[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never encountered so many people with "scent sensitivities" in real life as I do here on DCUM. Is this just a new way to complain about something to get attention? [/quote]

The thing is that I am "scent sensitive" but I still agree with you -- people on here are nuts about it. I just have an extremely strong sense of smell and am probably more sensitive to bad smells than others just because I can really smell them. I can also smell what was cooked in the kitchen that morning including something like scrambled eggs.

But I use my power for good instead of just annoying everyone. I take out the trash daily and scoop the litter twice a day because I am the first person in the house to notice when these start to smell off and address it before it starts to bug me. I was the one who figured out the washing machine wasn't draining properly because of how clothes were smelling (a very faint sourness no one else could smell but then the repair guy was like "your clothes are being washed in dirty water half the time). I was the dirty diaper sniffer and if the cat poops somewhere retaliatory when we go out of town I can find it within seconds of entering the house. I use my sensitive nose to keep our house clean and sanitary and also have a good nose for food (good cook) and cleaning products that will not have cloying or too-sweet scents.

The stuff people complain about smelling on here are just reality to me. Yes eggs have a weird eggy smell I'll notice. Yes some people's perfume is too much. But that's life. I've always had a strong sense of smell and I've just learned to live with it. I don't think I could marry someone who worked in a fish factory or sorted garbage for a living but otherwise I just suck it up. If a scent is bugging me I just move or open a window knowing I am almost certainly the only person who is bothered by it.

It's not the super smell that is the problem. It's the entitlement of people who thing everyone should change to accommodate them instead of them changing to accommodate others sometimes.[/quote]
