Heat seaking Fire Hoses needed by plblark 2006-11-19 12:55:59
Ok, here's the setup:
I do not smoke, but used to a long time ago, so I understand the cravings...
My work has two smoking sections: one around the corner from the top level exit of the parking garage, and one half way from the underground parking ramp exit door to the exit from the ramp...
When it gets cold, those pestilence carrying smokers drift ever closer to the doors... The net effect: Everything smells like ash!
They light up before they're even out the doors. They drift slowly towards the ash tray, stopping at each car for conversation and incidentally leaving all the cars smelling of ash. They light another one at the ash tray and wander back in... polluting all the way ...
Then, everyone who walks in has to walk through the haze of their stench. Then, they come to the elevator and their tar stench gets trapped there and I suffer. After that, maybe in a fit of remorse for the amount of time they waste smoking every day, they stop at the first desk they come to and discuss siomething... still reaking of ash... arrgghhh I hate smokers some days! I wish we had one of these: Smoke collectors
