He's depressed, has no self esteem and works in a dead end job. He needs to get his attention some where. It's the least we can do.

Dead end would suggest that I'm going to stay here. Which I don't plan on doing for very long. I have a future that's at least somewhat planned out and fiarly bright actually.

Unlike where you work .... oh wait.... And how old are you ... oh yeah... that's right...

I remember you talking about the "Goberment took my money", cutting your pay down to close to min wage. How does it feel being what 50+ and having fry cooks and burgur flippers making more than you do and actually having a future ahead of them?

Not depressed now anyway. Just bored and neffing like the rest of us.

Had a guy like that come into my store the other day. Smell lingered for quite a while.

PSA: If you REALLY want to piss your rental guy off, smoke like that in the car. Had one come back that had ash all over the seats. Thing just reeked. There's not enough Fabreez in the world that gets that smell out.

Because of the extremely small diameter of smoke particles they can get into and infuse everything and like you say it will never come out again.

Nope read it perfectly. Again didn't say you were still making that and you did mention you were going to be getting back pay:

"
Come July 1st my employer, the great state of kalifornia, will likely drop my pay to the Federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Since I make substantially more than that, can I collect any kind of unemployment insurance?
We will get back pay when the budget gets passed but I'd really like to stick it to the man.
(ya, I know, good luck with that)
"

btw how much DO you make?

how in the world do people complain constantly about the smell of smoke when people with BO are 10x worse and more offensive.

Not trying to offend, sorry if I did. Just making an observation.

There was this wonderful scene in the movie Cigarettes and Coffee with Tom Waits and Iggy Pop.

Tom Waits: The beauty of quitting is, now that I've quit, I can have one, 'cause I've quit.

have your tonsils yanked out, that will really put the damper on your smoking.

It's true that I don't like to be around cigarette smoke but I really don't have anything against people personally. You are free to do whatever you like and I would normally be the last person to bring this up and would NEVER do so in person. But there is a big difference between smoking a few cigs a week and this guy that I meet. He must be doing at least 3 or 4 packs a day I would guess. When you can't get within 5 feet of someone without coughing then yeah something isn't right. 😉
