have you ever told a coworker or employee to stop coming to work wearing the cologne or perfume they are wearing?

@Lilymoon i have a little office and every time he's finished with a task he comes in it. now i have to write down a bunch of tasks at once so he's busy. thankfully the ladies in the office don't wear any as i always have lunch with them

@beermeplease I thought they had scent rules now about not wearing perfumes. It's enforced at my workplace now.

@Lilymoon i'm guessing there are regulations like that but we are a smaller company and i don't have a final say in rules etc

@Kiesel We've had a couple of those as well. The last one they had to approach either quit or got fired, Im not sure but she smelled like onions.

@Tumbleweed Geeze!!

@Kiesel Twas rough to say the least

@Tumbleweed that's what happens to me as well, I taste the awfulness, even though it's supposed to be a scent. It ruins everything. You can't eat or drink without everything being compromised taste wise

@come2gether Exactly and my head almost explodes 😢

@Jenny1234 oh i believe you 100% that people can have scent allergies. hope there wasn't too much friction with you and that lady. a few years ago we had about 5 filipinos working with us. they would take their lunch break separate from the others (lunch room isn't that big) they were the nicest and hardest working guys in the warehouse. but once in a while they would microwave a certain kind of dried fish. the smell was so unbearable and filled the entire office air for hours...my boss (owner of company) asked me to politely ask them not to bring that kind of fish to work....when i talked to them about they knew right away how it could offend others and complied with no fuss....great group of guys and that was years ago...still have one working there and him and i have some fun with it when we look back

@beermeplease that’s great they were so understanding. The food is a difficult one to ask about isn’t it

@Jenny1234 It can cause nausea too. I wish people were aware of that.

@wildbill83 guess i feel bad for the casual marijuana smoker that just wanted to smell nice and wasn't trying to mask anything

@Sapio i don't think so as he's only been using it recently. he's been here a couple or 3 months and was fine

@beermeplease it could be that he finds one of the ladies in the office attractive.

@Sapio only have 4 ladies in the office 3 of them are married and one is about to give birth...the other one is pretty as hell but has a bf. so maybe

@hippyjoe1955 he only started applying it recently. he's been working there for at about 3 months and didn't smell before. he's from sri lanka and a muslim so i know he doesn't drink and i'm sure he doesn't smoke weed

@hunkalove Same, I hate it
