No Longer Cool at All

Sure, in high school it may have been very cool to smoke in the boys' room - a clear sign of one's toughness and willingness to thumb a nose at any authority figure.  But let's face it; we all should have outgrown this decades ago.  Not so in the airports in Brussels and Naples, Italy.  These remain the only two airports I've seen in all of the Europe where laziness and complete selfishness have come to replace youthful silliness.  Here, men evidently find it all simply too difficult to smoke outdoors, where they're supposed to, and so instead use the convenient toilet stalls in the cramped, nearly oxygen-free airport bathrooms.  It is sadly, at least in my view, a clear symbol of how, in both locations, the individual decides on a daily basis that his own particular needs, wants, or impatience trump all other considerations, to include politeness and thoughtfulness.  What may have made one smile as a teenager in high school now can only make one frown in anger and disgust. Is it all that difficult to do what you know is right?
