Not that I’m getting bored behind the desk or anything… 😉

What is your favorite smell you experience everyday and which one you can barely stand? I don’t mean any extreme stuff you can face from time to time, but something that is a part of your regular day.

I love: the smell of ground coffee jar being opened.

I hate: the smell of tea with milk…

Some women in my office like to occasionally spray themselves with some soft of chemically produced ‘body spray’ in the office, makes me gag. Thinking of sending an email round to ask everyone to spray themselves in the bog rather than at their desk, how would they feel if I farted at my desk? some women seem obsessed with cleaniness and smelling of something, isn’t it enough not to smell of anything?
