Smokers suck


This is probably not news to anybody, but smokers really suck. They are all about their filthy, disgusting habit, and most have no consideration for the rest of us.

The latest incidents to trigger this rant came when ol' Ty and his wife took a brief vacation to Myrtle Beach, SC. This is a very nice area along the Atlantic Ocean, with lots of beachfront and a nice, warm ocean in August.

The first thing that torqued me off happened when we were walking along the beach, looking for a place to park our new beach towels. There was some ass clown smoking away on the beach. No ashtray, no consideration for others, no nothing. While the rest of us saw beautiful beach, apparently this joker saw an ashtray you can sit in. When he finished puffing, he just put his ciggie butt out in the sand, and left it there for the rest of the world to enjoy. As the time wore on I saw other smokers performing this same ritual. As we walked the beach we saw all kinds of remnants of smokers. Disgusting.

The other incident happened poolside. We'd had enough sun for the day, but not enough salt sea air. So we settled in on a couple of deck chairs, well away from everyone else. Sure enough, some lardbutt woman with the nasty habit sits down in the next row of chairs, upwind from us, even though there were plenty of chairs down the row and to the left of where we were. As she puffed away, the smoke made its way straight into our nostrils. Ah, nothing like a trip to flavor country.

When she finally finished, she put the cigarette out on pool deck and left the butt there while she continued to sun herself. I'm sure that's where it remained until the hotel staff came through with a broom and dustpan.

Smokers whine all the time about infringement of their rights -- how they can't smoke in office buildings, bars, restaurants, etc. anymore. Well, there's a good reason for it. Because you're pigs.

Smokers, you suck.

You'll like this Ty...I went to Arby's tonight to get a shake, and as I was leaving the drive thru, one of the workers was smoking in the closed area where the dumpster is kept. Apparently, that's the only place the manager allows smokers to light up. Classic.
