I can sort of sympathise with some of the OP, but if the words used were as quoted, then your language and rant at them was equally as rude.

They are and remain a couple of ignorant fannies. What I said to them and the language used and them deciding its ok to light up cancer giving smelly fags in a strangers company isn't even comparable. Disgusting ignorant and rude couple who IMO in their late 50s early 60s should know better.Last edited by Captain Trips; 30-05-2018 at 12:12 PM.

I agree that they should have a) asked that it was okay to sit at the same table as you, and b) asked if they could smoke so close to you (without knowing the size of the table/space involved, I'll assume it's relatively small) - but your reaction was not proportional.Mon the Hibs.

I’m too rude to read through all of this so not sure if this is appropriate. I used to word at Tesco Bank and I had never been in the company I do many rude people.
The amount of times I’d hold a door open for someone and not get a response of any sort was astounding. On one occasion I opened a door on two occasions for a woman holding a coffee cup in ken hand and a laptop in the other and she never said a thing. Nobodies how she would have managed if I hadn’t held then door open for her.
I wasn’t looking for a tip or a big glowing reference, just a simple thanks would have been nice.

I recently stopped smoking and now use a vape to control my cravings. What has amazed me is, as I regain my sense of smell, I realise what a bunch of smelly *******s use public transport in Edinburgh. A quick wash and a splash of deoderant wouldn't go amiss most mornings.
And as for the OP calling anybody rude. To react to their rudeness with what amounts to a verbal assault negates his right to complain.

As some have said.. look at it from their perspective. I can imagine an old boy posting on a forum about some younger fellae producing a rather unsavoury outburst at him while he enjoyed a drink and a smoke with his missus.
As for the aforementioned folk that don't acknowledge a door being held for them (or similarly a driver not acknowledging someone letting them pass).. they are worse than fannies .. one of my biggest pet hates.

How about youngish couple just out for a drink in the sun pop into pub plenty of seats 10 mins later another couple arrive just sit down and start smoking. I don't give a toss if you are allowed to smoke or they were not doing anything wrong they were out of order potentially having our clothes reek of fag smoke.
I'm not interested in their perspective as they were only interested in themselves which they proved with selfish behaviour. Disgraceful behaviour from them.Last edited by Captain Trips; 30-05-2018 at 02:44 PM.

Were you not capable of politely asking them whether they would mind sitting a little further away from you if they were planning to smoke? Civility appears to have been lost a little on both sides here.

You're quite a touchy and sarcy individual eh?
I actually agree with the general principle you set-out about people asking to join a table (whether smoking or not I find it the norm to ask out of politeness).
I just don't agree that they're the nasty auld smokers while you're some sort of good guy for mouthing-off at them in such a way.
If you're not interested in other perspectives, why did you make a thread telling us about it and ask the question on what we thought?

When did I say was good guy? They were a rude and arrogant couple I saw them you didn't you can decide on them all you like.
I started a thread to hear other people's stories of rude behaviour in different circumstances. Not a full on analysis on the couple and what they were actually like and scenarios made up of what they were.
I don't give a toss about what they thought.

Generally, when you want things to change asking is the first step.
Just because you're not doing something wrong doesn't mean that someone else is though. I, and many others, have said that they could have been much more polite about how they went about things but the only time someone was bang out of order in this scenario was when you ranted and swore at them. If you had politelly asked them to not smoke so close/at your table then this thread would have went very differently.Mon the Hibs.

I was trying to work it out and I think CT means if the said couple aren't doing anything wrong (like others are apparently insinuating) then why should he need to ask them to do anything. Of course.. similar to me, you didn't say the old couple weren't at fault, only that CT's reaction was rude and not befitting of the situation.
To be honest I was too scared to clarify the above for fear of being called a fanny

I asked do you think they were rude you say above they could have been more polite that's good as that's all I was looking for an answer to that.
My reaction does not make what they did any worse or better. If you think they were rude fine we agree if not we do not agree and plenty of people have said why they think what they did was fine, that's the discussion really on how we agree or disagree on smoking over people.
What I did in reaction is totally irrelevant.Last edited by Captain Trips; 30-05-2018 at 03:40 PM.

But yes, I think we broadly agree that the other couple should have acted differently.Mon the Hibs.

It might be as you describe. Or it might be that they'd just had a major shock. Or it might be that they'd just had a **** in the toilets. Or...Or...Or...
Along with others on here, I hate when people don't thank me for holding the door open for them. Now and then, though, I have to remind myself that they may have **** going on in their lives and saying "thank you" is the last thing on their minds.
Context is important.

We can't get into folks heads and go maybe they had this or that going on. I can't give context to it in any other way than it was simply rude and arrogant.
It is rude and arrogant regardless of reason. You can only give context if you know all the facts in any situation you describe.
So just never bother with rude behaviour as they may have had a crap day or worse how are you supposed to know that? Sorry but that is utter nonsense.Last edited by Captain Trips; 30-05-2018 at 09:17 PM.

So you say you don't like it when somebody does not say thanks but now and again you think they may have a lot on mind. Can I ask how you go about deciding who to be annoyed at or not?Last edited by Captain Trips; 30-05-2018 at 09:31 PM.
