Why?

For some reason, I always end up next to the smelly person at the gym. Sometimes, it is the farter. Sometimes it is the I don't' have to wash my gym clothes person. Other times, it is the I will cover up my sweat with tons of perfume person.

The other day, my olfactory senses met a new nemesis. It was like when she was in the shower, instead of washing her special lady areas with soap, she accidentally picked up an onion and used that.

I'm sorry if this is gross to READ, but it was even worse to SMELL.

Why does this keep happening to me?

    I thought I was going to throw up, but I was 15 minutes into a 30 minute cardio session, and I couldn't stop. Her poor husband/boyfriend. One shower would not get rid of that.

    I think being the incredibly drippy sweaty girl who LOOKS like she probably smells keeps most of them away from me.

    I did have Mr. Uses Too Much Aftershave Guy once. My throat closed up and I thought my eyes were on fire.

    Sadly, I've been the farty girl. :embarassed: I like fiber. What can I say?!

    I just don't' get it. I'm a good person. I say please and thank you. I pay my taxes. What have I done to deserve this?

    Ditto!

    But seriously, maybe your gym needs better ventilation? Is there a fan you can do your workout near?

    NO FAN!

    I'm kind of a mouth breather. Maybe I could wear nose plugs.

    It's funny when it happens to someone else. If it was anyone but me, I would think it was hilarious. FML.

    Maybe. Or on her steak sandwich.

    Her breath should be fresh then.

    Hah! I don't know about that. Maybe the onion was in lieu of a shower.

    Put a turnip on the soap dish. They don't smell as bad.

    I don't KNOW her. I can't exactly hijack the stranger's soapdish. THINK!

    You are funny. Cancel the onion scented soap on a rope gift set.

    What a lovely gift idea. Especially when combined with the haddock scented body spray.

    You might as well be working out next to the Gorton's Fisherman.

    Next time someone works out next to you wearing a raincoat. You should move far away.

    The actual reason this happens to you is what we in the medical field call "A **** Magnet". There is another, less used term that I use for myself; "An Ingredient to **** Cookies" take your pick! :drinker:
