 Posted: 05/22/05 - 07:31 Post subject: Coworkers, perfume and lingering impressions
We have a lady at work who is easily close to 300lbs. (Definelty over 200) Anyway, she uses so much scented whatever you can smell her coming before she gets in the room. Worst of all, you know she has been in the area ten minutes after she has left.
Please undestand, I am not talking about a nice, calm office environment. I am talking a loud, noisy, dusty work floor. Last night I happened to drive my tow motor into a corridor where she had just passed through. She was FIFTY+ feet away and I could smell her scent.
Sheesh !! I'd really hate to think what that would be like in an office...

We have a lady like that. She wears a heavy cloying scent. And I am having hella bad allergies to pollen and dust. She came in and I couldn't help it--I involuntarily started gagging because she made my whole airway shut down with her perfume. Once I left the room I was much better.
She's really nice, so I won't say anything. Just OD on my meds.

"Crazy Cat Lady...did we have a momentary lapse of memory and wear perfume today???"
"Uh uh...yes. I...I forgot."
"Go. WASH."

We had a woman who worked in our ship/receiving dept. who occasionally came up to our area for lunch with a friend of hers. Her overpowering perfume was enough to gag a maggot. Easily30-40 feet away you could detect her....

We used to have this lady at the gym who wore some god awful scent. She would get on the treadmill after setting the fan up to blow directly on her. Keeping in mind that the treadmill she would get on is way at the front of the room. I would sneak up behind her and turn on the fan and blow it the other way. Not sure why, it didn't really help.  Nearly gave me an asthma attack many times.

I'll take the perfume over B.O. anyday....but mix the two together and you got a big time gak. Nothing worse than floral/powder stank.

So this means you would or wouldn't have gotten the gf a bottle?

Not me.
There's plenty of others here more than capable of that.

I used to remind the ladies at work that perfume should be discovered not announced.
