The smokers in this case were the majority of the group, yet it was the smokers who wished to accomodate the non-smokers.
My tolerance for prissy anti-smokers is getting very thin of late. Yesterday we were out, with the above mentioned friend, enjoying a few beers at one of our favorite waterfront places. We were sitting at the bar, OUTSIDE, with a nice crisp 20knot breeze blowing, and some jagoff started whining about cigarette smoke blowing in his direction. They were sitting at a table, not at the bar, and the waitress offered to move them to a different table. He refused because "they liked the view" from where they were sitting, but wanted the smoking stopped. The waitress informed him that smoking was permitted and they were welcome to move to a different table or inside to the non-smoking section.
He told her they would leave if the smoking wasn't stopped and she told him that was his perogative, but the people at the bar (nearly 30) were not doing anything wrong.
Long story short.......the entire bar broke, and surrounding tables, out in a round of applause as he and his 2 companions got up and left. The waitress got far more in tips than she would have from that table, because all of us at the bar tipped her, including the non-smokers.
