    Posted: 10 December 2005 at 1:16am
Well, I'm getting kinda sick of the irony of smokers usuing the stairwell just outside the Student activities room (home of student government) and out of frustration I proposed to the Student Activities Coordintor that we set-up a relativly good webcam in a nook in the wall that would give us a good view of smokers as well as make the camera difficult to spot (I was thinking of covering all but the lens with plywood and possibly a lexan sheild over the lens and use either a few 16ft USB cables connected, although I'm not sure that would work, or WLAN to hook it up to the computer in the room, an Apple G5).

Does anyone know of a good model that we can use at least up to 50 feet away from the actual computer or am I asking for a miricle?  Thanks in advance for any help!

Not nark on them, shoe them away.

There are a billion stairwells, this is probably the dumbest one they could choose

Seriously, its a pain in the ass to avoid their spit, choke on all the second hand smoke and push my way through them when I need to get up there.  If they insist on smoking why dont they show a little courtasy and use a less used stairwell?

Why do you care so much?

You have self esteem issues.

Teacher comes out, smokers see the teacher as soon as they light up, smokers leave after a bit.

Why is it your concern they are smoking there?

You cannot just, you know, hold your breath for all of the 5 seconds you walk near them? Do they pain you that much?

You have issues man.

I would really like you to answer the questions.

Does it really bother you that much that they smoke, or is it more that they are breaking a rule and you dont like that?

Is it that hard to hold your breath for a few moments?

put a propane tank in the stairwell and open the valve...problem solved...make sure you keep the tank hidden though so they can't see it

I could care less that they break the rules, its just the lack of respect.  Students going through that stairwell have every right too, they shouldnt have to detour just because people want to smoke and gamble and the like.  Its not just holding your breath, they glare and often threaten people that come through.  If they choose a place more friendly to the rest of the school then I'd be fine with it.

So is it the smoking, or the "glaring and threatening" that you dont like?

Does it really matter, freud?

The fact is students should have every right to use the bloody stairwell and we cant with them there.

I told you this has nothing to do with getting them in trouble, just making it inconvenient for them so they find a new place
