Hot Topic

So I sit here and think about all the things that irritate me and you know what?!  It really doesn't matter....no one cares about how I feel or what I think they only really take time to think about them and how what I think or how I feel about something only really inconveniences them.  Though they would not word it that way much less admit any of it is true.  What I think and how I feel only really matters if they are not feeling put out.

I have never allowed smoking in my house or my vehicles, but for some reason my husband thinks that it is ok to smoke in the car because it is too damn cold to smoke outside....well my opinion is if it is too damn cold to stand outside go without!  You do not need to smoke bad enough to endanger MY children!  Nothing pisses me off more than to put my kids into my vehicle and have it have been smoked in.

Then to make matters worse someone felt the need to smoke in the basement bathroom and I guess they figured that the fan would pull it outside...hm forgetting that the fan and dryer are vented through the same vent.  So now my dryer smells of stupid smoke and so did all the clothes I dried....I guess me and the kids don't matter because what we want and what is good for us health wise is an inconvenience to them.  Their "need" to smoke is more important than us.  And NO I am not being over dramatic because not intentionally subjecting us to their smoke should be a higher priority than whether or not they can smoke in the house.

I am not a smoker, I cannot stand smoking, but if you smoke fine just have respect for those of us who don't.  My house should be the one place I can go to get away from it and NOT have to deal with it.  If I go to a smoking establishment then that is my choice to subject myself to smoke.  If I go to someones house who smokes again my choice....being in a smoke free environment in the confines of my own home should also be my choice.  But my choice gets taken away by the selfishness of a smoker...who only thinks about themselves and what they want and how doing what I want and ask of them is an inconvenience to them.
