So me and my girlfriend are travelling the US and we visited the space center in Huntsville, Alabama a couple of weeks ago. We were reading some info on the shuttle they have on display and next to us a dad was doing the same together with his daughter. We were sort of walking the same route and I could see them curiously studying the spinner w/ evod hanging around my neck. They met up with mother and son and I observed them studying me and my device further, sensing there was some judging going on. Now, I was wearing my
{BANNED BAND} cap ( great band if you're into
{CERTAIN TYPE OF MUSIC}) at the time, so I can't really blame them. Reading another sign, the whole damn family came up to us and the father, in a quite accusing tone asked me 'Is that a real pipe you have there? My kids were wondering.'. Your kids? Really? So he was playing the whole blame game (ie. if my children are ever to smoke
{SOMETHING BAD} in their life, I'm blaming you) in one hostile outburst. However, I told him politely it is a e-cigarette and how I quit smoking cold turkey after 14 years. He seemed to chill down a bit and we had a somehow tense but okay conversation about our travels with him and his family. Of course it turned out they are extremely christian and of course he had to throw in a 'Remember that Jesus loves you' when we left. All in all a fascinating experience topped with the irony in fundamentalists hanging out at the space center
This is however the only close to negative feedback I've gotten since i bought my beloved e-cig in Texas a month ago, and going through some of the most conservative states in the US (mostly with that cap on) I must say that's surprisingly good
Being my virgin post on ECF, be nice, okay?
