Why, dear god, why do young men insist in dousing themselves with that cheap smelly drugstore body wash!? I cannot be sure what it is, but it reeks. Human are not meant to smell like this. Take a cue from nature, rub lemons on yer arse, or sprinkle cinnamon in your socks! Even vanilla or lime in your beard would be better! This girl is serious. Ah dee dahs toilet water is not working!

? wtf…
Women are just as bad as men, if not worse, when it comes to putting on too much perfume.
Yeah, especially older women!
dont even get me started. … just… dont even get me started
Think it is bad now? Remember the days before “NO SCENTS PLEASE” laws were around? A regular gag-fest it was! People dreaded getting on public transit and entering the office place.
true story NM, PSSSH, and FB.
fabricated scents are either too dominant or non-existent and bo creeps through. I find it very rare to come across the happy medium… though when I do, I try to get an extra smell in.
I’m not creepy… honest.
Just a thought on the older women and perfume thing…the sense of smell tends to weaken with age, so older women may think they are being subtle even when they are soaking in it.
Miles: Exactly. These old ladies wear the same perfume for 40+ years and by the time they’re 80, they can’t smell it all anymore, so they douse themselves in it until they can smell it. Then they think they’re wearing just the right amount. It may seem like a prickish thing to do, but I tell people all the time when they’re wearing too much perfume/cologne. Some people just aren’t aware of it. I’ve been using the same cologne for years, but I put on the exact same amount every time (which is very little) so I don’t reek like a man-whore.
my friend wears too much cologne sometimes and it drives me nuts but he does shower alot but it gets so overpowering sometimes and I usually tell him to tone it down. Although the cologne he use’s isn’t axe or some cheap crap either which is a very good thing Axe smells like shit
I find all body sprays smell like shit. Even where the same scent is available in deodorant, body wash and cologne, the body spray version is ALWAYS way worse smelling.
Body spray = nasty.
Cologne = get in me.
i’m so with you on that one dino…………..
Ha, yeah the right kinda smell makes me loose all power and just puts me into a drooling trance. Too much smell..just the opposite. Does anyone get the Ops ah dee dahs comment? I was lost on that one.
ah dee dahs= adidas
LOL @ Dino “Cologne = get in me”
I tried some Axe the other day from a tester-sample at the local store. My buddy-from-undergrad’s kid sister let me diddle her.
Just like in the commercials!
Even let a panhandler smell mah fingah.
Bravo @ your success, NGF…
I’ve been watching Clerks 2 as well as watching AI tonight…
Nice save, NGF… 😛
About 6 months ago a teen in Australia died from overusing Axe spray in a non-ventilated area, so remember kids – use with caution!
Death by Axe spray, funny! Also a good way to murder someone. First, force them into some club-wear and then lock them in the closet before spraying a few cans of Axe directly into their face. Once the victim is dead, simply move the body, along with the empty can of Axe back into the bathroom. There’s one I haven’t seen on CSI
Miles could you be brave enough to tell the woman who insists on sitting beside me on the bus that her perfume makes me want to throw-up repeatedly? K thanks!
I like classic old spice cologne mmmmmmmmmmmm
wow, an educational bitch.
I can learn from this….. so which cologne is the trance inducer? and which is the “I think I’m on Fear Factor”?
I needs ta know.
I can’t help you there..There is one particular cologne that weakens the knee’s whenever I smell it on someone. I always thought it was addidas movement until one of my friends put that shit on and I almost puked on him. Fortunately he was close enough that I could tell him he reeked and ask him what the fuck he was wearing. So really, I have no idea.
Maybe it wasn’t cologne at all – but the lung-butter and virus infected fecal matter aroma that was permanently stained into the passer by’s leg pants from backwashing a ‘gob of goob’ onto them the morning before.
Psssh, I see what I can do.
In the meantime you may want to just go with the flow and spew all over her. Then explain why.
LOL@miles
Well there’s an idea! If I spew all over her I wont have to smell her nasty ass perfume anymore. I would much rather the smell of my own vomit!!!
People who use perfume or cologne should take the advice of Brylcreme (now there’s a blast from the past), “A little dab will do ya”
