My wife and I were sitting at a table in a beer garden yesterday. There were still quite a few tables free a couple in the shade but 2 or 3 the same as ours.
A couple in their probably 60s decided to sit at end of our table as in the sun didn't ask if OK or ask if anyone else was sitting there as we may have been waiting for people.
We do not smoke and I understand you can smoke in beer garden (I do not think you should but that's another argument) they then got out stinking roll ups and started smoking again not a word.
I said to wife whom was not impressed that I am saying something which she didn't want to. I got up and said "it's OK you just stay there and we will move tables as we don't want smoke all over our clothes you 2 just do what you like ignorant *******s"
Not a word from them. That sort of **** really annoys me.
I would say that their behaviour was rude and arrogant?

I've found closing myself off from the general population by living in a small village has done my stress levels a world of good.
Unfortunately 99% of the population has forgotten manners are free.

Smokers were forced to go outside when the law changed, no issue with that, but you cant then dictate at what times a smoker is allowed to smoke in the beer garden. On a cold raining night in the middle of winter you would not have an issue with someone going to the beer garden for a puff, but because the suns out and you decide to use it you expect a new law stopping people?

And yeah there should be a designated smoking area and a beer garden shouldn't be it. If a pub has no beer garden smokers go to an area that nobody is drinking or eating ie out the front, so IMO the same should apply in the beer garden area of a pub.Last edited by Captain Trips; 27-05-2018 at 10:54 AM.

Would you expect to be asked by a guest in your home?
Well maybe it's just me then.Last edited by Captain Trips; 27-05-2018 at 11:07 AM.

One day my partner and I were in a beer garden and this guy sitting next to us started going radge, ranting about smoking and calling us “ignorant *******s”.
I mean, how rude! He could at least of tried asking us politely to stop smoking if he didn’t like it.

Probably for the peeve thread....seperate outside smoking areas/tables. As if we're not castigated enough.

In their defence, I'm sure they have no concept of how bad the smell is to others so I can understand their indifference when people complain about it.

Just saying then in certain circumstances you would expect to be asked. I expect to be asked at a shared table, at their own table fine at a shared table expect to be asked.

I hate smoking but outside is kind of open enough to smoke in my opinion, so suck it up...or not as the case may be ....
.....I am kind of being the stereotypical ignorant smoker by saying that and I do feel like that sometimes BUT seriouslly, I have just been diagnosed with COPD so it is something that needs to be slowly stopped as it is not nice seeing relatives dying because they cannot breath and I will be next unless I can cut it out.Last edited by andybev1; 27-05-2018 at 03:28 PM.

on another note, I was going to the counter of a shop where I had to go round the little maze to get to the front of the queue - some idiot woman entered the shop and went straight to the front of the queue by not going the prescribed way - she got daggers I tell you.
Also, in general, queueing is an art that is being lost in this country as the non queuing people who do not appreciate the reasons and rules come into the country - it has already been lost inLondon and annoyed me no ends when I lived there. This is not me being racist, i do think it is just a way of being polite and works.

For me it's whether they have the decency to make sure the smoke isn't wafting in my direction or if they are ignorant bassas who dont give a monkey's if their 2ns hand smoke is choking and blinding someone to death.

Kind of agree with the OP here. If they smokers had sat at a different table then I think they’re fair game to smoke, if they’ve sat at the same table then it’s just common courtesy to ask.
i don’t smoke myself, never have, but I do have friends who do, and in my experience they are all very conscious of where the smoke wafts, often they’ll move themself or get me to move so the smoke isn’t blowing towards me.

Doesn't surprise me as women are often the rudest in society in general, I hasten to add.
Utterly self absorbed. They rarely even acknowledge my opening a door for them. As for selfish driving....

I remember one of my friends was asked by someone" Do you mind if I smoke?"
He replied "Not at all. Do you mind if I fart in your face."
