While I never condone smoking in public places(especially in the U.S., risk of being caught and punishment is just too severe) I've found many people seem to happen upon certain places and end up smoking there.
The craziest place I have ever smoked was inside of the Baltimore Aquarium. It was the end of summer and along with my friends, we wanted to end it right. We had wanted to smoke up, get dinner in the Inner Harbor, smoke up again, and then go to the Aquarium. Unfortunately, one of my friends wasn't able to come so we decided to scratch the whole thing. At about 7:00p.m., I get a call from one of the members of our little group saying he is going to pick up someone and we are rushing down there. It takes me 45 minutes to get to Baltimore from where I live. The ticket booths stop selling at 8:00pm. We rush down there, somehow manage to find parking for both of our cars, and make it to the ticket booth at 7:57pm.
Mission Accomplished! We made it to the Aquarium in time! Unfortunately...we did not have enough time to smoke. We weren't sure what to do. We could just enjoy the aquarium, but it somehow just didn't feel right. We start asking around if there is a place to smoke cigarettes, they tell us no, you would have to go outside and there is no re-entry. My two friends decide that they want to find a place to do it inside of here. I am pretty much against it. Doing it inside of such a public place is asking to be caught. But they insist that we could pull it off. We end up settling on a bathroom in the very back of the aquarium, not very many people were in that part of it. My friend goes in the stall and starts packing a bowl, right when we are getting ready to enjoy it, a group of people walk into the bathroom. So we casually walk out and start looking for a new place. Right across from that bathroom was a back stairwell that we hadn't seen anyone use. One after the other, we all slip into it. Go up to the very top of the stairwell and manage to pack two bowls.
That was probably one of the scariest and dumbest things I have EVER done, but I didn't get caught so I can't complain. I hope everyone has some great stories that can top mine!
