My biggest pet peeve is...

I am joining in with BritMums Blog Prompt of the Week and have selected their personal prompt of:

My biggest pet peeve is.....

I may offend some of you writing this but my biggest pet peeve is other people's smoke - in my house and garden.

I know everyone has a basic human right to decide what they do to their own bodies, in their own houses and their own gardens but I get really annoyed when I have to share other people's stinking cigarette smoke as it wafts up my nostrils whilst I am sitting in my own garden or worse still in my house!

These are not my friends smoking in my house, no these are my thoughtful neighbours. My neighbours who send their family members out into the garden to smoke so their own houses do not reek. That secondhand smoke then drifts ever so annoyingly over the fence and infiltrates the fresh air that my children are breathing in as they play. It wafts through my conservatory and into my kitchen where I prepare food. It comes up through my bedroom window first thing in the morning as I am getting up. It is obviously more noticeable at the moment with the hot weather but I feel I have a basic human right to open my window to get some of the early morning cool air into the house. What I don't want is to breathe in cigarette smoke.

Just walk down to the end of the garden please.

Rant over.
