""NO SMOKING"" -- "Please" was not written....


This type of indifference, arrogance and stupidity
makes me sick.

He is a patient...like me but sitting outside
in a forbidden area for smoking,
but he obviously could not care any less...
I am just sitting inside, behind that window
and...i am appalled...
PLEASE is not written under the no smoking sign...

That "slave of tobacco" had time to smoke his full toxic cigarette.
That is without counting the incredible number of people
who use their cell phones IN the hospital...
I can't say how many times i said:
"ehm...but this is not right to use the phone here..."

I have a hard time with superficiality,
imbecility and lack of respect
for life.

Some people
just
don't get it at all.

Just another selfish sleepwalker...

Why is it so hard to CARE and why is intelligence...so rare?

This is a super shot, both photographically and in its message .... its like 'I can see the fricking sign and I don't give a shit' well done.

Ooops. I meant to say "throbs with outrage."
Sorry.

This image throbs without outrage. We can feel his arrogance as he blows his smoke at the no smoking sign on the wall. It is also very incongruous. The IV tells us that he is being treated for an illness, yet he continues to fills his lungs with smoke. And he endangers the health of others as he fills the room with smoke as well. Your image expresses the human values of arrogance, selfishness and ignorance -- your contempt for such behavior is palpable.
