Inconsiderate People

[nekosensei]

You know what really honks me off? People who wear way too much perfume. Today, I went out to dinner, and there was this lady who must have taken a bath in the stuff. Seriously, she stank up half of the restaurant. It ended up with me having a pretty nasty asthma attack complete with irritated throat and coughing. Unsurprisingly, I felt much better when I got home. Really, people. I think my right to breathe trumps their right to smell like a toxic waste dump.

Seriously. Why don't they stop to consider what they may be inflicting on the people around them before they pile it on? This is the second time this has happened to me and it's annoying as all hell.

I know. People who wear too much perfume are weird. *plugs nose*

The upsetting thing is that it gave me an asthma attack. I was going to complain to the lady, but my husband stopped me. I mean...we could smell her and we were a couple of tables away!!

Really. I think people who do inconsiderate stuff like that should chalk up and pay for an asthma inhaler or something. Maybe next time they'll think before pulling shit like that.

I hate people who think they don't have to consider others. Wether it is smokers, perfumed persons or those who play loud music at night.

Asthma, allergies and people who need to sleep at night aren't that rare. It should be standard to teach your kids to think of stuff like this as they grow up.

I had something like that happen yesterday. The man we were meeting to clean out the house got out of his truck and while standing at least 15 feet away, I could smell his cologne. I figure he did put on extra, because he'd been working all day and didn't want to smell bad, but I closed up like crazy.

It's the same as for smokers. They don't have a sense of smell (or asthma), so it never occurs to them that other people do.

i know exactly what u mean!!! phew i am sensitive to smells and i got to take public transport ( in a tropical island) and with people ( most of them) drowned themselves in the morning in all sorts of perfumes!!!
and as a teacher i tell my students if their perfume or what ever hair gel stinks or strong although it is an akward situ to be!

Well...the only good thing about the situation is that it didn't give my husband a migraine because he had a stuffy nose. Perfumes always give him headaches, and that's the last thing he needs right now because he had migraines that lasted a week and wouldn't go away. On Wednesday, I ended up taking him to the doctor, and she injected him with three different kinds of medication to try to break the cycle. And he had to take two other meds for the next week to make sure that it's completely gone and it stays gone.

Sheesh...that would have really sucked if he had gotten another migraine again...considering everything he's been through this week.
