It Drives Me Nuts When
Posted on February 11, 2005 by Ching under Life.
It drives me nuts when people have no consideration for the health of their children. Last week as Brian and I were leaving Felipe’s this family of four walks in. The family consisted of the mom, the dad and their two young children. I overheard the host ask their smoking preference. Much to my surprise, the couple asked to be seated in the smoking section. A rational person, such as myself, expected them to forgo smoking during the meal for the sake of their children. Naturally, I said something about it to Brian as soon as we got in the car. I was disgusted that some people could care so little about their children’s health and well-being. Brian said he was not at all surprised at their choice of seating because he could smell the cigarette smoke odor on them as they walked in. It just bothered me that they would expose these poor, young kids to second-hand smoke just because they cannot go without a cigarette for an hour. I guess they probably smoke inside their homes while watching TV with the kids so it probably doesn’t even matter that they prefer to sit in the smoking section of restaurants. I don’t know. I guess it just makes me mad. Sometimes I think that we treat our pets better than some people treat their children. It’s a sad, sad world we live in.
