i have a phobia of smelling of B.O, constantly putting deodorant and aftershave/cologne on just incase...are any of these scent free places going to make an exception for me like they're making an exception for the minority of people who say they get a wee bit of a sore head because someone makes the effort not to smell like shit?

These "workplaces" should be focusing more on productivity rather than worrying about some divvy's cologne.

Some of the clothes co workers wear both male and female sometimes make me feel nauseous and want to vomit do I have a case like they have for scents/perfumes in the work place?
A 300 lb lady should not be bending over in front of me wearing lululemon yoga pants nor should the guy be wearing sandals and socks and a Hawaiian style shirt.

I sprayed myself liberally with scent today, and did a big squirt in the middle of my head just for the tall people.

That reminds me... ever walked past those 'ladies of a certain age' and got that very particular pungent aroma? "You need a big scoosh of Impulse, lady!"

Smokers are the worst, they think a few dabs of cologne and a mint will cover up the stench.

Default Re: Scents/perfumes in the work place.

Don't go to work particularly scented but usually come home sporting Eau de Silage.....wife isn't too keen on it though.

Don't know what all the fuss is about
