This really really annoys me......

Why do people have to spoke under a bus shelter??

I dont smoke, it's a disgusting habit and Frankly, I don't want to smell of it.

If I were a smoker I would have the decency to smoke away from the bus shelter

Oh.

I thought she just disagreed with you Confused Hmm

morethanpotatoprints · 13/10/2014 17:08

I am looking in the dictionary oh great one Baaaa and I can't find wum.

Lweji · 13/10/2014 17:13

It depends on the dictionary

Lweji · 13/10/2014 17:14

Also acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/WUM

Lweji · 13/10/2014 17:15

Some people are just better at looking up things than others.

ArsenicFaceCream · 13/10/2014 17:15

Oh come on Lweji, one sticks to the OED, surely? Collins or Chambers at a push Wink

Lweji · 13/10/2014 17:19

The urban dictionary is only the half-way house to the OED.
Give it a couple more years of MN.

RaisingMen · 13/10/2014 17:29

It's fucking disgusting. And give up with the 'aren't we allowed to stay dry while we smoke?' crap. You will not die if you wait until you get home or it stops raining before you have your precious fag.

I honestly don't think smokers can be aware of how much they stink. The smell clings to your clothes, your hair, your nicotine stained fingers...if you chose to smoke that's your own issue, be polite enough not to inflict it on anyone else.

And don't whine at me about addiction either, that's an excuse. Thousands of people quit every day, me included. You just don't want to.

Please god no. I will vape everywhere in protest if that happens.

Smoke rings and everything.

Having grown up around smokers, I don't think they care - they really only care about their addiction, and whinging about the unfairness of others not wanting to be near it. My father would smoke around the grandchildren if he was let. Frankly, I'm completely immune to it by now.

chillyourboots · 13/10/2014 19:44

At this precise moment.
I am standing under a shelter and it's raining and 2 people are smoking.
I feel they have no respect for anyone!

ArsenicFaceCream · 13/10/2014 19:48

They are just being rude chill

Lots of people are rude.

gamerchick · 13/10/2014 20:29

Ah baaaaaa you're assuming I don't know the score.. you're also assuming that i'm an 'inconsiderate' smoker.. bless you. Wink

'move if you don't like it'.

So if I'm standing in under a bus shelter, as an asthmatic, sheltering from the rain, and you come along and stand under the shelter and spark up a fag, I should move and stand in the rain? Yeah right, that's really going to happen wink. I'm not a violent person, but if you refused to move, I would take your fag out of your gob and snap it in half.

HTH*

Man this was worthy of turning the laptop on brilliant Grin

If that was a real life situation believe me it wouldn't happen, even if I was smoking in a bus shelter. :)

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 13/10/2014 20:37

Oh FGS! Again? So soon?

YANBU - of course smokers should not spark up in bus shelters, I never did when I smoked.

However, HAVE YOU FUCKING LISTENED TO YOURSELVES?

This is a selection of phrases from this thread which is (so far) relatively short for a MN smoking thread but we get one every few days and they seem to serve no purpose other than an excuse for people to spill bile all over the place! You're not telling anybody anything new and you're not changing anything. You're just grabbing the opportunity to once again be deeply shitty about a bunch of people, most of whom became addicted as children to a product that will kill half of them and from whom the govt. makes an absolute fortune. It's getting old.

Why don't you actually campaign for some real change and start a petition to ban the sale of tobacco? Why don't you go over to the stop smoking section and support some people who are trying to quit?

Fucking whingers.

PunkrockerGirl · 13/10/2014 20:38

Made me laugh too, Gamer. I'd pay good money to see her try that round these parts!

OwlCapone · 13/10/2014 20:52

You're not telling anybody anything new and you're not changing anything.

Well, that applies to a large part of Mumsnet.

hazeyjane · 13/10/2014 21:26

Plenty, you could take just about any thread on aibu and pick out random words to make everyone seem like they are frothing at the mouth with fury.

I am not a rabid anti smoker, I smoked for years, it was really hard giving up, and I try and support friends and family when they have tried to quit.

You include my words in your list, 'inconsiderate' and 'breathing smoke over my ds', but I fail to see what is so bad about those words?

gamerchick · 13/10/2014 21:34

So would I PG it did make me do a mutley laugh Grin

GahLinDah · 13/10/2014 21:37

Threads are duplicated all of the time, not everybody is on here everyday to take note of what's been written , there is a huge readership. Don't open the thread if it's repetitive and boring etc etc etc.

I couldn't resist this picture. Grin Wink Grin

Er, are you new to AIBU? Grin

As for the bus shelter smokers: filthy, selfish, stinking bastards. I console myself with the thought of their dull grey skin and shortened life expectancy. :)

Lweji · 13/10/2014 21:42

Yeah, that is the point of this thread.
To complain about people who smoke under bus shelters, as we won't really complain directly to them.

So, if you are reading, do realise that even though the people standing next to you don't say anything, most are probably hating you every second you have your ciggie lit.

Southeastdweller · 13/10/2014 21:42

Of course it's revolting.

Only read the OP because I can't be bothered to read pathetic posts from smokers laughably defending their filthy habit.
