I think its more nuanced. Some people might not like the smell of certain laundry detergents or perfumes. Should people that use these products not be in public? Weed is similar, lots of people are fine with the smell or even enjoy it.

Wearing excessive amounts of perfume in public spaces like restaurants and theaters is also super inconsiderate. We can't expect everyone to cater to our preferences but it isn't hard to not be an asshole

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

Honestly I think the problem is that most people wearing excessive perfume don't realize it/aren't doing it purposefully. Like, some people were just never taught how to use perfume and think you need to spray your entire body head to toe. Makes me think back to the days of Victoria's Secret body spray when girls would douse themselves in it in the bathroom.

I was with you up until "revealing clothes" which are not in the same ballpark as olofactory or aural nusiances. You don't like how someone looks? Don't look at them.

by New-Letterhead-951 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I agree for the most part. I don't think it's ok to be wearing exposing stuff in public areas with children present. Like people wearing nothing but nipple pasties or ass-less chaps. Probably should have specifically said "revealing to the point of near pornographic". You would understandably see this as hyperbolic, but I've seen some things I don't want to see just walking to grab a cup of coffee.

Yeahhh like I get where people like OP are coming from, but right around the "smell gives me a headache" part of their deal I start to thank the person in question is soft and prickly and doesn't have trouble letting people know they're uncomfortable, even when it'd be tactful or respectful not to.

I lucked out in that regard my sense of smell barely works so I don't have to worry about what others smell like.

I think you meant "if you smell strongly of pot in a private space you should be asked to leave" everyone is entitled to occupy a public space no matter their standards of care, but I would prefer not to sit next to the 420 gang at a restaurant while I'm trying to eat, and this is coming from a daily smoker. Don't give us a bad name, have some standards

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

Maybe you should stay inside your home if everyone reeking of something shouldnt be part of society in your own small world. As you wrote we already made it illegal to smoke indoor in most places. But you want everyone who smells a little bit like tobacco to be punished and expelled from society? Thats a problem YOU have, so its your problem. Stay inside.

To be fair, the weed in NYC for example tends to have a pungent smell reminiscent of old sweat. I could see that being rude in places like theaters, similar to strong BO, but not sure about actual enforcement. I find tobacco is bad right after a smoke break, then mostly fades away. The purpose of perfume/cologne literally is to smell good so irrelevant here in my opinion.

by Dull_Foundation 2 weeks ago

O.K. I used to be guilty of this offense and for that I am sorry. I admittedly was very bored in school (community college) and got high daily with a friend of mine at her house right next to campus and flew into school. I heard people say, "Someone smells like pot!" and this was way before it was legal kiddies! Nobody asked me to leave and I always made sure to brush my teeth, wash around my mouth and hands and tried to do better. Now I smell it everywhere and don't even look up. I would rather smell that than cigarettes.

As someone who is very allergic to fragrances, including the ones added to shampoo and laundry detergent and candles (and and and, the list is very long), I'd love to have lots of things banned from public spaces. But that's not realistic or practical or legislatively possible idea. It's personal freedom, if you go down the path of banning personal freedom then things get really scary pretty quickly. The same as not being able to buy birth control because someone else's religious beliefs are against birth control, that kind of scary. We don't need more things like that.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

My daughter has an actual fragrance allergy that affects her so severely that it literally caused her eyes to attack themselves, which then caused them to grow extra blood vessels to try and compensate, which so negatively affected her eyesight and light sensitivity that she was legally blind. It took us almost four years of exams, ointments, doctors appointments, and tests to narrow that down and she is still legally blind in one eye and barely out of legal blind territory in the other after years of treatments. Even with the long road ahead we still have to navigate treatment wise and the money we have had to spend to eliminate all fragrances from our home, you know what I would never expect other people to do? Even to literally change my kids life and save her eyesight? I would never expect the entire PUBLIC to cater to her allergy. And your issue is smell and a possible headache. Geez. Just move seats or go home dude.

by Freilly 2 weeks ago

Wow, that sounds rough. I mean your daughter's allergy. I do get headaches from getting close to people who smell strongly (especially smokers even when they're not smoking at the time) but yes, it's really not that big a deal. Depending on how long I have to stay I decide whether I'll find a polite way to distance myself from them or just leave. And then I do a nasal rinse when I get home.
