Help! Drowning in men's cologne!

[icarus]

Gah! Gag! Choke! The guy in the cubicle next to me is wearing

REALLY HEAVY COLOGNE

Hack, hack, hack.

Am visualising buckets of water over his head. Sprinklers. Little storm clouds. A large fan. If only one of these imaginary objects would animate, my problems would be solved!

(You must understand, I really hate cologne in any case, give me good old-fashioned manly sweat any day. Gack. This is the cheap stuff, too.)

I feel your pain. Nearly vomited on some guy in the bus once. Would walking in his cubicle asking "What's that terrible smell? Do you smell it too?" be too obvious?

I recognize you - you've commented before. I was weighing options:

1) Lying and saying I had allergies (alas, I'm honest and have some - inconvenient - ethics).
2) Filling large pitcher with water and -oopsy- tripping right next to him.
3) Coughing and choking loudly, turning a fine shade of purple, just to make the point.

The water idea is winning so far.

LOL!
