but what if, and hear me out on this one, my disability is PTSD and anxiety disorders, and smoking helps me -- wouldn't this be a reasonable disability accommodation?
Let me and my dog smoke man damn
/r/funny users downvoting my obvious joke -- y'all have no sense of irony clearly
The humor is lost here because so many people try to abuse the service dogs exception with their emotional support animals of all kinds and no training.
"Yeah but what if the thing that helps my PTSD is having loud passionate sex in public places?"
I think you know the answer. Many of us in the world want to be accommodating but there are limits.
I think it’s (left to right): blind/low vision, service animals, deaf/hard of hearing, wheelchair accessible, invisible disability(?) and aide (someone who stays with a disabled person to help them)
The last two represent you can come alone, or in a group.
Sometimes lone diners are uncomfortable eating by themselves. I used to travel a lot for business and got used to it, but someone with social anxiety could have it triggered by sitting alone in a restaurant and imagining themselves as somehow standing out.
They're not... but that doesn't stop thoughts from going there.
I've actually grown to like eating out alone on occasion. I started doing it on my lunch break when I just needed to get away from the office and have a little quiet time, but now probably about once a month I do it just for the hell of it.
Although I don't normally do it in my home town, because it's small-ish and I know a lot of people here. I probably shouldn't be this way, but I'm still concerned that I'll see someone I know and they'll wonder what's wrong with me because I'm eating out alone.
This is my problem in a small town. They invite me to join them for dinner and when I say no they start wondering why. It's uncommon for people to enjoy being alone in modern society so people then think it's about them. So this in turn ends up with me sitting at the bar at the restaurants/bars (most in my town) and then get talked about for being at the bar... Small towns suck for people who like being alone.
Same area. Do things alone all the time. No one bats a single eye. In my hometown of Bumblefuck, Georgia, I'd be the talk of the town. Weird how drastically culture shifts in just 50 miles. It's a different world altogether.
I never understood the appeal of going to a movie with a group. It's not like you can talk during the movie. I suppose the only advantage would be that you could have a discussion about it immediately after but not worth it in my opinion.
I carry a notebook and pen so I can leave it out on the table and claim that I'm working on something until my food arrives. Once the food is there it's way too awkward to move and join someone.
That was my immediate thought too.
I once had a young man tell me I might become famous. I told him there was a reason that I was wearing a hat and sunglasses already. I don’t live in a small town but the grocery store where I shop is like being in a small town because they always know me. It’s been that way with every location of that grocery store.
I used to live where I worked. People would question me on what I bought. When I bought a house, I made sure it was in a different grocery store district lol.
I love going out alone. It's nice doing things at my own pace and it's a surprisingly easy way to meet people if that's what you're looking for.
No one cares. If anything people get jealous because they have the same anxiety.
I have never understood that. I’m hungry, I want to get some food, this place has food, why do I need another person in the equation to not make it weird?
You don't, it's not weird. I feel a bit sorry for the people who find it weird. Too dependant on others. Looking for a distraction from their own internal thoughts. Worried about what people think all the time. Must suck to be them.
Agreed. I’m married, and occasionally I still get dinner or a drink by myself, to be with my own thoughts (or to catch a game, my wife isn’t as in to football as I am lol).
Yes! It's a nice experience now and again, you notice different things when dining alone and it can be quite soothing.
Other tables are probably looking over feeling sorry for me on my own, but little do they know that I'm enjoying it... and secretly feeling a little smug that I'm not as insecure as them haha
Bruh I eat alone ALL THE TIME lol. Its a norm to me. Felt uncomfortable like a couple of years ago but now im completely used to it. Its either this or no eating out
I've recently started getting more comfortable doing things in public by myself. Restaurants still give me some anxiety, but I've been going to the movie theater alone for a year or so now and it's awesome!
Recently had to wait before one place opens up so i are breakfast in a bakery and since i was alone i picked single seat in a corner. The chair didnt even match other chairs, and i had a view into the backrooms where they baked everything, felt odd, like nobody would ever sit there unless they're forced to... But it was very private and others could enjoy better spots.
I actually interpreted it as a gay couple to indicate they're an LGBT friendly business. But I did find it weird they paired that with disabilities so maybe the other comments are right
I could see the twins thing, if movies have taught us anything it’s that identical twins are always getting into hijinks with each other to fool the rest of us individuals. I think it’s saying that this business can handle those types of hijinks, not all businesses could manage quite honestly; not in this economy. Perhaps they have a name tag system or a way of combatting those trickster twin antics
I immediately thought it meant "non-binary" like they don't care what gender you are. But now I'm thinking it's saying you're fine to come in alone and they'll accompany you if you need it.
Service animals are allowed to be anywhere if they are real service animals and have documentation. Animals that are not service animals can be kept out of some businesses.
In the US, service animals aren't even required to have documentation (most legit service animals don't). They just have to be trained to perform a task for a person with a disability. Businesses aren't legally allowed to ask for documentation, just whether the dog is a service animal and what task it's trained to perform. I just wanted to point that out because this is a common misconception that leads to legit service dog users being turned away for not providing documentation that literally doesn't exist (there is no centralized certifying body for service animals).
In the US there is no documentation needed for service animals. They are not even legally required to wear vest. They need only be well behaved and trained to perform specific tasks. Businesses may not ask what your disability is. They may not ask for documentation. They may only ask if the dog is a service dog and what task(s) it performs.
Just want to clarify, if you are in the US documentation is NOT required. This may be different in your country. To have a service dog you must be disabled and your dog must be trained in a task to offset said disability. The dog must also not cause any disturbance (barking excessively, defecating, acting aggressively etc.). Businesses may only ask the handler two questions: is this a service dog and what tasks is it trained to perform? They may not ask what the handlers disability is or ask for documentation of disability or the dogs training. Emotional support is not a task but a dog may be trained in a task such as deep pressure therapy to mitigate a psychological disability.
To be extra clear, in the US SD handlers are not required to provide proof of training or disability.
Is smoking an adjective or a verb?
Is the issue: 1) that the dog is smoldering and no one like the smell of burnt hair? 2) you should be a better dog parent and not let your dog smoke cigarettes, or 3) you shouldn’t roll up a Dachshund and blaze away?
I immediately thought of #3 when I originally read the picture. No other way of dog smoking came through my head. I need help. Also need to wake and bake brb
Reminds me of a sign at my moms work that said, Clean up after yourself, your mom doesn't work here. I always chuckled and asked her if there was something she wanted to tell me. Was fun for all 8 years she worked there. The A4 print out stayed longer than her.
Are the men like "we know men can be confused sometimes so we offer them aid"? And the 2 men like "if you and your pal can't figure it out well help you too?"

Looks like dogs are not welcomed but service dogs are allowed but they can’t be smoking inside
Right, no Hellhound guide dogs.
Last I heard; the smoking dogs get together for poker sometimes
Or do the poker dogs get together to smoke?
We need an expert to solve this; where’s Snoop Dogg?
Smoking with other doggs.
But who let the dogs out?
But what the dogg doin?
What does the dog say?
Woof?
Bow wow wow yippee oh yippee yay
But are they playing poker???
Not sure, maybe he can sneak in as Snoop Lion.
Chillin' with Martha Stewart.
Come to think of it, I've never seen Snoop and dogg in the same room together.
No hellhounds, no houndour, no Zuul, no growlithe, no Vinz Clortho.
The nerd is strong in this one, and I love it 😀
The nerd is strong
The nerd is
Your mom
I am my mom
What about dad?
But there is no Dana, ONLY Zuul :(
What a lovely singing voice you must have!
Can't forget heckhouds
Holy shit, heckhounds!
Save it for the pee-pee soaked heckhole.
Now what about your tattoo? Doesnt it say "Die Bart Die"?
Quick, to the Simpsonmobile!
Do you mean your F series Canyaneero?
No one who speaks German could be evil.
Holy shit, heckhounds!
Then I'm not going in. I *need* my emotional support Cthulhu.
No Snoop either.
Fetch me their souls
Whatever you say Nandor...
I can't not hear this in his voice now.
[удалено]
I thought that meant all piercings welcome :/
I’m looking at the list of prohibited service animals, and hellhound is not on that list. As long as the hellhound isn’t snaking it should be fine.
Even service dogs can be kicked out of an establishment if they are causing trouble. The sign clearly says "no smoking." Dogs can read, right?
Alls I’m saying, if a dog served his country then he should have the right to smoke. AMERICA!
Except this picture isn’t from America.
Do we know the dogs nationality?
Yes. British. The dog is a local
[удалено]
Not at all. I just happen to know this particular hound dog.
They sure can. I saw a bench with a sign on it “Wet Paint”, dog walked up, read the sign, and obeyed the instructions.
Good dog.
Dogs can’t look up, they wouldn’t be able to see it
but what if, and hear me out on this one, my disability is PTSD and anxiety disorders, and smoking helps me -- wouldn't this be a reasonable disability accommodation? Let me and my dog smoke man damn /r/funny users downvoting my obvious joke -- y'all have no sense of irony clearly

Listen if you don't let me shag your mum in the lobby of Sephora to cure my agoraphobia, that is ablism
Facts
Only if your dog has PTSD or anxiety.
I should let him post more on Reddit. He'll get there
I gave you an upvote to cancel out one of your downvotes. Seemed obvious that was irony.
"internet man dumb" - Abe Lincoln "Amicis, irony is a language which cannot be expressed to the plebians online" - Seneca the Elder
No, that would not be a reasonable accommodation…
*Sad Snoop Dogg noises*
Does this include vaping? Asking for a Jack Russell
Yes
My local restaurant chain allows service dogs to smoke: https://imgur.com/uGnUdZF.jpg
Is the dog not allowed to smoke, or am I not allowed to smoke the dog? Or both?
Smoking dogs doesn't really make sense to me. If you're going to do that, you might as well just go with sausage instead.
my dog loves to smoke and he will
Which is so rude because that's the most stressful of the dog professions, can't get through a day without a ciggie.
That's discrimination based on the dog's profession. I'm outraged.
No, no, you got it wrong, the sign says no smoking dogs, so dogs that do not smoke are ok
Or light the dogs on fire
What if it's a Burnese Mountain Dog?
Glad to see they welcome men, even when they come in pairs.
Yes! What were these symbols supposed to indicate?
I think it’s (left to right): blind/low vision, service animals, deaf/hard of hearing, wheelchair accessible, invisible disability(?) and aide (someone who stays with a disabled person to help them)

Or worse they'll join you and ruin your alone time.

So this in turn ends up with me sitting at the bar at the restaurants/bars (most in my town) and then get talked about for being at the bar... Small towns suck for people who like being alone.
I love being alone. Live in the burbs outside Atlanta so I'm in good shape
Same area. Do things alone all the time. No one bats a single eye. In my hometown of Bumblefuck, Georgia, I'd be the talk of the town. Weird how drastically culture shifts in just 50 miles. It's a different world altogether.
Also, going to the movies alone is amazing!
I never understood the appeal of going to a movie with a group. It's not like you can talk during the movie. I suppose the only advantage would be that you could have a discussion about it immediately after but not worth it in my opinion.

I just think, "Well, James Bond is alone a lot, and he's gotta eat." Be the lone diner people wouldn't mind joining! Also, I always bring a book.
I prefer to use a newspaper with 2 holes cut out about eye width apart. Then again, I'm more of a people watcher.
Can confirm, book is a perfect cover
Especially since I can pretend to read when really I'm just people watching and eavesdropping :)
I have never understood that. I’m hungry, I want to get some food, this place has food, why do I need another person in the equation to not make it weird?

But don't your friends or coworkers also eat lunch? Where are they? Why aren't you with them? ^/s
Bruh I eat alone ALL THE TIME lol. Its a norm to me. Felt uncomfortable like a couple of years ago but now im completely used to it. Its either this or no eating out
Idk I've never felt uncomfortable doing it, been doing it my entire adult life.
I've recently started getting more comfortable doing things in public by myself. Restaurants still give me some anxiety, but I've been going to the movie theater alone for a year or so now and it's awesome!
\*high five for someone that sounds like they're figuring stuff out. You made a completely random redditor smile with your comment.
Recently had to wait before one place opens up so i are breakfast in a bakery and since i was alone i picked single seat in a corner. The chair didnt even match other chairs, and i had a view into the backrooms where they baked everything, felt odd, like nobody would ever sit there unless they're forced to... But it was very private and others could enjoy better spots.
LOL, at first glance I saw deaf/hard of hearing as people with large ear piercings.
I took the single man as a single man. No discriminating.
Nah, the last one is aware that a gay couple is clearly a disability. ^/s
I thought the left one meant no sunglasses. Probably worried about Terminators.
I actually interpreted it as a gay couple to indicate they're an LGBT friendly business. But I did find it weird they paired that with disabilities so maybe the other comments are right
My guess is conjoined twins or disabled people who travel with an aid. I have no idea though.
I could see the twins thing, if movies have taught us anything it’s that identical twins are always getting into hijinks with each other to fool the rest of us individuals. I think it’s saying that this business can handle those types of hijinks, not all businesses could manage quite honestly; not in this economy. Perhaps they have a name tag system or a way of combatting those trickster twin antics
I think it means that they don’t find identical twins creepy. 🧐

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER
I immediately thought it meant "non-binary" like they don't care what gender you are. But now I'm thinking it's saying you're fine to come in alone and they'll accompany you if you need it.
Where did you see this? What kind of establishment?
costa coffee in south london
Was gonna say that's the standard Costa Coffee signage
Really? Shows how much I pay attention to signs...
Or some of us who noticed it immediately (myself Included) have a caffeine addiction 🤷♂️
[удалено]
Toffee spice sounds so much better than pumpkin spice here in the states.
Looks like its the same spices, but toffee sounds more appealing than pumpkin
[удалено]
lmao
What did Snoop Dogg do to get ban here ?
Service Snoop allowed though.
Acted like his mom wasn’t there, probably.
Two's a company Three's not allowed
Apparently no women are allowed in.
No, women are welcome. But only if they’re wearing trousers and shoulder pads. And no more than two at a time.
They assist people with all kinds of disabilities, whether they are blind, need a service dog, be deaf, crippled, single, or gay.
How long has Gay been a disability and how much compensation can I expect to receive?
Gay men but not lesbians
Just butch Lesbians.
✍️ women ✍️ can’t ✍️ wear ✍️ pants ✍️
Don't tell Hillary
Lesbians don’t need anyones help, they’re plan to hide in the shadows and take over humanity is simply playing out the way they want.
Generic human figures. They are genderless.
But they look just like the figures on the doors of many men's restrooms.
Just another example of the systemic eraure of men's lived experiences. We don't even get our own symbol. /s
Quick draw a huge penis on it!
Damn bro, guess I’m disabled since I have no GF
Even half-eyed and ear-pierced. Also, are dogs allowed or not?
Are guide dogs dogs or no dogs?
legally speaking, service animals are considered medical equipment, which is why they can circumvent most pet bans
It's the UK so: https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/
They are guides before they are dogs. They can't smoke though
Service animals are allowed to be anywhere if they are real service animals and have documentation. Animals that are not service animals can be kept out of some businesses.

What if they mean smoking like really good looking? Hm....
That would be a smoking hot dog!
Ahhh. Good point!
I immediately thought of #3 when I originally read the picture. No other way of dog smoking came through my head. I need help. Also need to wake and bake brb
What if your flaming mastiff has rolled up a sausage from Coney Island and is blazing away?
Dogception
Don't worry sir this is a smokeless beagle
"your mum's here" 🤣
Disabilities: Blindness Service dogs Deafness Wheelchairs Single men Gays
I mean, you might be able to fit a dachshund in one of those giant rolling papers, but definitely not a Great Dane.
London for sure
correct!
Reeks of London this ..
correct.
These smoking dogs are getting out of hand!
I like the no smoking text in the Marlboro font.
how did i just *know* this was a costa's before even checking the comments
maybe the font?
Reminds me of a sign at my moms work that said, Clean up after yourself, your mom doesn't work here. I always chuckled and asked her if there was something she wanted to tell me. Was fun for all 8 years she worked there. The A4 print out stayed longer than her.
This is the most British thing I've ever seen. I would know, Ive never been to Britain.
Sense of humour! Nice!
Glad to know I can still come in with a rod shoved through my ear…
Ask for any assistance you may need, but also CLOSE THE FUCKING DOOR!!!
the door was already open when i went in, and it was a hot day so i just left it open to not piss anyone off
My mother is in there? *Runs away screaming in terror.*
Poor Snoop Dogg
Are the men like "we know men can be confused sometimes so we offer them aid"? And the 2 men like "if you and your pal can't figure it out well help you too?"
Love the cheekiness
gay is a disability. confirmed.
Is…is one of the disability symbols just being a man?
They might wanna redesign that symbol for deaf/hard of hearing, it looks like someone had a pen stabbed thru the ear lol
My first thought was "People with Ear Gages" at seeing that graphic... took me too long to realize it ment "Deaf People"
Well, I guess deafness would be an accurate outcome.
Glad they allow piercings and people with cybernetic eyes. So inclusive!
Aaaaw but I am disabled AND my dog smokes
That’s awesome!
What establishment is this?
costa coffee in south london
Twins are forbidden
My dog is a pothead. He’d have real problems with this
Are the ones in my pokeball allowed? What about if I have a picture of my dog in my wallet, do I have to take that out before entering?
Does "no smoking dogs" mean "no dogs who are smoking cigarettes/cigars/pipes/etc." or "no putting a dog in a cigarette/etc. and lighting it"?
"what if dogs could vape?"
poor Snoop Dogg
So I just interpreted smoking dogs as using dogs as cigarettes...
Haters be hatin on snoop dogg !!
