I was asked to give a colleague a lift and agreed as it was on the way into work and she inmediately started vaping. It fucking stank and I asked if she could stop. She was quite put out and I had to stop twice (20 min journey!) for her to 'vape.'

Yanbu about vaping but why the hell did you stop? I might have stopped at a bus stop and told her to get out but stopping so she could vape? Hell no

MrTrebus · 19/08/2017 15:13

If she needs to vape that much in a 20 minute journey she has a pretty serious addiction! She probably did it to make a point. She is a silly woman. Don't offer a lift again!

Dina1234 · 19/08/2017 15:32

That is just very rude of her to start doing it in the first place.

I wouldn't vape in someone's car without asking. Must have been a very smelly juice though for you to think it effing stank or did she have one of those big tanks and it produces a lot of vape?

I use e cigs, less vape and they definitely don't stink. But YANBU. It's your car.

Starlighter · 19/08/2017 16:12

What on earth?! That's so rude! No more lifts in future!

Dustbunny1900 · 19/08/2017 16:33

Your car your rules. End of.

Viviennemary · 19/08/2017 16:35

No you shouldn't. I hate vaping. Should be looked upon the same as smoking. Out of doors and away from people.

Sarikiz · 19/08/2017 16:37

YANBU its your car. I would not let someone vape in my car The woman is very rude to vape without even asking.

meltingmarshmallows · 19/08/2017 16:38

YANBU. So rude and I agree to non vapers it most definitely does smell awful.

Bluebannana · 19/08/2017 16:42

YANBU it's your car, she should have asked and respected your wishes. Personally I think that the fruity or minty vapes smell lovely though.

HungerOfThePine · 19/08/2017 17:08

Yanbu She should have atleast asked if it was ok, I vape and I visit a friend often and still ask if it's ok each time as I'm aware the smell might bother her.

AnnetteCurtains · 19/08/2017 17:10

She should have asked but it probably wouldn't have bothered me

VivienneWestwoodsKnickers · 19/08/2017 17:11

YABNU. And no more lifts for that entitled idiot.

HoHoHoHo · 19/08/2017 17:13

I vape and i think some of them stink. I hate the smell of the sickly vanilla ones. I wouldn't even ask to vape in someone's car unless they smoked or vaped themselves. I'd just have some before i got in and wait until we get to the destination.

ItsNachoCheese · 19/08/2017 17:19

My dsis nearly smashed my car window with a plank of wood because i refused to let her vape in my car... never mind she had my 2yo ds in the passenger seat and me and her 2 dd's in the back. I dont care what she does in her own house or car but i do when its my car

miniwalrus · 19/08/2017 17:34

It was a horrible sickly fruity smell, like cheap air freshner.

Yanbu

Why on earth did you stop for her though?

PinkHeart5911 · 19/08/2017 17:48

Blimey who can't go 20 minutes without using the thing? If you are going to use it surely it's good manners to say "x is it ok?"

I don't like the artificial fruit or worse vanilla smell of them either so wouldn't of wanted it in my car.

MimsyFluff · 19/08/2017 17:52

No more lifts OP she has zero respect for you!

NicolasFlamel · 19/08/2017 18:14

Blimey I only would have stopped once to boot her out and tell her to get a bus. Sounds like she did it to be awkward though.

That reminds me, we went past a vape shop inside the local shopping centre and it was like being on a misty moor! There was a big cloud floating around the place and above the counter. It absolutely stank. I'm surprised they're allowed to do that in the indoor shopping centres.

YouCantArgueWithStupid · 19/08/2017 18:15

I vape and can easily go 20 mins!!! It's usually an hourly thing for me. Also I wouldn't vape in someone's car who wasn't vaping it in themselves!

Ginmakesitallok · 19/08/2017 18:16

Nicolas - why wouldn't they be allowed??

She should have asked.

NicolasFlamel · 19/08/2017 18:19

Because there was a massive cloud of "vape" hanging around the shop and it reeked Confused People should be able to shop in an indoor mall without having to breathe it in.

Holier than thou people, form an orderly queue right here >>>>

I love these indignant threads. But just this once I am contributing. Watching is so much better. And as wine o'clock approaches the tempers rise. It is such fun.

For the record I don't care about vaping it doesn't bother me in the slightest, I allow anyone to vape away in my car and my home. But opening a window a crack is a good move sometimes I admit! Other than that, I am so happy that former smokers have quit. That is so good.
