That outdoor smell that sticks to clothing! TMI

When the kids come inside after playing, I can't breathe! And it's not sweat. But those clothes reek and I insist they come off immediately.

The kids come in and hug me and I'm like you smell from the outside - take off those clothes! And dd says that's not nice. So I started holding me nose and praying for air. TMI

Then saying come guys, let's change into fresh clean clothes.

I work with a lot of (married) men and they officially do not wear deodorant. They pass my desk to get to the printer and woooffff. I put married in parentheses because it’s mind boggling that a guy even if he himself will not realize he smells, where is his wife!!?!! It grosses me out and angers me every day separately

People passing me after they cooked fish.
Please.... if you plan on going out afterwards please wear gloves when cutting onions and cooking your fish.

This reminds me of when my sheitel macher told me that she can tell exactly when each person cooked that day especially on Thursdays.

interesting to me that it's on the clothes. I always thought only a bath helped.

I can smell almost any food on someones breath. I can tell what dh ate hours later and other people too. I can smell when my kid has a cold. Confused

Ummmm you would all hate my office. We have no problem with fish, even salmon and sardines. And I put raw onions and hard boiled eggs in my salad almost daily....and I officially always have the best lunches!
Oh....and when I don't have a salad I have falafel or sardines.

I guess I'm living in a different world, or at least working in one. I'm a nurse and work in a hospital. I absolutely cannot stand the smell of marijuana! Cigarette smoke is a very close second.

Oh yeah, yuck to marijuana. why do people smoke skunk anyway Banging head

Reminds me of the hospital that was our second home for a while- the family room- ooh, the smell there- from all the ethnic foods being microwaved Puke

I would run in to grab some water/ice & try not to breathe while there.

Baked chicken makes me gag. And here's another vote for the "outside smell". I also always thought it's on the kids themselves. Never thought that changing clothing would help. Anyways, by the time they come in from playing in the street I wouldn't want them changing into fresh clothing. I just grin and bear it until bath-time.

And I like the smell of cigarettes. Non smoker myself, no smokers in my family. I just enjoy the smell when passing smokers on the street.
