Man, ever since the first day of having this thing, it has been a blast bothering the heck out of everyone I can think of. And only because it shows them their own ridiculousness in their preconcieved notions--which I think is a good deed if anything is.
Places where lots of old people shop. Or rich people. They will give you the most horrible looks. It's as though they are really reaching to disturb you or make you feel so terribly ashamed that you acTually question the lifestyle you live.. with flaming self-hatred and a hopelessness for redemption. I really feel this is what these women (and sometimes men) are trying to convey to me when they see vapor pour from my lips right there in the middle of the pricey clothing store.
Aside from crude looks, I've run into a few bars to pass out music flyers, you know, bars being the places 'cool' people are most likely found in a place like Nebraska, and I will get people gawking like their jaws are chained to the floor, and then flipping me off as I leave.
So entertaining.
But the funny ones are "I don't think that's legal," "I'll have to ask my manager" (questionable IQ in this instance-- I do offer ample explaination), or my favorite.. "You can't smoke in here... GET OUT!!!!" hahahafkljdflk;djfl.
But the cops are totally cool about it. I sit there vaping away on the hill. They just pass me by. Not even a tall hill. More like the side of the hill. Totally visible. I've done it in gas stations with cops standing around. Not a word.
Hmm.
edit alright, there's some controversy over the meaning of my intentions. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but there is something exciting about walking into a store which you are doing nothing illegal or directly harmful (if you're offended it's your own fault, right? though take that with a grain of salt) and you know you will be surprised by people's impressions. Just as I enjoy walking through the downtown where people are everywhere, and singing (not horribly, mind you, I think I do an alright job). It's something fun to do that most people happen not to feel inclined to do. Maybe I'll inspire someone else to take it up as a hobby.
I should throw out there that the more places you're seen with one the more people will know about it, because someone always asks you. Even if some people aren't nice and just turn their noses up, they might hear about it later and think "oh, that chick musta had one of those, I guess they're getting more popular" instead of "well I haven't seen those they must not be blah blah blah"
Eh.
***edit2 apparently it's also necessary that I clarify I have straight long brown hair and wear jeans and teeshirts. I look absolutely normal as they come. I also act kindly toward people and do offer explanaitions and the people usually just turn their heads and don't want to hear it. I'd appreciate it if everyone stopped attacking the character they have built and called "incineradma" and instead read what i said without making implications. Thank you and way to go completely off topic, everyone.
