Dear stupid people smoking inside the bus shelter:

There's a little mini-mall with a restaurant the Mr and I go to on a regular basis.

More times than not, there are one or two people smoking right outside the entrance to the restaurant. Not the hair place. Not the dry cleaners. Not the convenience store.

The restaurant.

And then there's a Family Dollar store across the street where the workers gather in small groups to smoke on their breaks. In the handicapped area. Right next to the door. Most likely because there's a guard rail there for them to sit/lean on. And they're usually in the very first spot near the door, so we usually end up parking out in the general area even though Mr Pipi has a handicapped placard...instead of disturbing these poor little 20-somethings who have to sit while they smoke. And so we don't have to walk through clouds of stink just to get in the door.

As a former smoker myself, I understand how difficult it can be to quit. However, what I don't understand is lack of basic common sense/courtesy.
