Lmao @ Ignorance

[MikeL76]

So I'm sitting at a picnic table at the local park with my children, watching them and vaping. I hear a couple at a table a little ways from me "what is that he has?" Then "is he smoking .........?" "I don't know".

Lmao. I could go educate them, but my warped sense of humor is just enjoying them sitting there not sure what I'm doing.

In situations like that I'd say, "Oh I have terrible asthma so can't leave the house without my preventative medicine..."

Then I'd just walk away trying not to laugh...but I'm evil like that...

Or you could just raise your vape and nod.

Were they smokers? If not, ignore them. If they are, it's a good way to strike up a conversation...

That's exactly what I would've done.

Nope or I probably would have...

Dangit I always kind of want to have that happen to me to hear somebody wondering what the heck I'm doing (sloth loves being msyerious) but nobody up here gives a damn what i do they just smile and nod like always

Obviously they've been talking to my mother, lol!

I had something similar happen a month back. The guy was being a jack about it though so I called him out on it. He didn't think I'd heard him and started apologizing profusely. I told him, "I don't want an apology from you, I want you to be informed before you make broad-stroked assumptions." That sat him down and shut him up but good.

I was in a Frenilla coma hitting the Reo in the car yesterday and a Jeep pulled up to the side of my car. Normally some shmoe gives me a dirty look or a thumbs up like I'm vaping weed when I'm not. But yesterday as I was blowing out a big exhale, I decided to turn and look and to my surprise it was a dude around my age holding up his mod, smiling, and exhaling a huge rip at exactly the same time Kind of the opposite of the OP, but I feel you, although it's nice to know that people are at least starting to give you the "good nod" instead of the 1000 yard stare

I get "looks" ALL of the time vaping in public. Because I was a covert smoker the entire time I smoked I guess it's understandable but seriously?

In follow up to the OP my latest was walking with a friend to lunch. I noticed a young female student vaping a nice looking little box mod, got her eye gaze and gave her a collegial smile. My friend said "I just HATE it when someone smokes here" to which I answered "well she's not smoking she's vaping" which at least got a "oh well that's okay but I still hate it when people smoke here"! Yay! This friend doesn't even know I vape and she's pretty conservation so I was pretty thrilled with her comment.
