I hated riding in cars with cigarette smoke.
4 yo me: coughs intermittently for several minutes
Mother of the year: angrily stabs out her cigarette and waves her hand over the ashtray a few times “There! It’s out! Shut up!”
Me: continues coughing as the windows are all up and a literal hand wave does jack shit
Good times…plus that yellow brown oily residue on everything. And they say it’s not healthy!
I’m so grateful none of my family smoked (even grandparents), but I fucking hated when a friend’s parents did crap like that. Fortunately my childhood was the time period when in my country that stopped being seen as acceptable. I also remember friends’ parents being weirdly combative about the idea that they should wear a seat belt
The whole “seatbelts can trap you, it’s safer to be thrown clear of the collision” nonsense survived well into my lifetime. It’s a mind-bogglingly stupid concept that far outlived the active propaganda campaign. I didn’t start wearing a seatbelt until I started driving, which in hindsight is hard to believe. But buckling up was the exception and not the rule when I was a kid in the 80s.
