mrbdolina,
Once my GF and I were at the Metro seeing Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and we were up at the front of the stage before they were about to come on.
Some guy was in front of us with two college looking girls, he was smoking and the whole time if the cig wasn't in his mouth, it was in his right hand being held over his shoulder - right in my face and right in my GF's face.
I got to the point that I was sick of it and said, "Hey man, could you keep that shit out of our face?" Maybe "shit" wasn't the right word to use, but frankly that's what they are to me.
So he starts talking to his friends after asking me "WHAT??" and they motion to the bouncer to complain about me.
He motions me to come over and says "Is there some kind of problem?" and I say, "No, I just asked him if he could keep his cigarette out of my face."
The one girl goes "That's not what you said!"
(and to this day I wish I had said: "Yeah, you're right, I said "shit" because that's what cigarettes are - don't act like you're offended, it won't work."
So the bouncer says to the kid, "That seems like a pretty reasonable request, he has the right to not have smoke in his face."
Then a few minutes later little miss art college goes "You know what? We were here first! And this is a place where people can smoke! And you just have to put up with that!"
I just stared at her and smiled and knodded my head the whole time and said "Just enjoy the show" and about that time the lights dimmed and Karen O blasted out onto the stage.
