My vaping almost caused an accident!!

No, I wasn't dripping and driving...

I was walking through the Walmart parking lot yesterday on my way into the store. Someone in a large SUV was driving past me just as I took a big drag off my Tornado and blew out a plume. When they saw me drop it back down on my lanyard, they were staring and almost rear ended the person in front of them.

Cracked me up at the time, but I'd have felt bad if someone had gotten hurt.

OMG! That IS funny, but so not! LOL!! Gosh, I hope the public gets educated (doing my part) and we're not such a 'novelty' anymore. The only time I've ever 'stopped traffic' was last summer when I dyed my hair pink in a whim! Hee hee

In the past 19 months or so that I've been vaping, I've noticed a big change in public recognition. It started out with "WTH is that??" to "is that one of those electronic things? cool"

I don't think it'll be long before they are commonplace.

 

[MissKitty47]

Your lips to God's ears on that one! I think here in the Pac NorthWest we're a little slower to get new things, accept new ideas (my own personal experience, sorry to generalize everyone). Hopefully it won't be too much longer before every town has a brick and mortar vape shop, too!

We've had a brick and mortar store here for a couple of years now. I worked there for a year. I quickly got known as "that e-cig lady"

 

[ec!gg]

That is quite hilarious!

 

[ctourtelot]

LOL, Hz! You always make me smile, Girl! I can't wait to get down your way in the RV and meet up. Probably Spring 2012 for Florida.

 

[ctourtelot]

That's me, but with my PV in hand

I always get weird looks from people around Walmart when I'm walking in and take one last puff and put my "cig" in my pocket

 

[jbblack]

I know what you mean, Tom. I don't think I'll ever get tired of that look of "WTH???"

I had a gf once that used to cause many accidents, no she wasnt drop dead gorgeous, she was just scary behind the wheel. Wrote off a few cars. Left the keys in the door of my shiny 1.8 twin overhead cam sports astra...got nicked. I married that girl. Then she wrote me off too in the end.

Anyway enough of my sob story, your 'crash' was funny lol - I'm glad no'one was hurt

I've caused people to miss their green traffic lights because of stares at my vapor sticks; I like them bright and sparkly
