Idiots who make ALL vapers look bad......

[LeftofCenter]

You're obviously talking about the "Entitled Generation " who think it's OK to do whatever they want wherever they want. And yes I agree it is that kind of stuff that gives all vapors a bad image in the public eye.

In my opinion it doesn't even matter if vapor is totally harmless, it's just wrong to force others to breath in our vape. Of course the indignant responses will follow soon.

Sorry, but the "entitled generation" thing getting blamed for every darn thing is getting old. This type of behavior has been going on since time began.

I am well above 30, in fact my son would be considered of the "entitled generation" and most of the parents I knew as a kid didn't take their kids into consideration all that much, they did what they wanted. We were a generation left home alone at young ages and we ducked clouds of smoke as the adults sat around drinking and smoking to their hearts content. We were shooed outside so we were out of their hair. And it was much the same for them when they were kids.

What I am getting at here is what this guy did, while stupid, has not a thing to do with being entitled..... just stupid.

Hmm bring the kid into the B&M and be irresponsible................ or.............................
Leave the kid in the Car and get arrested for Neglect..................Hmmm.........

I do agree with commenting to some Genius that thinks Blowing Clouds in anyone's Face is freely acceptable. In the case of an infant unable to take care of their self..........Pure arrogant Stupidity. A public display of look at how Dumb I can act.

Then again..............Maybe he was vaping Mothers Milk............ (j/k)

Someone who blows clouds bigger than your normal vaper. Which was edited out after all the disclaimers about it not being about the clouds but FOR THE CHILDREN!

No, I was making a comparison between the "LOOK AT ME" vapers and the coal rollers. Coal rollers are kinds who take diesel trucks, modify them to dump raw fuel out the exhausts in the form of awful, heavy black smoke onto people, car windows, etc. I'm glad I didn't have my son in the car with me when someone did this in my window last summer.

Order online with the kid next to you or wait till, you have "alone" time to go to the B&M.

I agree with your post so don't take this the wrong way but this post by the OP has everything to do with bad parenting and not cloud size. Which is getting kind of old on these forums that big clouds equal irresponsible and rude.

Yep, and I have already been ruler smacked today. I will leave the OP to save the children while I go chuck huge clouds in the privacy of my own home away from baby lungs.

^^^^This exactly. It seems like once or twice a week, we have a thread where our fellow vapers feel the need to insult or bash those who enjoy clouds, and subsequently blame anything and everything on those people.

The best part of it all is that in these threads, it is ALWAYS mentioned that "they" have tattoos.

I have to admit though, it is somewhat entertaining.

I completely agree this guy was an idiot, but he should be seen only as a bad parent, not a bad vaper.

I saw a woman at a bar once, she had been there for at least 6 drinks and it was about 4pm. In walked a kid about 12 years old with an infant, the kid hands the infant to the now drunk woman who proceeds to breastfeed the infant!!!

Would you say this woman is a bad parent or that she gives drinkers a bad name?

(yes I called authorities)

Agreed. And as someone who has tattoos it gets a little old. But then again I am used to people not being able to see past what's on the outside to the person beneath. It does make you wonder what their "private" conversations are like though since they are so discriminating in public.

This reminds me....we haven't had a hipster-bashing thread in over a week. C'mon guys and gals, you're falling behind.

Try not to worry about it. I got rule smacked in the first few days on the forum for really nothing. I am surprised I made it to ECF Veteran because I was going to leave over it. Still have not for gave the smackie for that and never will. CHEERS!

LOL! I have to admit that thread was fun, but found out I was an over aged gaming hipster.

Ironic that the people that " get tired" of the "bashing" and drama on the Internet, are the same ones that throw logs on the fire. Kinda like people that try to justify vaping by saying its healthier than smoking lol.


'Oh hai guys, I'm a cloud chaser all day, I inhale tons and tons of vapor a day, oh but it's healthier than smoking, right?'

Yeah, real healthy. ...lol

Understood. When my son was little I had purple hair, tattoos and was a bit "odd" looking. People assumed I was a permissive and overall bad parent. My son said Sir and Ma'am, please and thank you. He was only allowed 1 hour of TV and then it was only shows I deemed appropriate. He was a good kid and has grown into a fine young man. Go figure.

Bait ignored have a good evening all, got a steak on the grill I need to attend to.

Well, here goes... first of all, it wasn't really "public." It was a vapor shop that caters to individuals that vape. That makes a difference in my mind, maybe not yours. Second, it does indicate a bad parenting decision on behalf of whomever was the parent in this case, which is unclear to me from your original post. But if we eliminate all those that make bad parenting decisions, not many would be parents, including me, unfortunately...I made my share. Third, I'm from the generation where most of the time time I just mind my own business. Not sure what I would have done in this case, but I may or may not have said a thing. Not my baby, not my shop...none of my business. Finally, you have to decide whether or not to frequent this business again or not. I would hazard a guess that the owner of the shop probably wasn't even there and has no clue what was going on.

I've visited many B&M shops, and generally I make a snap decision upon entering whether or not I want to purchase anything or get out. I vote with my feet. There's where the real power is. If people stop shopping there, stop spending $$, then there will either be a change in management or the shop will close. Free market rules.

Just my opinion...and you know the rest of that saying....

I remember a guy on youtube saying he picked up a slight nico buzz from hanging around in an enclosed area where a lot of clouds were being thrown about. Imagine that little baby exposed to all that. You are 100 percent right in your reaction and I wouldnt think any less of you if you happened to sock that guy across the mouth.

Good parenting, and to be honest some of the finest men and women I know have plenty of tattoo's they are the soldiers who protect our rights to goof off on a vaping forum.

Sounds like a discussion with management is in order.

 

[Robino1]

Please, please, please...let us not let this become a bashing of perceived stereotypes.

Was the person a bad parent? We can judge till the cows come home. Won't change a thing.

Has nothing to do with whatever a persons size, shape, race, sex or personal expression. It is about an adult not equipped to deal with fatherhood in a responsible manner.
