Smokers
Yes, I do realize you have every right to smoke outdoors. Yes, I do realize the Ohio ban is only indoor. But really, do you have to light up 5 cigarettes right next to me with the wind heading into my face over a 2-3 hour time frame? I was at the Dayton Air Show yesterday and I think that due to the nature of the show and the close proximity to other people, smoking should not be allowed. I was in the front row in the pavilion and there were to men to the left of me (upwind) that had overtaken an empty table and one man smoked at least 5 cigarettes during a span of 2-3 hours. Not only that, but as I said there was a strong wind and I was sitting downwind. I am very sensitive to smoke (even more so now that the smoking ban is in effect) and I had to use my shirt and hands to cover up my nose every time the person lit up. I was going to go back and complain to personnel but on my way I noticed 3 or 4 smokers and I realized it would be a lost cause. I wrote an email to the air show people to suggest making the event non-smoking for the courtesy of the rest of their patrons. People can wait to light up and certainly don't need to stuff MY lungs with half a pack. It's not like I could move as the tables are assigned. They shouldn't have even been sitting there in the first place.
Aviation Truck
Also, there was an Aviation truck that was parked in front of us (past the fence in the performing area) nearly all of the show and since we weren't allowed to stand near the fence, there were some parts of the show we missed completely. The people in the Aviation truck were not working...they were standing and taking photos which was very disruptive. Luckily for the F-22 display, there was someone that came and told them to move. The only thing keeping us there was the F-22, otherwise we wouldn't have come or stayed.
The Birdie
I understand some people aren't able to stay within the speed limits, but seriously, you don't need to stick out your middle finger to say I'm driving too slow. A couple of weeks ago I was doing the speed limit or a little over (speed limit was 55 and I was going 57ish) in a very highly monitored area by police (hence why I was on cruise). A car whizzes by, cuts me off, and the driver sticks out his finger. What on earth was his problem? Maybe he's just pissed that there are speed limits for a reason, because people like him create accidents (did I mention that there was a car on my right side he almost hit to cut in front of me?). URRGH
