It appears that you are unaware, or is it that you don’t care, that all scents (whether it is the scented candle, detergent, perfumes and colognes, etc.) you use, contain multiple chemicals, often alcohol and SOMETIMES natural aromas. Many people have severe allergies to these chemicals and you are damaging your lungs and those of others by wearing and using scented products. Scent is supposed to be subtle, not fill the area around you. If you feel you must wear it, do the world a favour and at least apply it properly.
METHOD:
1. In the privacy of your bedroom, spray into the air once and walk through it.
OR
2. Dab your pulse points once with a small amount of perfume/cologne.
If you can still smell the perfume a few seconds after applying it, you are wearing too much. Even though you can’t smell it, others will. Please show some consideration for others and for the environment by stopping the use (or at least the overuse) of scents; it’s offensive and an assault on peoples’ lungs. —Congested Lungs

I read the title and thought Hmm. Open letter to Ghadaffydick?, Plea for peace to the warring drug gangs of our scenic hinterland? Then I read and don’t quite know which frosted my nipples more. The plaintive refrain of a professional victim or the Sturm und Drang Instructions for how people should properly utilize their own property in their own home. To paraphrase Bro Tim from an earlier bitch “You must be Orange”
And while I like to think that I have a minimal amount of empathy for the problems of others, your mingeing tone makes me fervently wish that Union Carbide builds a fertilizer plant in your laundry room.
Well said Ivan now that i’ve put the dictionary down.
i agree o.p., but to the extent of not over doing them. some people have to have shit on them, or they will stink, of various reasons. i won’t insult anyone’s intelligence by stating them here. you know what they are.
yeah, and keep that fucking old cheap shit perfume at home too, where the rest of your family can gag and puke on it. and does everyone like my new pic here? you have to look real close, at the guy on the left.
hmm, dictionaries rawk. we had an accountant where i used to toil and you knew when she was there with the paychecks. you could follow her scent through hallways, on the elevator, it was like a stinky trail of breadcrumbs
just a thot here, maybe smokers should douse themselves with this stinky shit, so the nons don’t/doesn’t take notice, of all the foul odors and poisons, the nons say are polluting the air. see suckers, you can’t win them all.
I find I am assaulted a lot more with stinky B.O. people than perfume or cologne.
Ever taken a bus in India? No thanks.
Cologne and some perfume is a nice cover up.
How come mens cologne smells better than most womens perfume?
think india is bad, then you should walk down any rue in gay paree. p-fucking-ewwwwwwww.
I was at a place downtown that had a hilariously high concentration of morons who have yet to receive the memo that the whole ‘double pits to chesty’ thing makes you a) reek like a old man’s taint b) buy more sooner. I’ve done just fine with underarm stuff. No sprays, goos, gels, or backflipping pressurized ass-in-a-can. People even say I smell nice (the creepy ones)! Still, after being met with this wave of shitsmell, I had to laugh out loud and make the ‘you all fucking stink’ face and hightail it out of there.
Axe? smells like a middle school locker room
My middle eastern friends bathe in this sh!t…..but they are cute so I gag-and-bear-it 🙁
Bathe in the cheapest smelling shit you can find at the dollar store and then hop on the bus 🙂
OP, Please don’t leave your residence.
For some reason I can’t help but think this is mainly a problem in this city. Not even the entire province, but mostly this city.
Yeah, well, the fucking big rigs that roar down Hollis Street by the dozen and their belching exhaust pisses me off but nothing’s going to be done about that either.
“How come mens cologne smells better than most womens perfume?”
not real
I never wear perfume. The people that wear too much might be trying to cover BO.
Nobody cares what you do, Bon. Just sit there and don’t type anything.
Lulz
now fat, that wasn’t nice, pay nice now.
or no more seb. beratings, for you.
Sorry, uncle Suckers.
you are hereby exonerated.
Just like an IDF soldier that kills unarmed school children 😀
Oh woe is you. Am I an asshole for not giving a shit about people who complain about how scents give them headaches and facial irritation? Seriously, people do shit that gives me headaches and facial irritation all the time but I don’t feel the worlds etiquette should revolve around my personal sensitivities and allergies. Of all the people who are allergic to shit, people who are allergic to scents are the pussies of the group. Jesus Christ, people who are allergic to peanuts can DIE minutes after being exposed and you don’t see them campaigning against people eating Reese’s Pieces. What do they do when they realize someone’s eating something in the room that could KILL them? They quietly leave, wash their hands, perhaps politely ask the person who was eating it to wash their hands if they are going to be in contact with that person for the rest of the day, perhaps wipe the eating area down. Not too much to ask someone after they ate something that can kill you. I’ve seen this scenario a dozen times and it makes me read this bitch and think, ‘So? Buck up, pussy.’
Or maybe I was just pissed off after reading the title only to realize that the “assaulter” was someone wearing perfume, because we all know that someone who beats the shit out of someone else is basically the same as someone who puts a little too much scent on and then unknowingly stands next to someone who is allergic to it.
I wonder where the epidemic of allergic reactions and sensitivities originates.
I have a few ideas . . .
moi aussi mr. farmer…referencing tim nutt. as me ma would say “we all eat a peck of dirt before we die”
CE, are you refering to all the pollutants that babies are exposed to/ingest during their development?
Fluoride.

yeah, us poor suckers are forced to breathe in so much shit, on a daily basis. from perfume, to exhaust fumes, and you all know, that none of this shit is good for you.
so what do we do? hint, look at the chinese and japanese people, see those little white things over their mouths and noses? they are surgical masks, and are impregnated with some scent killing chemicals, which is probly almost as bad as the shit in the air.
people should try to respect other people’s sensitivities, and not wear so much stinky shit. and yes, smokers should behave too. but let’s kill one bird first, the deoderant and perfume one. worst thing a gal can do, is douse herself in some cheap smelling stinky shit, fuck, i’d rather have the b.o. instead, or the monthly earthy smell, aroooooooooo.
Here’s the thing, scented products really do make people sick, and no one actually needs to wear them, if you bathe regularly and use deodorant, you should be smelling alright. They can bring on asthma attacks in people and cause myriad problems to those with sensitivities, plus most of these scents are horrible and people who wear scents tend to be douchebags (this is a scientifically proven fact).
I think the (seemingly) recent epidemic of allergies, etc. is due to a lot of people’s tendency to shelter their kids from the outside world. If they’re inside all the time, they’re not being exposed to all kinds of bacteria and such which normally helps them build up their immune system. Then when they actually have to venture into the outside world, they get sick and have other reactions because their immune system isn’t strong enough to handle it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allergy
Yes, true story. There are hardly any peanut allergies in 3rd world countries.
I hate this Penelope broad. I believe this is the first time I’m openly expressing a hatred for someone on the bitch boards …
Perfume is lovely as long as you don’t bathe in it. How boring would life be if we took away everything we didn’t need. Makeup, don’t need that, hair dye, nope, anti-frizz products, nope, let’s see, spandex, don’t need it, in fact all clothing, nope not needed. Everyone gets a burlap sack …
People will also feign sickness when you tell them about something … I’ve seen it happen with my own eyes. Mind you I’m not saying that we shouldn’t care about peolpe who are really allergic, but come on … …
Be quiet with your bull-ish.
Oh and I wear perfume and I’m a douche bag.
… So.
Admitting you are a douchebag is the first step towards recovery.
Why recover? Douchebaggery is where it’s at.
Especially on this site ‘yo.
oh not another scent bitch…listen, its my experience that scent “sensitive” people are all very selective over when and where they are “sensitive” my wife’s coworker comes in to their shop and orders everyone to use unscented hand wash to sanitize their hands, yet they catch the bitch burying her nose into the scented candles and marvelling at their smell. coworker of MINE bitches and whines when the chubby girl smells like she ran a marathon a week ago yet she loves the smell of her new shampoo. the time for people being “sensitive” over every little thing is starting to be way past its temper tantrum time. I like, from time to time to put a spritz of Drakkar Noir on my shirt front and neck, mainly because everyone ive ever known has liked that smell…fuck you if you decide to scream at me for wearing it. you could always just go the fuck away.
===Douchebaggery is where it’s at. ===
And douchebuggery is divine.
Right Suckers?
Can I get a high five?! Don’t leave me hanging!
Though I hear dunebuggies can be fun.
Hahaha I see what you did there, wheelie.
