So today I got out of my college classes and me and a bud decide to go down to the local park beside the college, it's a really nice day out so we thought we would blow a couple hours. Anyways we're sitting on a park picnic table and since my bud is a smoker so I figure what the hell I'm going to pull out my briar and have a smoke. So I take my pipe out, pack it, get it up and smoking. About 25 minuets later we see this woman and she is waving at us, but it was more of a frantic wave then a greeting wave. So she starts walking towards us and she's pointing to her mouth and shaking her head "no". So I look at my friend and me and him are both confused beyond belief and then it hits me. "Is she signaling at me about my pipe?"
Well what do you know she is still walking towards us and I mean she was almost at the other end of the park, so it's not like its a small walk. So she finally gets up to us and says "Do you know what you are doing?" I say to her "No this isnt the green stuff this is real tobacco, don't worry" thinking that many times I've smoked my pipe people assume I'm smoking the wacky tobaccy. So she says "No no no I'm trying to save you from killing yourself by smoking..dont you know its bad for you?" Then she has the nerve to try and reach out and take my pipe from my hand...I mean what the hell. So I step back abit and say "What the heck are you doing" So she goes on about the dangers of smoking as if I havent heard them all before and talking to me like I was a kid. Anyways I stop her acouple times and say "We'll it is my decision and I know the risks thank you for the concern" but she just keeps going on and on and on blabbing her mouth. So finally she finishes and says "I hope my kids dont grow up to be a smoker like you" Anyways I could cuss her out at this point but instead I try to take the civil route and say "Yeah just what we need more kids having their parents make decisions for them, when your kid gets to highschool and realizes they can make their own decisions they will realize the kind of bitch that you are" Well she stomped off quite PO'ed and I enjoyed the rest of my pipe.
So has anyone else ran into another of these people? I mean I've had people say "Well you know smoking is bad for you" to which I usually respond "Yes I know the risks, thanks for the concern" but this woman my god she was just over the edge...she even said at one point in her "inspiring speech" that I was killing kids. Crazy anti-smoking Nazis...... anyone else met any of them?
