[quote=Anonymous]I sympathize because I hate hate hate the smell of artificial maple, and I have a coworker who eats instant oatmeal every morning. It truly stinks and was insufferable when I was pregnant. However, I don't think you have cause to say anything. I work in a call center style "open workspace" that is supposed to encourage collaboration but really just puts you up close and personal with others' alarmingly rude habits. Unless it's something completely egregious, you're the one who needs to figure out a coping skill. Others have mentioned essential oils, air purifiers, etc. This is no different than bringing in earbuds to cover up a coworker's hacking cough or loud speakerphone calls. Save the complaints and confrontation for something that is truly rude, because you never know when someone might approach you about your "heavy sighing" (happened to me) or "loud typing" (happened to a friend).
