Will the smokers PLEASE stop sitting near me?! You reek. I’m a nonsmoker and enjoy my fresh air so stop fouling it up! If I wanted to smell cigarette smoke, I’d be lighting up too. But I’m not so take your smelly bodies somewhere else and LEAVE ME ALONE. —Lone Flower Among Stink Weeds

OB , my lovers been off the cigarettes for over a year. Whenever we come near someone who’s just recently finished a smoke, she often says “whew, can you smell that ? I never smelled that bad, did I ?”
Yes dear, you did.
But OB its their choice to smoke, at least the smoker isn’t blowing it in your face.
La vie est pas mal difficile, ma belle.

Great comment, or greatest comment? ^
Ah, the glamour of public transit.
Along with those who bathe in perfume/cologne, rub their cats and dogs all over themselves, baby shit, etc, etc, etc. It should be mandatory to have showers at all doorways and bus stops and anywhere else and before you enter you must have a shower and put on a Johnny shirt.
The place I notice really bad body odor/just really bad smells is on the weekends at farmers markets or flea markets. What do people get up and decide because it is the weekend that they don’t have to smell good for others if not for themselves?
I for one would vote for mandatory showers daily, if it ever appears on a ballot.
OB, that smell is the cancer growing in their lungs.
the best part about this bitch is that you’re not significant enough to have a bubble of total personal space, you entitled assclown. Get a car, stay in your house and shut the FUCK up. I don’t smoke either OP. But i’m not so spoiled as to assume that the world must bend to my personal standard merely because i’d PREFER it if they do. Personally i’d prefer if mouthy nazi fascists keep well away from me and clearly that’s not happening.. because here you are. And here i am. And the world keeps turning.
And you’re not the center of it.
i have said this a thousand times before o.p., why don’t you just go over and grab their smoke, then let us know what happened, from your hospital bed, okay.
Since you’re a self professed ‘Lone Flower’ I bet when you ‘toot’ it comes out with the fragrance of Chanel instead of the odor of crap.
There are lots of offensive ‘scents’ in the world … that’s why olfactory adaptation is a wonderful thing. You can’t avoid it OB, so you might as well get over it … your sniffer likely does within a few minutes of exposure.
The worst is sitting on the bus and its a rainy day and you can tell someone just sucked a cig down in record time. It hums real bad. I know what you’re sayn. I’m a smoker, I feel bad about this so I chew gum …. but I don’t think it really does much. So uhh….sorry.
I just switched to Dove soap.
