You know, I am just annoyed. For some reason, the heads that "Be" decided to place an air freshner in the bathroom, right over the toliet. So, sometimes, when it's being used, the air freshner will go off, on thou, and now my clothes smell like air freshner. I just had to vent because if I wanted to smell like the bathroom I would have invented the perfume already!

I complained about the same thing where I work and they moved it over the sinks. It was particularly annoying when I was breast feeding and using the handicapped stall for an different purpose...

No kidding! People sitting on the john should expect a stink. It's the people who come in to wash their hands or something that don't want to smell that...

TMI, TMI...

The air freshner going off reminded me of one my favorite stories on here by Mr. Yuk.

Oh yes. I got a great chuckle from his story too. Having had to let people go it is not very pleasant for either side. That event would really have reduced the stress in the room.

My husband was charging my cell phone one night and laid it under an air freshener in the kitchen. Within a couple of hours the next morning, my hands, hair, and face all smelled like very strong wild flowers. Given that I have sensitive skin, this was especially bad, bad, bad.

I sympathize with you.

I feel your pain. My sensitivity to artificial fragrance has gotten so bad that if I am in the same room as a scented candle, I break out in this horrendous lizard skin rash that takes a week to go away. Blech! I had to give away all my Yankee Candles. :o(

Yep, I've always been sensitive to fragrances too. I can't wear perfume at all and have to be super careful about scented products of any kind.

If people give me scented candles as gifts, they don't even make it into the house. :-(

Oh, don't even get me started on perfume. I have to hold my breath going through the department stores at the mall. The grocery store cleaning aisle sucks, too. Too much of that stuff gives me a migraine.

I can't go to the movies because of all of the "great"smelling perfume/cologne everyone is wearing. They didn't like me too much at work either when I got perfume banned because of my allergy. But really..... do most people have to take a bath in it???

I wonder if a big silver cross would work against those "tester" people at the mall...

If that doesn't work, there's always the stake through the heart....

::grumble, grumble::

Stupid, toxic perfume.

Only problem with that is you have to brave the crypt where they keep their coffin. That's probably where the perfume is stored too... ;-)

Okay, I peeked on this thread since Knit Wit was commenting on some topic called, "Smelling like the Bathroom" and I just HAD to see what that was about. Then I noticed that she has turned the discussion into staking the perfume ladies at the store! *shaking head* I really have to wonder about you people some times...

Oh, no, you don't! Place the blame where it belongs!

Three Hearts brought up the staking. I merely suggested the strategic use of a big, silver cross to keep them away.

I was also not the one who voiced the original complaint about perfume in general; I merely chimed in expressing my agreement that some people go a bit overboard at times with the application of whale glandular fluids augmented with floral notes--chemical compounds to which I am allergic.

Amen, sister! We went to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Community College Theater on Friday night. The woman in front of Jolly Roger had on way too much perfume. I have been fighting a migraine all weekend. We even considered leaving early, it was that bad. Considering the quality of the production, and the duration of this stupid headache--I wish I had listened to JR and left at intermission.

Oh, no, you don't! Place the blame where it belongs!

But it's so much more fun to blame you. ;)

Actually, I have the opposite problem with perfumes. I have almost NO sense of smell so I don't wear perfume in the fear that I would end up smelling like one of those people that go swimming in it!

Good point! Well, at least the garlic around my neck smells better than the perfume!!!

Did I say "stake"?!? Oh, dear. I meant "steak". I was thinking a nice steak would make them put down their bottles of poison long enough for me to call HazMat....
