[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a woman at work ask me to stop wearing perfume because it was making her sick. I don’t wear perfume. So then she said, well it must be your shampoo, laundry detergent or your lotion and asked if I would mind changing those of things. I told her I would mind. She stopped speaking to me for like a year. [/quote]

You smell bad to others, and you don't care.[/quote]

Yes, that's weird.  You smell horrible to officemates.  If someone told me that, I'd change.[/quote]

I just have to chime in here because I used to work at this office where one woman drenched herself in this vile musk scent. A formidable woman, I was easily over 100 yards from the office door and could smell the second she walked in. Everyone knew she reeked. She would also have a habit of bringing food to meetings where no one else was eating. She'd be shoveling some stinky slop into her gullet just marinating in her musky scent around a conference table in a small office with the door shut with 10 of us suffering her presence. Completely nose blind.

During my first trimester I had really bad morning sickness. Sure enough, she pulled out some sage/sausage hash thing and starts shoveling this greasy potato mess into her face during a meeting and I just lost it. Had to run out and vomit. I was really annoyed and went to HR about it. They didn't do anything  for over a week so I told her myself. She would come over to my desk and chat with my coworker for sometimes an hour or longer. So I said something like, "hey, your fragrance is really irritating my morning sickness. Could you maybe have coworker go to your desk for chats?" She went to HR about my request. Something something discrimination. It was so bizarre and so poorly handled by that inept HR person that I quit. [/quote]
