I used to be a cashier in a grocery store, and I found it less than coincidence that the smokers would go out for a fix just when the store happened to be getting busy, or when someone spilled something; in addition to the fifteen minute smoke break every hour -- and of course they got paid the same as I, who worked 60 minutes every hour instead of 45.
The really irritating thing I've noticed is, in general, smokers tend to be more self-centered and rude. I notice this driving, especially. In my very unofficial and unscientific surveys, when someone cuts me off in traffic, they are much more likely to be flipping a cigarette out the window.
Which brings me to another rant. What the heck is up with that? That's why there are ash trays, people! Why do you feel like you need to litter my highways with your flaming, poisonous trash? ESPECIALLY here in Colorado, where we have ash falling from the skies because careless and idiotic acts like that end up setting another few thousand acres of our state on fire!
I'm sorry, what was the question? |
