Today, I was yelled at for smoking at a bus stop, because a woman didn't appreciate me smoking by her children. She did this while waving her own lit cigarette in my face. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was having a cigarette in a smoking area when a mother with a pram strode towards me and exaggerated a cough to make some sort of point. Reluctantly, I put it out and walked off. I then turned around to see her lighting up a cigarette, and blowing smoke all over her baby. FML
Today, I was at an outdoor market with my family. We'd had dinner and were about to leave when two women stood next to our table, smoking. We called out to let them know they could have it, as we were leaving. They thought we were complaining about the smoke. They yelled at us and stormed off, while the other tables stared. FML
Today, a stranger had a go at me for smoking while pregnant. I'm a guy. FML
Today, some guy at the bus stop screamed at me because the bus was coming and I wasn’t wearing my mask. I was standing 25 feet from the stop finishing a smoke and there was no one around me. When I sat down on the bus, with my mask on, he stared me down the whole ride. FML
Today, while driving me to the hospital because I was having an asthma attack, my mother lit a cigarette. FML
Today, I was on my way home on my bike when a lady in a 4WD cut me off while beeping her horn and calling me a "stupid f**ker who should get a proper education." In her car, she was smoking, and her three children weren't wearing seat belts. FML
Today, while waiting for a bus, someone started smoking at the bus shelter, which is illegal in my city. I politely asked him to stop smoking, citing the city ordinance. He just cackled and said that if I'm so concerned about the state of my health, I should start by losing 90 pounds. FML
Today, I was standing on a balcony smoking a cigarette when I noticed a woman giving me strange looks. When I put the cigarette out and went to walk inside she said "You shouldn't smoke while you're pregnant." I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, I walked past a few of my coworkers sitting outside smoking. As I got a whiff of the smoke, I coughed. They immediately started to defend their habit, and I was told to "mind my own fucking business." I wasn't trying to be rude; I'm actually allergic to cigarette smoke. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were visiting his parents. When we got there, I hugged his mother, and she glared at me. Later that day, I heard her telling her son that he should leave me because I smell like cigarettes, and she hates smokers. I don't smoke, my boyfriend does. He did all the way there. FML

I'm surprised that wasn't in Manchester, to be honest... and seriously what is with people trying to tell others whether they should smoke or not? It's absolutely none of your business. And before you go on about it draining the NHS, you can't use that argument if you drink alcohol on a regular basis. Rant over... self righteous bastards. P.s. I don't actually smoke regularly myself, I just find people amazingly nosy.

(can understand people not wanting second hand smoke, especially around children. It's the people who bitch and gripe about it even when the smoker is standing in a smoking area or similar who drive me insane... idiots.)

She probably also hates racists, hypocrites, and black people.

Had it been me, I would have promptly apologized and put my cigarette out...immediately after, I would have snatched the cigarette out of her hand, stomped it out on the ground and walked away.

Op, YDI. I am a smoker but I will say you shouldn't have lit up around kids, even if their irresponsible mother smokes around them. No need to add to their deteriorating lung function.

That sucks of course nobody should smoke by children under 10 but that was so rude I would have asked her bout the cigi in her hand
