Don't you dare let the smoke from your bar-b-cue leave your property or you're in trouble! You can and will be ticketed.
A bizarre video has emerged out of Florida showing a man who says he is a council official telling a resident that the smoke from their barbecue is not allowed to leave the property.
'I'm only here because of the odor, I'm only here because of the smoke,' the official says.
The resident tells the official that it's only a barbecue and that most residents in the street 'cook out'.
The official alludes to the fact one of the man's neighbors had complained about the smell he was producing.
Then the official says: 'Frankly, today, I can smell it, I can smell it again right now, but I'm on your property.
'You're allowed to have it smell on your property, so that doesn't count, but when I'm on the street, that's when it counts.'
The official finishes up by saying that the barbecue smoke, by a rule in force in Pinellas County, cannot cross their property line.
I'm laughing but I'm disgusted too. It is insane to regulate smoke for fucks sake.
