We got a young placement studnet with us - who I swear has NEVER used deodorent. The smell is unbelieveably overpowering - it's got to the point where we all talk about it in code. What's the forecast today sums it up.
I can't bear to talk to him for more than a minute cause my nostril hairs start shrivelling ...

being a foody is my only pleasure in life.
Unfortunately its being spoiled at the moment by an ignorant colleague who goes out and returns stinking of ciggie smoke. The only way I can get back is by chewing loudly and slurrrpping my drinks because I know he hates it. heh heh

I used to work with a fatty, who was always on a diet and bought salad ready meals from Sainsbury. But he'd literally smother them with full-fat salad cream.Originally posted by PintoMy colleague that sits next to me chews with his mouth open. All those lip smacking noises etc just drive me insane
. So, I've resorted to going out for a fag whenever he eats. The trouble is he's constantly eating, particularly fruit, which he's when he at his noisiest.
fat bastard!
oh yeah. Forgot to add:
He also slurps his drinks. Fat bastard!
After a while the sickly acrid smell of salad cream (much as I like it myself in moderation) used to get on my nerves, and just like you I'd have to go for a fag when he reached for the salad cream bottle.

Any woman up to 75 is welcome to rummage in my pockets. A few misdirected bodily functions are never a problem either.

I used to sit next to a woman in her 40's who had coughing fits, sounded like a bloke puking for 10 minutes, and she always seemed to manage to turn towards someone when she did it, making them cringe away.
She also used to get far, far too close to people when talking to them... you'd end up leaning a good foot away from her but she seemed oblivious...
One day I had a door pass in my pocket that she wanted to borrow and leant ominously towards me and asked me 'do you want me to look for it..?'.
Yuk.
