Is it normal to be awe-struck by socially-accepted rudeness?

  • I don't think people should be rude first. Wouldn't it be worth it to ask politely to see if they'd move or put out their cigarette?

      • Isn't that the whole point of the post? That smokers who aren't rude and who do acquiesce shouldn't be treated rudely?

        If someone did that they would be rude. I can understand being upset by that but they're not the sort of person the Q is about, I think.

    • I didn't say that people SHOULD be rude, just that it's understandable. Sometimes, when people are in pain, they're rude. I get that.

      • Yeah it can be hard sometimes to stay positive and be polite when we're bothered by things. I think the OP has a point in that people should try to be nice, but I understand that it could be difficult when someone is suffering.

        Mostly I think people should just try to be more kind to others, whether it's about smoking, not smoking, or anything else.
