Huge Pet Peeve

I have a GIANT pet peeve.
I ran into someone I know today in the parking lot of Sams Club..great to see him and his wife, but BOTH of them were smoking and I swear to God, neither one of them exhaled before speaking..it is sooo gross. Take a drag, blow it out, then speak-that's the way it works..don't take a drag, then have puffs of smoke drifting out of your mouth with every syllable. I don't understand why people do that-it freaks me out, and makes me miserable.And Yes..I said something to them about it!!!..arrrrrgh.

Better yet, take a deep puff of smoke, and do not exhale. That will result in less secondhand smoke for the rest of us to have to deal with.

Hey I smoke, but I NEVER smoke in my house, nor around anyone else..it's a private matter, me and my butt(s).

Last night I was annoyed by my pool opponent, who kept taking the chalk off the pool table after his shot and leaving it on the scorekeeper's table after.

My pet peeve.

At my local bar, people like to take it back to their table.

At least your bars have chalk!

I always hate it when the powder cone thingy is nothing but a useless nub.

I'd be hacked if someone blew smoke in my face like that too.

Powder and chalk are terrible for your stick. If you're using a bar stick, though, it doesn't really matter. Those things are beaters anyway.
