If smokers aren’t people, then who can I blame for the cigarette butts scattered everywhere I look? (The obvious answer is “litterers”, of course…but they have to get them somewhere!)
The op struck me as so over the top it was clever and funny.
run over them at will!
Hey, I shall trade you. My next door apt neighbor blasts his radio at 4 am and he doesn’t leave for work til 8 so i get hours less sleep than I usually would. My health is suffeirng. I would gladly have your neighbor come over and smoke in my bedroom instead of this!
Their owners, I guess. And they better be declawed.
In your bedroom? I don’t think it is the music that is keeping you awake. A bit hot over there?
BOOO!
You know who else didn’t like smoking?
Alice the Goon?
Learn gracious and skillful tolerance of other’s annoying habits. This decade it is smokers. Next decade it may be drinkers or one of your favorite, but risky, and annoying habits.
This will not only serve you well and rest your spirit in this life but may earn you points toward not reincarnating as a shrew.
Is it about time for the phrase “chilling effect” to be used? Because that’s my current something. I want to take the people who use that phrase seriously and stick them in a meat locker for a day or two.
The OP would never survive in my part of the world. Lots of us have fireplaces and wood stoves.
Just like the hardy pioneers.
They just don’t make people like they used to.
Well it’s nice to see that someone’s willing to give Sapo a run for his money in the ‘overly sensitive delicate flower’ category.
You do know you’re in the pit, right? And the word ‘shiver’ sets you off?
It’s true what they say, it takes all kinds to make a world!
Says the person who gets all a-shiver at a random internet tough guy.
Not to take away from your rant, but I just had a couple thoughts. Could you ask him to smoke somewhere else? Like maybe the back of his house? And would an air filter help? Even with the windows open, I think mine does help with obvious things like smoke.
Dogs. When I was quitting smoking, everyone I saw smoked. Joggers, toddlers, everyone. People walking their dogs smoked, and I’m sure I saw the dogs smoking too.
As a smoker I must point out that he is outside!, what the hell does your delicate flower ass want?
On second thought I completely agree with you, smokers should be immediately and harshly terminated with no trial or investigation at all and when the smokers are all gone I say that we start on folks that call themselves Sapo on the Intertoobz.

The he go under the wheels of my hulking SUV. Was that not clear?
Glad you see it my way. Oh wait. That sounds like a really narrow category, I feel targeted now. Still, I might have me some time while you work on the smokers. Start with those.
C’mon. He is in HIS house. He can do what he wants. It would be ridiculous of me to choose for him the places in his house where he can smoke. I just smile and wave at him when we see each other taking out the trash at night and politely ask about his kids when we meet at the school waiting for them. And then come to my computer and wish him dead on the internet. It might not be the most orthodox of social lubrications but whatever works, right?
I don’t think you are clear in how this works.
No wait, maybe you do. And yet people who wish smokers dead and who want to put people who say “chilling effect” put in to meat lockers set you off. You are weird.
In diddly deed.
So… you don’t just want him dead, then?
Have you tried looking at him pointedly and fake coughing?
