Yeah my office has a nominal rule against using strong scents. Most people adhere to it most of the time, but once or twice a week someone will spray some shit at their cubicle and it’ll make me gag. Perfume is in the eye of the beholder, people. If you have to use it at work, couldn’t you at LEAST spray it in the bathroom or outside?

Not to mention the manager who douses himself in Drakkar Noir and smells like Eau de Cologned Armpit by 5pm. euuugh
