What would you have done ?
 

Yesterday, my wife & myself were sitting @ the bar at an unnamed country club.

Two men sat down a few cars away. One of the men was chewing on a non smoking cigar that had about 1" of tobacco left-the stench was horrible- As a cigar smoker I could never smoke any cigar that short.

I asked the bar person , to ask the gentleman to kindly get rid of that "stinker"

she did so- and he kinda got in my face & said."next time ask me your self"

I asked the bar person to avoid the confrontation-that I suspected would arise.

I sympathize with you avout this cigar stench. My dad was a lifelong cigar smoker and there is a big difference between smoking and chewing on the end. It is a terrible tobacco breath that won't go away. I guess I would have moved and if the server asked about the move I would have said why.

Assuming he was aggressive and violated your space, the correct response would have been to ask him if he would like to go around back and throw down with you. &holes rarely will take you up on that offer. Although sometimes they will. In that case make sure you have him go first, then as soon as he turns around to confront you, you sucker punch him in the face and don't stop until he is flat out and unconscious. This is, of course, assuming he is much smaller than you.

At my age its not smart to exchange compound fractures, can't run fast anymore& when I'm not drinking or seated @ prohibited area, I carry a firearm-

In that case, you should have just shot that nasty thing out of his mouth...but then that would have been noisy and wasting ammo.

It's exactly why I don't sit at the outside bars in the Villages. I do not like to smell the smoke.

This was @ an INSIDE bar & we hand our drinks in front of us !!!!, before the cigar chewer arrived

What would you have done if the Person had offensive body odor Or too much cologne?

My wife would insist I keep my mouth shut and that we move.

What would you have done ? since you asked.......................
I would have moved to another seat or went elsewhere.

When I was quite young I would have been more confrontational if I knew I would be running into this person again.

What I just wrote [the last sentence] doesn't really make sense. Why would kid be smoking a cigar? If it was an adult, I would not confront an adult. This is not my kind of thread and I would just change my response to /////////////////// but I have already been quoted. oh well,,,live and learn

I would have sucked it up up until I finished my drink and then left -- either to be seated at a table or to leave the establishment.

This thread stinks.

Not worth the confrontation.
 

This is the type of situation that could escalate into something physical. Is it really worth it? I would have responded differently as a younger man if he approached me withnhis comment after the server spoke to,him. Just glad he is not my mate, companion or friend.

I would have moved. Some things are worth the battle, some are not. This would be on my not list. Just not worth the confrontation.

And I sincerely hope you weren't carrying in the bar area of the restaurant, which is against the law. If you're going to carry a concealed weapon, know and obey the laws. It can save a lot of grief.

Is smoking was allowed at the inside bars of country clubs? Oh, never mind. You said he was just chewing on the end of the cigar.
