13196210, new coworker smells like a ham sandwich
Posted by jdub1313, Thu Sep-21-17 07:26 AM
only reason i know its this person is because they just got here and it didn't smell like that before.

its strong and wafty too.

its too early in the morning for a hot ham and cheese.

people stop by my desk and shoot the shit all the time, now they are going to suspect its me, but i put on my YSL erry morning

its burning up my nostrils

fuck these half height cubes man. and fuck cubes in general. gonna go squat in an office until someone calls HR.

in here mouth breathing like its allergy season SMH

Except I don't go to offices, I find empty, unused cubes that are in a quiet place and set up shop there. It helps that I work off a laptop. Coworkers are so used to it when I'm not at my desk they just assume I'm off working somewhere else.
13196322, Simple enough question

Are you sure it's not sandwiches themselves you're smelling instead of blaming the dude himself for emitting that odor? Does the scent last for the whole 7 or 8 hours you're stuck in the cubicle?
13196375, nah man, who's cooking sammiches at 8am?

and all of a sudden after the new person starts working here its ham sandwich everyday all day??? nah

its bad too. I get up from my desk a lot, now everytime I come back it hits you right in the face.

their whole house probably smells like that and they don't even know it.

never said it was a dude, but i'm really not trying to go there given the climate around here, lol.
13196628, My apolgies for the assumption on my part there.

Your correction there puts a whole other spin to the story, but I'll bite my tongue. Is there anyway you could go to HR and explain the situation or at least request a change in cubicle location? That sounds like a pretty stressful situation to have to deal with someone else's odor for 8 hours daily.
13196631, bruh, you never smelled the hoagie underarm stench before

new coworker gets breakfast from downstairs every morning.

Fried egg or egg sandwich or something.

puts hot sauce on it and then heats it up in the microwave.

like Louisiana Red or Texas Pete or some shit.

at 830am.

whole area smells like hot sauce at 830am.

WTF yo

this is why they smell like a ham sandwich. this shit is coming out of their pores.

assault on my nostrils man
13198918, one of our managers would microwave his broccoli at lunch
Posted by araQual, Mon Oct-02-17 09:31 AM
every single day.
the whole office would wonder why it suddenly smelled like a septic tank during lunchtime every freakn day. apparently zapped broccoli smells like shit. mixed with a dead person. or a dead person's shit?
and i'm no expert but wouldn't zapping the shit out of the broccoli deplete its nutrients?
2yrs of this lol.
glad i got the fuck out.
