I know I probably am being unreasonable but need a rant against bloody smokers again!

[sweetkitty]

We were having a family day out today at a little theme park and I was so annoyed by the amount of parents smoking. OK I know it's outside and all that but things like when my DC were on this little carousel thing 2 parents were hanging over the fence smoking so I could really smell it.

Then that thing parents do where they blow smoke and keep their fag away from their DC by blowing it over your DC, this was in a queue for the mini dodgems. Then we sat down to eat and someone sat next to us smoking. All you could smell today was smoke.

If you must smoke then bugger off to some remote corner and do it, public places like playgrounds should be no smoking anyway.

I had to pull my DC out the queue as they were coughing having had smoke blown over them nevermind worrying about them getting burnt by a fag held at toddler level.

Calls police on Usual.

Oh ffs OP. Get a grip.

If you can't smoke in the picnic area after a nice cheese and pickle sarnie ...

Why were you doing times tables on a day out?

Well that wasn't on the day out bit but those are the parental high fucking lights of the day. I can't wait to stay in and talk shite on here tomorrow, with games machines, cheesiest and any other pacifying activity I can make available. It will include tinned pasta too and jars of purree.

TBH small children are more in danger if i don't have a fag than if i smoke a couple of metres away, outisde and don't burn them.

Well I've had two pairs on today tucked u der my tits.

Fucks sake, it's get on your clothes then when well if you cuddle them they get all the nastys. It's just not defendable.

I don't mind stale garlic WorraLiberty!

Honestly, I do know I can't kick FagAshLil off our shared bus because she honks. But I also know that in my smoking days, I had no conception of how disgusting a smell it can be, iyswim.

There was probably someone two seats back from me on the bus back then wanting to spray me with Febreeze.

Doesn't seem unreasonable to nip off somewhere that is 'not the queue for a kiddy ride' if you want a cig, though. I'd've done as much when I smoked & I quit in 2004!

I agree with you OP. Pisses me off too.

Dirty fuckers should blow their smoke over their kids

I do see your point really, at the theme parks we went to in Florida there were area's set aside for smoking. I am a smoker myself btw, but try to be considerate, we were once on a little train thing at the local park which lasts about 5 mins, full of kids and a woman sparked up . I mean honestly could you not wait the whole 5 minutes until you got off the ride for small children.

She reminded me of my Mum, who sadly died of lung cancer, which didn't put me off .

I agree raven, there should be smoking areas....if only to shut the whingers up

But for the record, stale garlic (as much as I love eating garlic) when sweated out through the pores...along with other spices and I don't know what, it's totally 100% gagworthy.

Oh and Wotsits

No-one ever should be allowed to eat a bag of cheesy Wotsits on any public journey......

< Gavel >

God how I hate the word scruffy though .

They should have designated smoking areas, it makes clothes and hair stink if you stand anywhere near someone who is smoking, you wouldn't stand in a queue, pick your nose and wipe it on a child, so why inflict this bad habit on them either.

This thread reminded me of the person I know who was pulled by the police for doing 100mph on an A road, with his 2yo daughter in the car.. yet he moaned at someone for smoking near his kid.

I'm a dirty fucker ,I don't rinse my pots either.

It does, I have had my children come back from being out with their dad and I can tell if someone has smoked near them. If anyone beside me lights a ciggie I always ask them to move (my son had quite bad asthma) but their dad isn't quite so outspoken.

You tell yourself that dizzy...
