That was not something I ever expected to happen.

Geologist got hit by a rock. haha. Funny.

As a 47 yr old being hungover really stinks. Self inflicted for sure but it still stinks

Oh, that issue goes away at 48/49, so you can really tie one on and not feel it the next day!

On NYE I saw a young woman making love to a waste basket. Her head was buried in it and we could hear her making some muffled sounds to herself repeating I will never do this again!

[fotze2]

What was the waste basket wearing?

Everyone complains about dart smoke or vape but perfume or cologne is way worse. Old ladies need to be punched in the face.

Agreed. I think I'd rather sit next to a smoker than some person who thinks the directions for perfume/cologne is to spray it on yourself like spray tan.

Holy ####! This!!!

I was at a pub yesterday and a buddy brought his ~20ish something girlfriend...now I dont have a terribly fantastic sense of smell but its like she bathed in perfume or something...it made my eyes water and, not going to lie, made me a bit nauseous.

Its like if a 14 year old drains a can of AXE body spray a day...just be clean people! You dont need to smell like you just knocked over a perfume stand!

No joke, a Dubai chocolate bar was my gift from work this year for a "job well done this year". Wife and I tried it, ate a 1/4 each, then put it back in the fridge. The thing is nasty. Never mind the fact it has like 600 calories. I felt myself getting fatter in my 3 bites. Too lazy to throw it away in case someone who comes over wants to indulge in it for the experience.

Hey, those are like $18.99 at London Drugs. That’s premium corporate appreciation right there.

The funny thing is, if you didn't do a good job, you got the same thing except in a diaper.

2 Canada Post related gear grinders. First is I had a minor issue back in September for some packages due to incorrect info (by a long shot) and more. Requested refund and was approved. Months later, calls to customer service yield nothing. Escalation to management nothing. Everybody can see this minor refund approved, chq to be mailed, info all correct but it won't send. Repeat process 3 times and the same scenario. It must be a dozen employee's looking into how to send $59 back on an approved request. I don't care really about the money, I am over it but come on.

Next gear grinder is I should pay a little more close attention to Canada Post sent flyers. I know seems weird but there are businesses and services being advertised, some with good deals, coupons, new options and services provided. Rather than always researching what is out there, the work is somewhat done for us if we are being honest.

I have customers that smoke all day; the air in the shop smells like cigarettes 30 minutes after they have left.

I might be allergic to perfume, but I prefer that.

The lady in the cubicle behind me is late 50's and I don't know what she's wearing but it's strong and I have to spend the first few hours of every morning inhaling it. I guess I've just got used to it over the years kind of like how you get used to the smell of sour gas when you work at a gas plant but still seems a little unnecessary.

Davidoff cologne. Worst of both worlds. They add cigar smoke or something to the smell so you smell like you're sweating a hand in a Casino in the 70s or something.

My friend sprayed it on me as a joke. We had to drive home with the windows down.
