man..i wish my facemask filtered smells!!

[vash]

the guy in the office next to me. he microwaves a "beyond burger" every morning for breakfast., i've grilled them and pan fried them..mostly eaten them when i buy them from a burger joint.

but microwaving a patty has every cat in the neighborhood salivating. it smells like cat food!! holy crap.

there is now way i could eat that with the smell-preview. i should spritz my facemask with something. oh, i have a tube of deodorant in my desk drawer!! my mask will smell like my pits.

Go get a cheap 3M respirator off of Amazon for the mornings. No smells!

They do make N95 with charcoal lining...

I bought a bunch of those in Las Vegas when we had to drive back through the fires in 2003. We were wearing masks in the 101 Projects 911 for several hours. THe carbon filter really helped on keeping the smoke smell down.

At my wife's old office they just removed the microwave when a few employees would nuke some horrid smelling stuff. It got to be almost a stink battle. Finally the boss said not more.

It is astonishing what some people think is a delicious smelling meal is totally revolting to the majority.

Use one of those Christmas tree air fresheners for cars. Secure the elastic cord around your head. (might need two of them)

damn you..,i have a half mask respirator in my desk!! charcoal filter..yes!! thanks for the reminder.

I diluted some aftershave in a squirt bottle. I give the inside of my cloth mask a couple mists every couple days.

The heck with the respirator. That is retreat.

You need to bring your game to this battle.

Question: What can you do to not so subtly let the co-worker know that his stuff stinks?

Seed the microwave with ______?
Hang the ceiling with air freshners?
Have a scent free meal memo?
Dial things up a notch with something smellier? (durian?)

Vash, you are a funny, creative guy. You can do this.
