Me and smoking---I"m choking here!

I'm a smoker. Not the heaviest smoker in the world but I'm a smoker. I think I do it out of boredom. At work, I don't smoke and have no problems. When I'm around my son, I don't smoke.

The strange thing about me and smoking, When I'm not smoking, I hate the smell of smoke. A smoker who hates the smell of smoke...odd.

So, I"m sitting here at Safeway in the corner on a bench. The bench is around 12 feet long with 3 tables in front of it. I'm sitting at one of the ends.

A elderly gentleman comes in and reeks of smoke. It is so freaken strong! Its all in his clothe and smells awful! I smelled him when he was 10 feet away. And now, instead of taking the other table farthest from me, he decides to take the table right next to me!!! I"m choking here!!

I'm typing, and he's 3 feet away. One leg crossed over the other. He's bobbing one leg up and down. Taking his sweet time eating something he bought in the deli section. If i had to guess, he is clearly homeless. But even homeless people should respect my space.

That's it, I"m taking a break and going outside to have a smoke.
