Please dont wear perfumes to the gym

Thank you. For those of you who are protesting this idea, there are some scent-free workplaces. Do you complain about schools that implement peanut-free lunch rules? No? Because you don't think it's OK for kids to have to worry about going to the hospital after lunch break?

Yes, I try to balance my horrendously-bad allergies with other people's freedom to smell however they want, but when you're dousing yourself in perfume after your workout in our small locker room, then you're just a d-bag.

As a mother of a son allergic to peanuts, yes I DO and did complain about peanut free lunch rules. My son knows not to stick his hand in other peoples lunch boxes. And my daughter shouldnt be limited by my sons allergies.

YOU have the allergy, its YOUR responsibility to cope and figure out alternatives, not everybody elses

When it comes to children and peanuts, I completely disagree. Kids don't always know enough to protect themselves and don't always make the best decisions. They shouldn't risk death because the behave like children. It is our responsibility to protect them. My daughter has a child in her class with a severe peanut allergy. We switched her to sunflower butter instead of peanut butter - a super easy fix that in no way limited my child. Kids who want to eat peanut butter can eat all they want at home. A child's deadly allergy trumps any other child's love of peanut butter every single time. It's also a useful lesson to teach kids that we sometimes have to look out for and think of other people before ourselves.

If everyone used common courtesy and didn't worry so much about how someone else's allergy or intolerance impacted their freedom, I imagine the world would be a better place.

Good luck, it does look funny, so keep wearing fake eye lashes please lol

I will trust me because it's even funnier when I see girls like you on the machines judging woman like me in the den lifting heavy...for wearing false eye lashes and expensive cloths assuming we are there to pick up or look for guys...

When in fact this one is married to a much younger man and is there to work out and build strengh and don't really give a crap what the girls on the treadmills/ellipitcals/stair steppers think cause we are too busy concentratig on our form and getting that 180lb DL up 5x or that 150lb squat up 5x5...

Again, this is where education is important. Peanut induced Anaphylactic shock, and death, is extremely rare. Most kids who are allergic to peanuts simply get hives. The very few, (less than one half of one percent) who have extreme reactions have epi pens. And if they are that allergic, it is even MORE important for them to be exposed to daily routine that includes peanuts. You are doing that child no favors by sheltering her. You are doing more harm than good.

I wonder why if a girl wears perfume/makeup, that it's anyone's business.

There are showers in every gym...It's a horror with perfums over the sweat. And girls with fake eye lashes who parade in expensive clothes looking for guys...lol

have some peanut butter with that jelly


if you can afford it

I'm not a fan of perfume at all (it bothers my allergies) but if someone is coming to work out from work or something they got ready for before going to the gym and they wear makeup/perfume/whatever else, I don't fault them for it.

true, but there are people who get dolled up just to go to the gym. makes no sense.
