I have a load of allergies but one of them that is horrid beyond belief is my allergy to cig smoke and "cheap" perfume.
For one when I go to college... the sign that states "DO NOT SMOKE IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING" is there for a reason. It means move your ass! They have smoking areas and you don't need to be parking your butt in front of the doors at all. You chose to smoke... we chose not to. We respect you want to smoke so no one is forcing you to quit but we ask you to respect us and move away from the doors for those who are allergic to the smoke.
Second, perfume. It is suppose to be light and whimsical... not thick and like a dead skunk on the side of the road. All you need to do is one quick spritz not dip yourself. And the funny thing is when it is high quality perfume I am fine... but something is in the cheap perfume that if I am around it and I start feeling sick, I get hives, and I have issues breathing.
I am tired and I feel like a train hit me so I bid everyone goodnight.

To the OP, I could not agree more!
We have a drive through window in my store, and people that smoke at the window piss me off like you wouldn't believe. The smoke drafts into the store, and I am stuck breathing it.
Most perfumes give me an instant headache, women really should learn to apply, not bathe in the stuff.
Good Post.
Much love

I agree with you.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. My husband has allergies to perfumes and stuff and if he walks past someone who bathed in their cheap wal-mart brand perfume or what have you, he has an asthma attack.
What happened to people being taught how to apply makeup and perfume and such by their mothers?
LOL for one I am so proud of myself that it came out so coherant last night. My head was hurting, my throat was hurting, my back was hurting, and I was itching like crazy.
And second it has just been annoying me. I try to say something and I just get nasty remarks. The thing is people can tell me to deal with it all they want but as far as smoking infront of buildings... it is a law. They have put in the law books that is very much inforced that you cannot smoke in front of or in a place of business. You must smoke in designated smoking areas.
And also with the perfume that is in the rules of how to dress and present yourself at work. I have yet to go work for a place of business who hasn't pointed out how perfume should be warn and you can get in trouble for that.
Excellent points, and I couldn't agree more. Perfume shouldn't announce one's presence like a glaring marquis, and it shouldn't make those around it gag and cough.
Smokers should respect the non-smoking areas and realize that if they are standing in front of the doors to a building, it really doesn't give those who need to enter the building any choice but to breathe the second-hand smoke.
Very good post, tired and aching or not.
Excellent post. Having allergies and asthma, myself, I thank you. Sadly, however, I don't think the offenders ever recognize themselves. They always seem to have some way of rationalizing that the rules of smoke-free zones and the common sense of perfume etiquette don't apply to them.
I took my daughter to Applebees for dinner a few weeks ago. A group of women came in, obviously for a girls' night dinner. One of them had on such strong perfume and so much of it, that I felt my throat begin to sieze up before she even slid into the booth across from us. I was coughing within 60 sconds and had to discretly ask the waitress for another table. Maybe I shouldn't have been discrete. Maybe the woman would have gotten the hint.
Nah.
Probably not. She would have announced that I was some sort of rude nut case. Her girlfriends would have probably comforted her with murmurs of agreement, all the while thinking, "She DOES over do it."
And another thing...I am sick of smokers and their "right" to smoke. Puff away all you want. Smoke two or five or ten at a time for all I care. Just do it at your house. I shouldn't have to walk through your chemical filth.
Would you like me to dump a couple barrels of my household waste at the doorway to a building you have to enter?
I'm sorry!
LOL Julie 
I couldn't have agreed more.

Yes!!!! I used to share an office with someone who wore cheap perfume. I could smell it down the hallway when I came into the building and knew that it was going to be an awful day. It was a HUGE office with a conference table in it, so we were separated by quite a bit. I would open my window, which would irritate her. It bothered my lungs, too, and I'd get a tickle in the back of my throat. This has never happened to me with other perfumes. My best friend wears perfume, and I'm fine. My mother wears perfume, and I'm fine. Heck, when I wear perfume, I'm fine. There is something in that cheap stuff!
