Is it 'common' to smoke on your front step?

[LookAtTheFlowersKerry]

My mother has spotted my decorative boot ashtray out the front. She is HORRIFIED.

I smoke out the front if it's raining (there's a covered bit, porchy thing). Otherwise I smoke out the back.

My mother says it's terribly low class and my neighbours will all judge me. They normally just say hello tbh, and comment on the shitty weather.

Is she right though? Am I committing a terrible faux pas?

What's worse is that I'm often in my pjs and slippers...

Aibu?

My Mum has holiday lets and a couple of weeks ago a woman admitted that she was drunk and pissed on Mums sofa! Mum was not amused and sent a bill for a new sofa as she had to take the pissy one to the tip

I wouldn't be amused either! That's disgusting! Your poor DM.
