I didn't say anything about legislation. If I did, please point it out.

You were responding directly to a question about seatbelt laws. Not seatbelt etiquette. I understood your response to be related to legislation.

Speaking of health, Joe and I are on the countdown to quitting. 2.5 more days. Monday morning we will wake up and not be smokers!!

Ok, P-C, that's bizarre and intrusive on her part. I shall now roll my eyes in her general direction, in much the same fashion that I roll my eyes at my skinny coworker who complains to me about how fat she is.

Oh, it's just how she is. She was only being half-serious. Now she wants me to diagnose her. Her gay BFF says she's a narcissist.

That's where I got confused as well.

That's wonderful, Aims. My brother quit about a month ago. He is using some kind of lozengers this time. I know it's tough. Just picture me down here waving sparkly pom poms in the air cheering you both on in the effort.

I have tried to not get all preachy with people ever since, although I have horrible, mortifying, bossy tendendcies in that direction. For the same reason I try to avoid correcting people's grammar (unless asked).

While I am in mommy!bossy mode: Keep away from toxic relationships and soul sucking jobs. Also, books are better than WoW. If in doubt about your self-destructive behavior just ask and tell you to mend your ways. I'd check with someone else on the grammar stuff though.

Okay, but here's the entirety of what I said in response to that question:

"If someone chooses not to do something that I, personally, do, it's really not my place to get in their face about it."

I assumed that referring to "my place" made it clear that I was speaking about my own behavior regarding the people who don't wear seatbelts/play 18 hours of WoW/eat Twinkies. The only way "my place" could refer to laws is if I were a governmental body. Which I am not.

I thought I was being clear, but obviously I wasn't.

t edit I don't even know what "seatbelt etiquette" is.

I would guess seatbelt etiquette is whether you ask passengers in your car to put on their belts or something like that.

Which I do.

You know, always pass your seatbelt to the left, your seatbelt should be at a 43° angle, that sort of thing.

For me while growing up, seatbelt ettiquette meant that if you don't wear your seatbelt (my siblings), don't make the person who wears a seatbelt (me) have to sit on the seat where he has to dig into the seat cushion to retrieve the vomit-encrusted seatbelt.
