Ark Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Everyone knows how unpleasant it is when a colleague is often in dire need of a shower, but am I the only person who finds 'clean' smells pervading the whole office equally noxious? I mean like tonnes of Lynx body-spray, or perfume - why do women feel the need to stink the _whole_ office out with perfume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 alot of the time the strong smell of their perfume makes your eyes water more than someone that needs a good bath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Still ist got to be a better smell than sitting next to two people who really do need a good wash! Christmas presents are Lynx all round in our office! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 We aren't allowed to eat hot food in the office 'because of the smell' but people spray all sorts of sprays around and breathe coffee breath all over you. I get my revenge by farting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I have perfected the silent but deadly fart to mask all the "nice" smells with my own brand of perfume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I remember one girl who had an issue with a one of the warehouse blokes... She had tried the subtle hints without any luck, so she came into work with magic trees as ear rings.... The hint worked *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Previous place I worked had a bloke in the office that stunk - basically poor hygiene all over! People in the office tried every subtle hint they could think off, they even bought him a bar of soap and a flannel for his bday! He still did not get it. One of the women in the office got that fed up with it she just came out with it - you stink plain as that and hey presto instant transformation!

stupra Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 There's a women in our adjacent office that spray's air freshner every time someone in there fart's, the thing is that it hang's around alot longer, and get's to the back of your throat alot more than a fart does !. I'd rather smell a fart for two minute's than that crap for half an hour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I have no idea why some men seem to find it necessary to hose themselves down with the most horrendous aftershave they can find every morning. But I hate it. Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 So how do you tell your "offshore partners" that either BO or curry isn't a socially acceptable stench over here, without immediately being branded a racist? Tricky. -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonW Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 There are two very fat ladies I work with that are constantly spraying themselves with impulse. I think they are aware that their fat bodies have bad B.O. Not sure what would be worse though, the B.O. or the Impulse clogging my eyes. Even my tea tastes of Impulse.
