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.

today in the supermarket a couple had their trolley in the way of the aisle and for some reason it really ticked me off.

I hate rude rude people so to stop them being rude I’m rude to them because it’s not rude when I’m rude because they were rude first and me being rude is irrelevant

Let's pretend I never said anything then, let's make this real easy ok? Let's pretend it wasn't even me OK? Let's really make it simple let's say its you how about that?
Would you find it rude if sitting at a table with quite a few spare tables around for a couple to not acknowledge you and sit down and then smoke right next to you.
Would that be rude to you or not?
If Yes great, If not fair enough.Last edited by Captain Trips; 01-06-2018 at 01:52 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.

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.

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.

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.
