Wow, that sucks. No more new car smell!

Yeah ask first. He/she may end up homeless one day and living out of their car and they may not want it smelling like vanilla!

And please, please quit saying that the afterproduct of such devices is "just" water vapor. Unless you're using a cartridge that is "just" water, then I promise you that there is more than "just" water vapor in what you spew.

So, you couldn't just turn around and tell the guy "Please don't smoke that in my car"?

Obviously the guy didn't know you could smell it, but so what? How about politely telling him?

And if he will not stop using his e-cig, you could have always pull over and invited him to exit your car?

Seriously, what's the problem here? That you don't have the balls to handle a simple problem in a polite way and have to get all "passive / aggressive" in an anonymous forum?

Yet another dysfunctional douche bag vents in The Stranger.

Cars smell awful, in particular new ones.

@5,

Anon specifically mentions calling out the dumbass nicotine addict. The complaint is over smoking in the car without asking first.

To be fair, at least it wasn't a glass pipe, and propane torch.

Why do e-smokers always look so smug and self-satisfied? Whether they are vaping tobacco or weed on the street or outside a club, there is this little " look at me" smirk on their faces as though they are toddlers trying to get mommy's attention before going down the slide.

#8 pontificated:

And I'm saying busting a gut about it @ I, Anon is an extreme over-reaction.

The simplest and most appropriate response would have been to invite the smoker not to smoke the "vap", and if that failed, invite the smoker to exit the vehicle.

It's not really about smoking in someone's car. It's about having basic respect for someone else shit. Too many people think just about themselves. We are a ME oriented society.

If you want to smoke your e-cig fine. But if you're in someones car or home have the fucking courtesy to ASK that person if you can fuck up their shit by spewing stinky smoke all over it. Basic shit people. Respect other people.

Of course the passenger should have asked, but any level-headed person would not have flipped out with such an obnoxious I, Anon. Seriously, good grief!

And, this person is enough of a "friend" that I, Anon has volunteered to be the Designated Driver, and I, Anon had no clue that his passenger used a vaporizer? Really?

Jesus Christ for fucks sake get over yourself. I use an e-cig, they are silly little devices that do help a lot of people like my wife quit. Sure you should ask out of politeness but lay off the bitchiness, e-cigs don't smell anything like the real thing and any smell will dissipate almost immediately.

But really, this had to offend you enough to write in to I-Anonymous? We've mollycoddled a new generation to the point that you are going out and looking for somthing to be offended about: SHIT SOMEONE USED AN E-CIG IN MY NEW CAR!

How about: "I'm fucking lucky to be ABLE to afford a new car, live in a country with rule of law and political stability and have a solid basic quality of life."

Find out what's important dude. Many more important things to bitch about. A little more introspection and the politeness to turn the other cheek before you launch this broadside would make you less of a self-absorbed wanker...

Omfg, it is not a permanent smell unless he spilled his e-juice all over your car which I doubt you whiny little cunt bag. Yeah it would have been nice for him to ask, but not as serious as you are making it sound.

I, Anon is just some over coddled Seattle Hipster who thinks PBR and plaid shirts are the height of urban coolness...

@15: Bitching about small things does not take away from the importance of big things. Grow up... you shouldn't ask out of politeness. You should ask because it's indefensible not to.

Don't vape around kids or indoors, I guess incardoors counts. Come on.

I mean yeah, you should always ask, that'd be quite decent I must say.

Consider buying a car where the driver's door panel controls absolutely everything.

@15, 19, AZ and the countless other self-absorbed pieces of shit whining about this individual's valid complaint.

When a person (or people) is a douche bag, who only gives a shit about their great new thing, there shiny new vape-o-mizer with the adjustable thing and the four flavor blended blah blah blah, and the excuse that "it's helping me quit...making me a better person" tries to tell you that you are over-reacting when they decide to take a hit, puff, drag, toke, pull or whatever the fuck you do with that thing... punch them square in the face. Just cave their fucking head in. Why? Because you are just exercising your right to see just how fucking hard you can punch them. No big deal. After all...it's your new great hobby.

There are people walking around my job vaping...like it is totally okay, because it produces no smoke. Who the fuck do you people think you are? Where the hell do you get off?

Here is a tip... put on your Google glasses, puff your vape, get you bitcoins and go buy a fucking clue. Otherwise prepare to be taught a valuable lesson in respect... ASSHOLES!

And speaking of "self-absorbed pieces of whining shit" ... The shoe fits, JustSayNo, it's yours.

Hey look, Zifferelli admonished me... The narcissist speaks...

Christ, smokers are the worst. Every goddamn time I give one a ride on condition they do not to smoke in my car they light up and hang their heads and cig out the window like that counts as not smoking in my car. Which is why the first ride is always the last. Enjoy walking home, weezy f**ker.

Pop open another can of Pabst, "JustSayNo", you'll need it as you sort out your latest haul of plaid shirts from Value Village.

@ Yucca Flower -

Vaporizers are not the same as butts, but beyond that, apparently you hang out with (and give rides to) douche bags. Accept some personal responsibility to not hang out with these types of people, or at least either not give them rides or be a little more forceful about behavior in your car?

I know, it's hard not to let people walk all over you, and it's soooo satisfying to bitch and complain about it later while accepting no responsibility...

I am sure you find yourself to be clever Ziff. You know... the way you saw right through me, and instinctively knew that I was a PBR swilling, Plaid shirt wearing, value village shopping hipster is amazing! You clearly possess a keen intellectuality and finely honed powers of perception. However, while I do drink the occasional PBR, I don't wear plaid shirts, nor do I shop at VV. I also don't find any of these activities repugnant or valid detractors to a person's persona. This is probably because I'm not some smug, self-righteous, vape-puffing douchebag like yourself.

I know it's hard not to let people express themselves without the need to be a complete ass hat Arty... and of course it's soooo satisfying to call them out as whiners and bitchers, but the reality is that here in Seattle, people are trained to not be outwardly confrontational...hence the large amount of passive aggressive mopes here in the PNW. In my car, if someone puffed their little vapor gizmo in my brand new ride without asking me first, I would feign interest...ask to see it...and promptly throw it out the fucking window. How's that for accepting responsibility?

Here's the deal, "JustSayGo", I'm not interested in you. No matter how you stalk me in the forums, I will not sleep with you, EVER. Honestly, I suggest you seek therapy before you embarrass yourself any further.

Hahaha. Your insecurities are showing Ziff. I don't embarrass easily, nor would you ever be lucky enough to sleep with me boyo... But you can dream if that's what floats your boat... Oh and btw... I've seen you post that same old tired response to others that have challenged you here... You really need some new material.

"JustSayGo", your pathetic obsession with me is yet another manifestation of your sociopathic narcissism. You are in serious need of professional help. I thank God you don't have my address, at least I only have to put up with your stalking here on the Interwebs. I'm not gay, so please stop trying to get in my pants.

You're weak and feable redirects of your tiredly pathetic diatribe smacks of your own desperation Arthur. I'm not stalking you... You are always right here... Running your mouth! Surprise that you were the fist to comment on the newest IA. SAD!

You need to get a grip JustSayGo, your obsession with me is embarrassing you. You need to understand that there is no "you and I", and we will never be together.

Having no friends and being a ridiculous caricature of a man must be a hard and bitter pill Arthur Zifferelli... the most ironic thing is that if you disappeared tomorrow, no one would even miss you.

You're right I-Anon. It would have been better if he had lit a real cig up.

*eyeroll*

Betcha $20 you couldn't smell it one day later.

Grow up.

@38... He's a douche and as you are posting anonymously, your opinion doesn't mean shit. Especially if your initials are AZ... of course, we wouldn't know since you are, as i said before, posting anonymously....
