Stank Perfume and Movie Theaters - RANT

[CindyLou]

Ok, so what is the deal with women and stanky perfume in movies theaters? We have been to 3 movies this week and all three times we ended up next to someone wearing the STRONGEST STINGIEST PERFUME you can imagine!!!! We even moved tonight 4 rows behind and could still smell it!!! It smelled like the kind of perfum you would buy in one of those kits at the toy store for a 3 year old's birthday party. YUK!!!! What are they thinking!!! Ok, enough of my rant!!! But the movie we saw tonight was great. 30 days of night! Creepy, gotta see it!

I HATE STRONG PERFUME!!!!
People seem to forget you are supposed to DOT, not bath it on. Only on you pulse points, not your clothes.

SOME people, like myself, are seriously allergic to many perfumes and have asthma attacks and or hives from these bathing beauties. Nothings worse then getting stuck next to one on a plane or restaurant.

Its usually an old lady with teased hair and dagger nails who keeps digging in her coach bag for lipstick or a younger hair queen with her hair so teased you cant see the movie....grr..
Fun rant, one of my pet peeves..lol!

Our community has gone thru a lot of cigarette smoking legislation lately.

Our town passed the smoke free legislation that went into effect this past summer. All tobacco use is banned indoors. Restaurants, bars, you name it. No smoking within 30 feet of a door of any building. Town next door is looking to go that way as well.

I'm not advocating cigarette smoking or anything but,...........

I can read. I know going in if a restaurant or bar allows smoking. And I can choose to eat or drink there or not. Plus, I'm not hep on telling business owners how to run their businesses. If they wanna allow people to smoke in their establishment, that should be their right.

But the stinky perfumes!! Nobody does a thing about them.

Just passing by the perfume counters in the glitzy stores gives me a headache. Too many strong scents all mixed together in the air.

I think we need to mount a grass roots campaign against flagrant perfume/cologne use in public.

There isn't anything worse than the scent of cheap, smelly perfume, and cigarrette!! (Phew)!!!!

I beg to differ. You haven't met my 100 lb. black lab when he eats something a "little off."

What's worse, he thinks he is a lap dog. Try getting a 100 lb. dog off of you in a hurry.

We have a "gentleman", a rather portly non-english speaking one at work. He is a recent arrival from "The Island". The older Cubans, the Hatians, The Gringo's, both black and white and even one Iranian all agree that he smells like a 32oz. bottle of Mistolin, a Cuban soap popular for cleaning tiles down here. This is the king of all over perfumers, trust me, all smells pale in comparison to this overweight, useless "stench free" son of socialism at it's best. He is a cleaner, a dirty job supposedly but he smells like a well groomed down home New Orleans Wh*re all through the day and is NEVER dirty!

Mistolin has a peculiar, recognizable SOAPY CLEAN odor.

Why Are Cigarette Smokers some of the Rudest People in the World?

I can not for the life of me understand why such a nasty habit continues and with all the death associated with it, why anybody in their right mind would want to smoke cigarettes. Before all of you cigarette smokers start posting your objections, let me say for the record that I am not trying to force you to stop. All people should be able to do whatever is legal in america if they want to, however, when you get to the point where its necessary for buildings to post signs because you do not have common decency to stay out of air shot of someone lungs, then I have a problem with you.

I,m just venting because my recent run in with a smoker resulted in a nasty discussion that ended in us both still working at the same police station but with silent glares. It seems that this co-worker who lives 1/2 block from me discovered that she and I not only lived on the same block, but worked at the same station.

After a few friendly exchanges of conversations over a period of time, the question came up about riding with me. Of course I said yes, because it really wasn,t a problem. She wanted to give me gas money and all that stuff which I refused because 1/2 block is nothing especially since I am going that way anyway. Well this worked out for exactly 1 week because after she became comfortable, she lit up a cigarette on the way to work while I drove and with the windows up, no permission, and my eye allergy....this did not work out. I pulled over and asked nicely if she would please not smoke and discard the cigarette or at least put it out. Remember now....we are on our way to work. The nasty filthy obscene words that came out of this womans mouth was flabergasting and early in the morning I just could not believe that anybody would be going off like this over a cigarette.

I was proud of myself, I got out of the car on my side, went to her side...open the door and told her to GET OUT. That was it. I did not care how she got to work, I did not care if she was late, but the things she called me and all over a cigarette....well lets just say that everyday at work....we pass each other by without a word. She still stands outside smoking and is always taking a break for a smoke. Unbelievable.

Being a nurse, I seldom wear scent at all. We were taught in school that haveing a scent could nauseate someone who was sick. Not to mention the asthma attacks. 2 nurses that I have worked with did not pay attention to that suggestion/rule. Last week I ran into one of them in the cafeteria. She hugged me around the neck. When I got back to my area, I took a wet paper towel and washed my face and neck. 2 hours later, not only could I still smell her perfume, other people could smell it also. That is just WAY too much, even if you aren't a nurse around sick people.

So.........your presumption is that your fellow rider's display of vulgarity is due to her smoking. And........you deduce from this, that smokers are some of the rudest people.

Brilliant theory.

perfume and cigarrette odor is STANK!!!!

& add to the perfume stank & smoke stank the toilet stank.

My dad was the stinkiest bathroom user ever. He woud sit in there for hours, on the pot, in his own pot stink with the viceroys one after the other (for what seemed like forever), then mom would go in with those cans of freshners, something like lilac or 'roses'. Now you have cig stank mixed with poop stank mixed with air freshner stank.

That is triple STANK.

I think some cigarrettes, pipe & cigar tobacco smells good. Reminds me of fall, open bon fires and such.

& some perfumes & colognes smell good too, but not that many.

Like some people at church & at work just put too much on, or some people don't bathe very much & pile on the perfume, not realizng how bad they really smell. Some people don't realize what they put on does not mix with their chemistry after & few minutes but it might smell nice right from the bottle & on others.

Patchouli oil from the East is like that to me. I can't take it.

I gag when I am near an Abercrombie store - I don't know if they pump that cologne in the air along with the extremely loud music.... but it permeates that area of the mall!!! Did anyone here notice that or is it just the 2 malls I go to?
I move to the other side of the area when I have to pass by that store, to spare my baby and me
