(this was when they allowed smoking on flights). Every Arab on the plan wore heavy aftershave AND was smoking one of those dark heavy scented cigarettes. And then the baby pooped its pants in front of me and the parents didn't change her diaper....I sat with my nose down my shirt the entire flight.Karmyn Rhttp://karmynsdreamings.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-52506167557406146622011-09-15T22:02:43.981-05:002011-09-15T22:02:43.981-05:00I ditto Linda M's comment.

We always knew where she was (or had been) in the building just by the smell. I think it is either that they have sinus problems and just can't smell or they have just gotten used to it. Either way it gives me a headache and I have to avoid these people , which I really don't want to do.linda mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203742811516417039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-78690430957793457342011-09-15T07:48:34.020-05:002011-09-15T07:48:34.020-05:00I have often wondered if perfume wearers just get ...I have often wondered if perfume wearers just get used to the odor and then need more, thinking if they can't smell it, they must need to pour it on.

Our older "Senior Citizens" have a bad habit of wearing too much perfume and some of it really stinks. I call it "Old Fart Perfume." Men who wear to much after shave is sometimes called "Taking a Marine Shower".<br /><br />Working in a place that I have to deal with the general public, I have to put up with this. If they come in with so much perfume on that I can smell it a number of feet away, it's bad. I just walk away from them. Understand, I find no reason that using perfume or after shave is bad, but just use it with common sense.Les Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469804584564038796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-10860911808514391632011-09-15T07:11:51.580-05:002011-09-15T07:11:51.580-05:00It is only fair that the board members enjoy the s...It is only fair that the board members enjoy the same offensive smells and cold temps that you have!<br />My mom had asthma and perfume was her worst enemy, so I never wore it, thankfully. My dad's sister would bathe in the loudest perfume she could find and then visit our home - you could smell her perfume on the furniture long after she had gone.
