Non smokers in pub designated smoking zones.

[depoix 11]

My point was the lack of consideration for somebody already eating a meal

eating a meal in a smoking designated area then complaining about a smoker,doesnt that just shout out arrogance ?

Designated smoking area's should be for people who want to smoke, same as there is designated dissabled toilets and parking for people with dissabilities

Arrogance?

 

lol....So let me get this right.

 

A diner goes to a pub for a meal, fancies eating it outside because of the nice weather and nobody is smoking.

 

A smoker appears during the meal and starts smoking without any consideration for the diner. A simple...'do you mind?', or just waited for them to finish.

 

Therefore the diner is arrogant?

How do you know the diner was there before the smoker? How do you know it wasn't the other way round? How do you know other smokers where not present? Also you have missed the part that has been said that the smoking area is a SMALL part of a LARGE Beer garden. She could have sat in a 'non smoking area' of the beer garden, but chose not to?

 

I think with this and her reactions do indeed show arrogance.

I had just lit this cigarette when I heard a voice from behind saying "Excuse me, would you mind not smoking as I am eating

 

So from that I guess she was there first.

 

Also do you think she would have eaten there if someone was already smoking, or maybe she just waiting for the OP?

Precedence not to consider someone eating a meal?

Waiting for the OP is exactly what she was doing. She could have sat anywhere in the large beer garden, but chose to sit in the smoking area. Sooner or later someone's gonna spark up, then she gets to tell them what to do. And fail.

Yes, she did politly ask, but that does not prove that she was there before him he might have been sat there supping his drink before she turned up

 

Also it's not wrong for a smoker to assume another person in a smoking area is not a non smoker? How did he know? Don't you think it's silly to ask someone who you think doestthe same as you?

 

Don't you think it's stupid for example to go in a pub and go to the bar then say to the person stood/sat at said bar, who is not the barstaff "Excuse me, do you mind that I buy and drink a beverage from here?"

 

I think it is.
