There are really few things more obnoxious to complain about than smokers. Of particular note are the people who do the thing where they wave their hands frantically in front of their face to shoo shoo the smoke away (while scrunching their noses no doubt). Double bonus points when they do so on a busy street redolent with noxious vehicle fumes, or triple points on a residential street with some wood burning fireplaces going.
Has the IA poster heard of the concept of "walking around the other person"? And please let us know if you're from California, because if that's the case, we should all take up smoking outside until the gentrifying hordes flee in horror.
You could have just fake coughed really loudly over and over again until they roll their eyes and told you to fuck off. At least then you would have been productive.
SOMEONE, you know, just not ME, because I'm just a passive-aggressive chickenshit.
