      Well, why do people smoke cigarettes? They smell godawful. I'm not sure that even most smokers actually like the smell.

      Stale smoke the next day, not good. Fresh blooms of thick blue haze , just glorious. I’ve been cigarette free for a month now and walking past crowds of smokers is sublime.

        I quit smoking in 2002 and hate the smell, fresh or stale. Cigars, even worse. Pipe tobacco I do enjoy.

        Speaking of olfactory assault, can't stand it when people are drenched in fragrance either.

        Think it, be it.

          I quit smoking 2 years ago i hate stale but i find that the fresh lit cig still smells good just the initial lightning of it though.

            Agreed.  Candy flavored vape bombs are basically the equivalent of walking by a human who smells like they bathed in their favorite perfume/cologne.  The worse thing about the bathers is they smell like that the entire day and not just when they take a puff.

              This is also a problem in hired cars. These services should prohibit the use of noxious air fresheners. Some of them can trigger migraines for my wife that can last days.

              Any in some circles, people seem to think fragrances or patchouli somehow offsets BO, when in fact it amplifies the stench.

              Think it, be it.

                I run into a few folks at the gym that must take their sweaty clothes and just throw them back into their bag for the next work out.
                I can deal with the smell of sweat but a few dudes smell unimaginably gross . Working in healthcare I have smelled old piss, vomit, cat urine, stale smoke, C-diff, gangrene, rotten limbs, pseudomonas, bedsores, and death. I’ve only almost thrownup on the treadmill while running at the YMCA.

                  @mclaincausey yep.  Some car air fresheners are overwhelming.  It's like walking into a Sephora or the like, which is pretty much an instant migraine trigger for me.

                            Oh dude, that sucks. We got hit with major storms last night but nothing that bad in my area. At least insurance will probably call it a total loss and you can buy a new one?

                            I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                              I’ve been up since 12:30 Eastern Standard last night.  We have our builder looking at the house to see if there is any structural damage (a couple of limbs hit the edge of the roof).  Waiting to make an appointment with the insurance adjuster about the truck.  It’s going to be a long day.

                              The family is safe and that’s all that really matters.

                                        I have exams over the next couple of weeks and am stressed. I wanna do well, but I know they're going to be bloody difficult. I can't wait till they're done so that I can have a day or two to watch some new movies that I haven't had time to see.

                                        I'd be really interested to know how the university decides which exams go on which days (and at what time) because I nearly always have a couple that are back-to-back. I guess that means people will still be doing theirs when I'm done, but it doesn't feel too good just yet…

                                            If it makes you feel any better I had to wait over 18 months for Trans Union to fix my credit score. They combined my info with another guy of the same name (who credit blows) causing my score to go down 200 points. I had to threaten a lawsuit to make it right….
