thanks oh coworker, for filling the very small office with the long lasting tang of your fishy lunch. just what I wanted wafting around, the pungent aroma of salmon or whatever-the-fuck you just microwaved. our office is small and open concept; have some curtesy and leave your stinkable-foods at home!

Hey OP, what was the person supposed to do when microwaving lunch, bring along a ventilation machine just so you don’t get offended by the pungent odor of fish. News flash, we live on the coast, we bitch and comment on the ” coast ” ergo seafood abounds. Lighten up already.
i think “Donair Fridays” should make up for that 😉
Hey Burning ManPerhaps you would like to pack him a lunch if you don’t like what their bringing. They have every right to eat whatever there hearts desire and there is nothing you can do about it. So suck it up. I
but there is common curtesy! nothing worse then the smell of other people’s dinners, burnt popcorn, whatever. It’s not to say a total ban on all food heating up, but is it really so out of order to ask coworkers to leave the REALLY smelly things that linger for hours at home and pack somehting else for lunch?
Another one of those “What is too smelly?” Depends on the persons sense of smell type of arguments.Claim a seafood allergy and be done with it.
Airfreshener? Febreeze?
People’s sense of entitlement has reached new heights.
Hey k, I’m not the OP on this 1,I’m defending the eater of the lunch. Get your shit together and read a bit before slinging misdirected comments you troll.
