Some of those things are valid points though

Yup.

Here's one I made earlier, I've only skimmed the thread so I don't know if it's time to call 'house' yet -

To be honest op, I agree that people are inconsiderate and there is no excuse for what you experienced it’s very anti social. However I haven’t even read this thread and already know the general bingo card phrases that will have been used - chavvy, tacky, adults sucking dummies, pathetic blah blah blah. You did it yourself in your op, you’re entitled to be annoyed but it doesn’t mean you have to be so rude and superior.

The MN attitude towards vaping is so ridiculous and over the top I find it hard to read these threads. Ultimately they are a good aid in stopping smoking which is a far worse habit. People need to get a grip.

I couldn’t really word “are you 100% chilled about your teen daughter vaping” any other way!

but yes, guess I didn’t need to ask if she applied pressure to you to join her given you started up after she started - i definitely see how that came across as a touch judgey pants!

Fair enough. It’s too hot anyway.

I certainly was feeling judged, that's why I backed off. It's absolutely none of their business and the tone was certainly judgemental.

I am a parent
and honestly? No, truly can’t be assed

Ok. Are you a parent and if so, would you like to tell us about your approach to parenting so I can privately judge you satisfy my curiosity?

asking out of curiosity

but what I privately thought and didn’t post is just that really - private
