things that are smelly

I don't understand perfume. To me, it says "Hi, I am presumptuous enough to assume that anyone who gets within 25 feet of me today wants to and should experience this probably nasty old-lady smell. And it will linger 10 minutes after I leave. Oh, and if we're in an enclosed space like a train car? Even better. Enjoy your day!"

The point of perfume isn't so that everyone within 25 feet can smell it. It's supposed to be subtle, so that people within your personal bubble can smell it. If anyone who is entering my personal bubble doesn't like the smell of my perfume, then tough!

That said, I do have a couple friends who seem to bathe in the stuff, and it is no longer a choice of whether or not you want to enter the bubble and smell. It just sort of attacks you. Not cool.
