The height of folly
By Stanley Collymore
How stupid can you be? In a hotel where smoking guests
are overwhelmingly catered for and 99% of the entire
hotel is given over to them, you deliberately come
into the small non-smoking area, sit down, see
no ashtrays around, which to any sensible person
ought to have been a dead give away, get up,
go into the smoking area, fetch
an ashtray from there and then return
immediately to the non-smoking area to foul the
air there; as well as inconvenience and more
importantly put at risk the lives of each
non-smoker present, including that
of my own with your damned
obnoxious habit! How
bloody stupid and arrogant
can one get? And did you expect
too that I would simply sit there,
passively allow this to happen
and do nothing to prevent it?
For if you did then, as
you were found out,
you were badly
mistaken!

The only way to effectively deal with arrogant, feral bullies is to confront them head on. The art of persuasion can never work with people of limited intelligence and patently unaware of it.
