I Posted At Merby’s Place!
And got a guest post out of it!
I Was FIRST!
I was First Commenter on Sammy’s Teaser of 6/14/16. It's mine, mine, MINE... and nobody can ever take it from me!
Evil Squirrel's Nest 
I avoid the make-up counter sections of department stores like the plague. I start gagging from 10 feet away. My eyes start water from 5 feet away. I can’t breathe, claustraphobia sets in and the onsets of a panic attack as I am assaulted by the smells as I walk by. So, yeah, I avoid them.
I also avoid Bath and Body Works for the same reason. Though, once a year I do take a huge breath, race in, grab the three things the Queen likes, rush to get checked out, and then make a made dash for the door before I run out of air. Ah, the things we do for the people we love on their birthdays.
I never could stand anything perfumed, which made growing up with four sisters really rough. Now I’ve spent a third of my life working around laundry detergent, fabric softeners, air fresheners, and all kinds of other stuff with chemical scents… but it still makes me sick sometimes.
*gag*
Just thinking about all those smells….
Pardon me while I lose my breakfast….
Ah, the wonderful scent of regurgitation!
Better than parfum eux de skunkette.
Perfume gives me an awful headache. Can’t stand the stuff.
Me too!
What aisles the marijuana?
It’s in….. um….. dude, I forgot!
LOL!!! What?
I think it’s in the sod… er, pop aisle next to the Mello Yello….
Ooo, that was a close one…
Ugh, those and the mall kiosks with the perfume and lotion barkers! Yech. I am allergic to so many things I have to steer clear. It’s like an obstacle course to avoid them.
It’s going to take someone keeling over before we can stop them! Hopefully Buster can be our martyr to stop the perfume insanity!
Buster is the new Suzan Powter.
Does that mean he has to shave his head? 😉
Trouble… Aisle 13. Sounds like the title of a Jonah Hill action comedy.
It’s the one item that’s never out of stock!
A while back my dog was sprayed with a liberal dose of Eau de Skunkette.
I’m still laughing about the deli pick-up.
Sending Buster’s remains to the deli falls in line with Mecca’s goal to recycle whenever they can. Waste not, want not!
exactly that happened to my granny… a woman gave a a full dose of lily of the valley-roadkill-trashcan-whatever. we had to drive home with all windows open :o)
That must have been the latest Paris Hilton perfume!
Gwahaha! Love it, ES! I love parfum, personally… But I hate being assaulted by clouds of samples. He has my sympathies! 😃
Or perhaps in this case, he has your condolences! 😉
Thank you! This is one of my peeves as well… and those stupid magazines that are FULL of perfume samples… blech! I can’t read with watery eyes….
And it’s always for, like, some Beyonce or JLo scent. Hey, one seen those chicks dance. I do not want to smell like a funky post concert diva!
HAHA Best aisle 13 ever. lol
The customers flock to Aisle 13!
I can’t stand scents of any kind either. Apparently it started early on, as my mother got very sick from perfumes when she was pregnant with me.
Throw a lot of that perfumey together, and it can be absolutely nauseating. My four sisters all had Caboodles full of the crap when I was a kid, and when they teamed up, they’d have the whole house reeking in perfume till there was no place to hide….
Four sisters? Ugh, that must have been rough at times
A little. I credit them for me being a little crazy…
I do like perfume but rarely wear it because I know so many people who don’t. Some people really overdo it with the scents too. I shouldn’t be able to smell you before you come into a room. Well, that goes for a lot of things other than perfume, but still….
Ha! We have someone at work who can leave a trail of BO that will linger for minutes after he’s walked by. I could only imagine how bad it would be if it was a mixture of cologne and BO….
Wow, that really would stink.
Funny about that. Over the last week, we’ve had Eau de Skunkette wafting into our home from the woods twice. It’s such a distinctive odeur … Great strip 😉
True story… we have a lot of those critters lingering around my Mecca, and it;s not uncommon for some Eau de Skunkette to waft its way into the store. One night, the telltale smell made it all the way from behind the building to my detergent aisle, and a customer walked by and wrinkled her nose…
“Is that a skunk?” she asked.
“Yeah,” I said, “It gets in through the back door every once in a while.”
I didn’t realize exactly what I had said until I saw the horrified look on her face. “You mean there’s a skunk in the store!!?!?”
This is why I communicate much better in writing than in person! 🙂
On the way out to my jeep tonight I walked through the cloud of cologne a foreign kid had left in his wake. FFS people, you don’t have to bathe in the stuff!!!
Ironically, I think most of the people who bathe in the stuff are trying to cover up the fact that they haven’t bathed in weeks…
With the foreign kids on campus, that is entirely true. When I worked in the Help Desk we had a guy from India working for us. He was a great guy, but he didn’t bathe that often and they apparently don’t believe in deodorant. In the summer he reeked of garlic, onions, and shitty cologne.
I never liked perfume or manufactured scents and I am heading to isle 3 to see gorgeous George! 🙂
Price check on cute!
Nooo, not unicorn nuggets 😦
You never know what’s going to end up in the meat grinder in the world of The Nest! I think Possum Nuggets will be on special tomorrow…
Love the ads on the trolley. I agree with you on over-powering scents. My sister was a fiend with the spray deoderants when we were younger. Now, I can only use the spray (allergic to everything else) but I don’t tend to use a whole can on a daily basis! I suspect a number of people who over-perfume have poor sense of smell. Or they get used to it, so put more on throughout the day. The choir I sing in, they’ve asked for members to not use perfumes/colognes/etc out of respect for the folks who are sensitive to them (and when they have a concert in our Chapel, we don’t use incense at Evening Prayer if it’s one where it would be used).
Every personal hygeine product I have is unscented because I can’t stand the scents. But even still, I put on enough to get me through work. Once I get home, the cats don’t care if I get a little ripe!
And I’m guessing you also wash well in the first place!
You know, I know I had a comment to make but between the top of these comments and this little box, I completely lost it. Where is the Maryjane aisle again? I need a refill for my vaporizer.
