I’m just wondering why people feel it is absolutely necessary to put on 3 pounds of perfume before going to work in the morning. I thought a lot of offices were scent free. You know, people could be a little more considerate of people who might possibly be VERY allergic to your stupid, smelly perfume and be forced to spent the rest of there day with hives and swollen eyes. If you smell that bad you need to bath in perfume… take a fucking shower!

The whole “scent free” thing irritates me a lot since the whole reason we have it in the first place is because of morons who wear too much perfume. People seem to have forgotten that perfume and cologne are meant to be smelled by someone when they are close to you, or leave a light scent in the air as you walk by. It’s not meant to leave a cloud all around you that burns the nostrils of anyone within 5 feet of you! I think it’s about being considerate- people do have allergies that you should take into account if you’re going to wear perfume or cologne, but those with severe sensitivities do need to find ways to cope as well.

AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!That’s all it is too — people that don’t want to shower and are disgustingly trying to cover up their stench.And news flash to you all — YOU DON’T SMELL GOOD!! You smell like cheap hookers no matter what the cost of your demon scents. Think of other people and stop being fucking stinkin assholes!!!!!!!!!
If EVERYTHING pisses you off, how can we be sure that this is something you are truly passionate about, or maybe its just another item on top of the big ol’ pile.
I totally hate perfume, makes me ill, sometimes it even bothers my asthma, but really, IF you are soooooo sensitive to scents that you break-out in hives, swollen eyes, etc. and it lasts all day, maybe YOU should be the one protecting yourself by wearing a mask or something.
yikes! sorry about the multi-posts! My internet just did something weiiird…
So Annie, how do you feel about this whole scent free thing? Does it irritate you?I agree with what you said, though. Good points. I’m just making fun of the system glitch.
There’s a difference between a light dab and applying it with a fucking fire hose. Like my old boss used to say, the more perfume, the less hygeine. I can’t believe how much people spend on that smelly swill.
yea Qwerty.. I just had to make sure you actually felt my irritation by making you irritated by reading the same post 3 times in a row, lol
Oh Floyd, the big ole pile is so way more than shit deep. This is a particularly big one due to an allergy. And dirty fucking people. Aw, I won’t get started……endless, dude.
My fave is good ol’ Irish Spring. Nothing says ‘horny leprechaun’ quite like Irish spring soap!
and I like it too…
