Well, I'm sick of the smell of whatever your favorite food is.

Take your double standards and stfu.

Give me a break. Someone would have to roll around in their food if they wanted to smell like it the same way that a lot of smokers smell of cigarette smoke.
You've never been around someone whose main diet consists of Curry or Garlic!

Well I can understand that. But how many people do you meet every day that eat mainly garlic? How many smokers do you meet every day?
I would take garlic or curry over the smell of being trapped with a smoker in an elevator.

Not a chance. I rather smell 1000 smokers than be exposed to the nasty body odor of people who either have exotic diets, or just don't bathe.

I by "smoked" you mean "choked," and if by "some" you mean "my" yeah, I believe that.

I might encounter someone with obnoxious BO maybe once a year, but I am forced to gulp hugh doses of smoker's putridness dozens of times a day. And, I work in a no-smoking workplace, but how can we expect these people to show any decency to their fellow human beings, I mean it's only cigarette smoke.

What, nobody brings up perfume/cologne? I always thougth "toilet water" was an appropriate name for that stuff. With smokers the stench is a byproduct, with that crap it's only purpose IS to force other people to smell you. Start the initiative process to ban that in the workplace and I'll sign on.

I like the smell of some smoke...burning tires no, burning leaves in the fall maybe, pipe smoke from a distance sometimes, a charcoal grill burning the flesh of a dead cow, usually. Isn't any perfume that I like, far as I'm concerned people should save their money and just buy Pinesol, it's cheaper by the ounce.

Ugh, you're lucky. I smell BO quite often. Especially when I visit CA and go places where there is lots of immigrants.

I try to be conisderate of non smokers, and am careful about 2nd hand smoke, but sometimes non smokers just get out of hand.

;)

I agree 110%.


:cool:

Chase them out into the hallway spraying something like ozium or lysol. Maybe they'll take a hint and phone you instead of coming to your office in person. ;)

Smokers, you smell bad.

Cologne/Perfume wearers, you smell bad. Quit bathing in it.

Yes, you all have a right to smell as badly as you want. The rest of us have the right to point fingers, make fun of you, and hope you choke. Get over it.
