Nope. Most of my coworkers, now and previous, were either borderline anorexic or always beginning a new diet. The dudes were very health conscious.

No, the odor permeates everything. It does not make me happy. Schadenfrued is one thing but smelling that awful stench is not fun.

I don't think I could hate anyone enough to enjoy the scent of their burned popcorn.

A former employer banned popcorn and had it removed from the vending machines. We had someone burn popcorn very badly 3-4 times within a month and it happened when an important client was visiting (this was a ~200 employee company btw).


I wish they'd fire people that burn popcorn. It says a lot about your intelligence if you can't figure out when to open the damn microwave door..

BS. Burnt popcorn, especially really burnt popcorn, is one of the worst smells on the planet.

One guy here ALWAYS burns the popcorn....once the bag even caught on fire. The smell is terrible and lingers for hours.

In college they banned popcorn on a certain floor. One of the professor had a brain condition that caused him severe problems when popcorn was burned. Back in the 50s he worked in Naval Research...

Ever smelled burning flesh?

I once had a wart lasered off of my foot. I tell you, when you smell burning flesh, it's bad enough. Knowing that it's your own foot that's making the smell? Not fun.

Yeah I have, actually, but it was a long time ago so I don't quite remember. I was pretty out of it at the time, too.

Has anyone printed out an enlarged copy of the instructions and left it on his desk?

It smells rather like burning hair. But worse.

Actually people have talked with him about it. He just has the attention span of a squirrel on amphetamines for anything not work related.

My last job had a strict policy on microwave popcorn. You pop it, you get fired on the spot. Their one policy I agreed with.

I have burnt my arm/wrist on oven heating elements, it does reek for a while.

I don't understand him, then. Obviously he can't enjoy eating burned popcorn, so why bother making it if he's incapable of attending to it for the three minutes it takes to make it properly?

I've only burnt popcorn once. Different brand, apparently had a different amount of popcorn, so the time that I was used to using was way too long.

Well he still eats it for whatever reason.

It smells like 10-day-old dog shit placed in a crock pot and slow cooked for 800 hours with a pungent blend of spices and herbs.

Everyone here burns their popcorn daily. I think it's a ritual or something.

Smells like burnt ass.
