sam-cParticipantchef- perhaps Fancy Nan got thrown off by your reference to a ‘play area’. there is a nice kids play area directly adjacent to one of the parking lots at westcrest. ( up top near the small dog area of the OLA)

KBearParticipantchef, I wonder if any of Cancer Lady’s clients are WSB readers and will recognize her from your story. Here’s hoping…

Fancy NanParticipantPeople who fart in public are next.
October 7, 2009 at 5:55 pm #678501
JoBParticipantLOL..
my family just got three strikes.. guess we’re out :)))
i don’t fart in public if i can help it but as i age the control thing gets more difficult :(
hubby smokes.. tho he chooses to politely take himself to the nearest trash receptacle… well away from doorways to indulge his habit.
the dogs fart in public… and that is the least of it.. LOL.. at least i can bag that..
recapturing a fart is like chasing a rainbow for the pot of gold :-<
but good luck with that :)))

Fancy NanParticipantBy the way, the issue for me is people who bring their dogs to public parks where children play and take them off leash and let them run wild around the play areas. A little dangerous for the small children.
The other issue I have is with people who smoke and cause others to have to walk through or breath their second hand smoke, which is toxic and just smells nasty. What I have always found fascinating is that most smokers hate the smell of cigarettes on their clothing. They rarely smoke inside their homes or their cars (unless they are exceptionally clueless) and do not want that smell on their clothes, car interiors, or in their homes. But they typically have no issue with sharing their smoke with other. It is truly a shame that this product is so addictive. At least we are more informed than earlier years.
As for the farts….well, no need to really go there.

JoBParticipantFancyNan..
you and i agree completely about off leash dogs. Leashes are protection for both people and dogs.
i just wish unleashed children wouldn’t run up to my dogs without permission:(
hubby smokes outside and away from doorways to protect the health of his wife and others who are affected by tobacco smoke residue.. not because he doesn’t like the smell… He doesn’t smell it at all… tho the residue is bad enough that i want to place a hook outside for a coat dedicated to smoking in the winter because to me it reeks. The poor man literally has to wash his hands to touch his wife… he pays a heavy price for his habit.
Smokers for the most part don’t smoke to annoy other people.. they smoke because they have become addicted to nicotine and for whatever reason are unable to permanently quit.
When people don’t walk around clusters of smokers on the sidewalk, they really don’t have any other place to blow their smoke but where those who pass will breathe it …
it’s a shame that there aren’t places similar to cigar bars where they can light up in peace.. they really were forced outside where they have little choice but to share with the rest of us.
Most tobacco smokers are a lot more aware of the impact of their smoking on others than those who douse themselves with their favorite scent and set out to get lucky:(
I am glad that i am no longer forced to share indoor spaces with smokers.. but blaming smokers for polluting outdoor spaces really begs the question of where they can safely light up.

Junction JoeParticipantOK then, no unleashed, smoking, flatulent dogs roaming wild in West Seattle parks where children play. I think we can all agree on that one.
October 8, 2009 at 1:24 am #678505
JoBParticipantjunction Joe..
you make me giggle…
but i bet there is still someone who doesn’t agree..
maybe the dogs.

datamuseParticipantGreat, now I can’t get that painting of dogs playing poker out of my head. They’re probably gambling, too!
October 8, 2009 at 7:58 am #678509
LeroniusmonkfishMemberAnd I have an issue when rock stars like Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam can walk onto stage smoking a cigarette exposing tens of thousands of paying fans to his second hand smoke! I covered my mouth and nose when they played years ago at Memorial Stadium (outdoors) but when he displayed that same kind of loathing disrespect towards his fans at the Key Arena (indoors) I just had to up and leave the show.

chefMemberLeronius – inhale the smoke at the concert and you’ll feel MUCH BETTER!
October 8, 2009 at 4:53 pm #678511
JoBParticipantLeroniusmonkfish…
really? one cigarette at the Memorial Stadium or in the Key Arena? You must have had REALLY good seats.
Either you jest or it was the principle of that one cigarette.
Admitted, he was breaking the law… but to an addict, satisfying their addiction has nothing to do with showing disrespect. It really is all about them and their need.
If that was what it took for him to be able to perform and his music wasn’t worth that to you then i understand… but it it highly unlikely that his decision had anything to do with respect.
October 8, 2009 at 5:05 pm #678512
LeroniusmonkfishMemberI jest! I’m a dirty, filthy, kicked to the curb in the rain smoker…
October 8, 2009 at 5:13 pm #678513
Schmitz Park DadParticipantWonder of Eddie reads the blog…Eddie, you out there?
October 8, 2009 at 5:34 pm #678514
LeroniusmonkfishMemberWell, if he does I want him to know that I was only joking! Pearl Jam is one of my favorite bands and he has all of my respect. My post was just another attempt to show how vehemently anti-smokers can be towards those of us who do.
I was actually offered a ticket to their recent Key Arena show by a friend who got the tickets personally from EV…my friends mother recently passed away and EV out of kindness, friendship and sympathy gave his family tickets. Alas, I now live in AZ and couldn’t afford the plane ticket to come back to Seattle for the show….
But if/when they come through Phoenix I will be first in line for tickets…

JiggersMemberI’m a fan of chefs,bartenders and waiters who smoke during breaks. Give me more love in that drink or nachos baby!! Don’t wash your hands please. The food is not as tasty if you have clean hands and fingers.
October 8, 2009 at 5:46 pm #678516
LeroniusmonkfishMemberDon’t patronize those establishments. Or, bring it to managements attention with the threat of contacting the Dept. of Health….
October 8, 2009 at 7:21 pm #678517
JiggersMemberLeron..Newsflash..That would be about 95% of those establishments in West Seattle you are talking about.
October 8, 2009 at 8:03 pm #678518
JoBParticipantLeroniusmonkfish..
hard to find rain in phoenix except for monsoon season.. do you save up to satisfy your summer cravings?
October 8, 2009 at 8:04 pm #678519
JoBParticipantjiggers…
anyone who works around food should know to wash their hands frequently before and while handling food..
they should also know not to double dip with the tasting spoon.
alas.. too few do.
October 8, 2009 at 8:12 pm #678520
bluebirdMemberHow is that someone is at 95% of restaurants in WS at all times, following employees in and out of the building, out of view into the kitchen, observing whether they wash their hands?
I find the implied stalking more worrisome than smokers.
Edit: And if you are exaggerating, that’s the whole problem with this entire thread.
