you know, i don't reallly have a problem with food smells. It's the thing that lets me know where I am (for an example, the smell of my house is like hispanic/italian food.)

PS: The guy next to me in editing is eating a burger, and it smells SOOOO GOOD.


You sir, have obviously not ever been the recipient of the old "open jar of mayo in the heating vent" gag. Gag being the operative word.

You could honestly say that my office is on the high end of multicultural.

We share 1 breakroom with a call center on one side of the building and a bunch of network engineers on the other. Then there's my tiny group of 3 that is proposals...simply b/c we were here first and have a production room that can't just move to another building.

Its a rarity for someone around here Not to have some sort of accent, so the food cooresponds to all this, and its not always a good thing.

Throw in the occasional burned bag o popcorn and you've got a regular workweek.

most people would be gagging at several smells i love: the smell of a fully operating machine shop with lubricants and coolent flying with chips churning out (also the warmest place to be in winter i often have said), the smell of a diesel engine as it cranks up, good buck lure, fresh blood of an animal you hunted, and fresh gun smoke followed by the smell of nitro solvent.

I've got to agree with DLOE on the machine shop smell, something about it is just so... biologically neutral.

I'm gonna have to disagree on the tire air, I've worked at a Sears Auto Center long enough to turn me off of car smells. Something even about the "new car smell" that people try to buy out of a can just nauseates me too. I love the smell of leather, but that chemical attempt at leather smell is just wrong.

I hate new car scent as well...it also makes me queasy.

Did anyone actually get the tire air reference that I made? +100 points if you do...

My car smells like leaves. :] It makes me happy.

I have a favorite smell that perhaps is rather strange...dishwasher detergent. The solid kind that you pour. No, I will not do your dishes.

My car used to smell like burnt popcorn when the heater was turned on.
