    Smoke in hospitals, grocery stores and airplanes.

      Last company I was with bought out an old datacenter that was used by AT&T back in the day. I was amazed at the number of ash tray's bolted onto the walls, all over the place. Surprisingly, there was no smoking where the actual servers were, so there were ashtrays on all the doors leading into those rooms. I thought the building was built in the 70's, but it might have been there well before that.

      That building was so awesome. We did a rip and replace of all the network wiring since it was such a clusterfuck there was no way to run additional CAT5 anywhere. I think we ended up making 30,000 bucks just off the copper in the wire that we pulled out of that old building (think 8-10 pallets piled high with just cable)

      In bigger cities it's hard to find a place where you can smoke

            when I was in the respiratory ward with a collapsed lung last year the woman in the bed next to me would try light up at all hours of the night. she wasn't allowed out so she just decided to spark up in a room full of high oxygen content surrounded by people who couldn't breathe properly.

            I dunno why she was even in there and not like the psyche ward.

            And then drive the kid home in a car that didn't have seat belts, let alone a car seat.
