I have this umbrella with a long metal point. One could call it a weapon. I call it an umbrella.
When I got off the train tonight, I pointed the umbrella inward towards me and then up so I could open it, but was bumped forward by a woman who decided she was practicing for the time she has to jump out of a burning building because she launched herself off the train and into me. This resulted in me catching the arm of a man, puffing away on a cigarette I might add - right under the sign that clearly read NO SMOKING - with the point of said umbrella.
"Hey!" He yelled. "You could really hurt someone with that! That's a weapon!" I quickly replied, "Says the smoker on a platform where smoking is not allowed."**
Eff you, buddy. Seriously. Really? He's the one sucking on a stick proven to cause all kinds of cancer and he's worried about being poked by an umbrella?
**Smoke all you want. Just obey the laws of the land is all I ask. It's not fair to the smokers who follow the law when a-holes like the dude from tonight think the law doesn't apply to people like him.
I'd take being poked with an umbrella over having someone poison me with second-hand smoke on government land where the law legislates we can all breathe freely. It doesn't matter it's outside as cigarette smoke hovers!
ReplyDeleteThere are many low-lifes like this guy who don't understand why the no-smoking signs are there. Sorry you had this dick in your face. I would have slapped the cigarette out of his mouth.
