Ladies- Please explain WHY???

**E-man** · 04-10-07, 11:43 PM

I just left the supermarket, I had a hankering for ice cream. SO I end up spending 40 bucks on a cart full of stuff I need. So much for a $5 gallon of ice cream

OK wait, here is my question to the ladies, the check out lady had about 800 gallons of perfume on, I almost puked in the store and now that Im home and washed my hands, Im dizzy and can still smell that perfume.
Whats up with too much perfume???

Is "hankering" Pennsylvania L.E. language or what, lol

Did it turn you on????

I hate that too, especially the really strong ones, yuck! That crap gives me a headache. I prefer just using scented lotion and scented hairspray.

That much perfume means that she wants thoughts of her to be running in your mind all day!!! Seems like her plan worked!!!

**Roses** · 04-11-07, 12:06 AM

Same with some men's cologne! phewwww!

**BEK** · 04-11-07, 12:37 AM

I ran into someone like that too, come to find out the reason why was because she drank during the day and the otherone that did that smoked pot while on lunch hour

I always thought it was hookers that did that so they could be found in the dark.

lol deputy! I can't answer your question E-man, I rarely wear body spray/perfume and if I do I keep it at a light dash.

She's trying to hide her diseased crotch smell.

Yummy.

There are less lethal ways to do it.
For example, pin a note to your chest.
(we guys will be sure to see it there).

Maybe she was just working at the perfume counter but got transferred to the cashier's desk?

**Morning Coffee** · 04-11-07, 08:19 AM

No Idea E-Man , i cant tolerate perfume either , all the ones that seem so popular are the ones , you can smell a mile away so like others above , i wear something really light if at all .

Maybe its the commercials and the print ads those women believe so they douse it on .

Anyone remember the old commercials for windsong , tabu , channel #5 etc etc ?? those had great ads but the products stink .

We've pretty much banned perfume on my employees. It's bad enough with customers coming in reeking like hollywood skunks, I refuse to work with someone that does, too.

**Michelle** · 04-11-07, 09:19 AM

Maybe she doesn't know how bad it smells.
I once had a cashier ask me if I was wearing rose perfume. When I said yes, she said she hated rose perfume.

Now I wear light dessert perfumes. So far no complaints other than being asked where the cherry cupcakes or cookies are.

**Buttercup** · 04-11-07, 09:35 AM

I can't answer that E-Man, but I hate it too, whether on men or women. The worst is when some heavily cologne-laden person gives you a hug, then it's on you and you smell it until you can take a shower (of course if it's a good smell and not heavy, and in my case from a guy, it's nice when it lingers on you a little bit)...or when you go to the gas station and pump your own gas (and forgot to put on a glove), and the person who used the pump before you wore a lot of cologne and then it's on your hands.

If it was an older woman, there may be a legitimate reason. As we age, the senses of smell and taste decrease in many people, so it's possible that an older person may not be aware of the strength of their fragrance.

At my previous job, the product development employees were not allowed to wear fragrance because it interferes with the accuracy of the ability to taste.
