Thought of the Month

Nobody cares about what their friends look like. They care about what their friends smell like.

More evidence that I'm some sort of alien changeling on this planet. I care less than most people do about what people smell like, and more to the point, what I do care about is not natural odors (except in truly extreme cases), it's artificial ones. I find pretty much all fragrance products abhorrent. If you don't have time to shower, I'd much rather you not try to cover it up with perfume.

You just proved my point. It's really hard to hang around someone who douses themself with something stinky.

Agreed. Another unnatural odor I prefer to avoid is tobacco. It tends to be really bad in certain types of clothing. There really ought to be a law against smokers wearing wool sweaters. Also, it gets in their hair. Of natural odors, the one I'm annoyed by most is cat. When people smell like cat, close proximity can sometimes trigger a violent allergic reaction. Next after that, it's about an even tie between a ripe dead animal and a fish market. I've encountered people who smell like both of those things.
