Perfume in the Office.

[Darius871]

Another colleague (who I do not know) was visiting the office yesterday while on mat leave. Not only did this trigger about 2 hours worth of women congregating, oohing, ahhing, and giggling...but she brought her 2 month old and 3 year old to the office for 2 hours! And they cried and needed diaper changes, etc.

OMFG I HATE THAT ****, forget about perfume. I DON'T GIVE A **** ABOUT THAT BALL OF FLESH YOU SHAT OUT A MONTH AGO LADY, GET BACK TO WORK!

Also, no one here watches hockey. It's like I'm in frickin Texas.

The water cooler talk focuses on WIFE SWAP and SURVIVOR.

Is this a "SMELL AT ME" thread?

Ok, now I finally feel sorry for you.

It's an example of me generating community content at a site. Far more than some dip****s do for this site.

We just had an email go around telling people to be considerate about wearing strong perfume.

I think it's been better since then.

By the way, I don't like perfume in the office either. But a couple years ago, I had a hot colleague who wore perfume that drove me wild -- couldn't continue my work for hours after I saw her.

Good looking people naturally get away with a lot.

Sounds like you should have thought twice before quitting your old job.

[Asher]

The woman wearing perfume is not at all good looking. She's 45-ish with 4 kids and she obviously doesn't care anymore. I guess she thinks the perfume makes up for it...so she needs a lot.

It's an interesting dilemma. At my old job, it was almost exclusively men but also almost exclusively unattractive men. The few hot guys who joined begged to go to the NY/London offices since they were trendy hipster types.

The new company only has a few men on the floor, but two of them are gorgeous.

I don't see what's wrong with that. Far fewer distractions.

[Asher]

I welcome distractions. It's why I have Poly.

I hate offensive smells in the office in general.

So, for now on you should microwave tuna salad on high for like 5 minutes to give the whole office that fish smell. They'll eventually complain and you make a deal with them to stop wearing perfume and you'll stop microwaving nasties.

Kids in the office is annoying too, especially when it distracts half the employees. Post pics of random kids around your cube, when people ask who they are just say "oh, some kids I see around." That will stop people from bring kids around you.

That's genius.
