Pet Peeves

People who aren't aware of the fact that they are bothering those around them is one of my pet peeves. Among those people are parents who allow their children to be loud and obnoxious in public, especially in libraries.
2nd and most egregious are smokers. Your right to fill your lungs with disgusting, tar producing smoke ends at my right not to breath it. Today at the library, a stack of Easy Readers came in so bitterly smelling of smoke that it made it difficult for me to handle them to shelve them. In order for a book to smell that badly, it is quite obvious that either some very young child is smoking while reading (highly unlikely lets hope), or some older child (who smokes) has a very low reading level, or most likely, some poor child has idiot parents who smoke while reading to them. Very sad. No parent has the right to fill their child's lungs with smoke, it is one form of child abuse that has yet to have a law against it -and that is wrong.
