My Office Smells Like Old Woman

[RayJ1977]

So my bosses' newest secretary came to my office to file something. She didn't make a sound. All of a sudden I smell this horrible old lady smell. My secretary tells me the new secretary wears something called Pachouli (?). Has anyone heard of this?!?!?!? Oh my god. My office smells like 70 year old woman...and I fear it may smell that way for a good....well, ever. Forever. Worst day ever.

patchouli is what hippies wear to cover their non-showered stank. :lol: it's pretty freakin strong.

This one dude at my work wears so much freakin' cologne its insane. I can smell him and he has an office all the way down the hall from where I work.

[RayJ1977]

Strong does not begin to describe.

I'm firing off bug spray to try to offset it. ANYTHING that will make it smell different. And I've put my secretary on lookout...she won't be allowed back in my office ever. If that makes me an awful human being...so be it.

[blueyes]

Ha.

I have a friend who refers to the smell of patchouli as 'eau de dirty hippies'.

It isn't a terribly lingering scent, unless the dirty hippie/secretery takes up residence in your office. Or stashes their perfume/stash in your office. Then you should move. Move as far away as possible.

Cheer up, Ray - it's Wednesday. Only two more days until you can molest your waitress.

Pachouli makes me feel angry. People who wear it should be deported, this shit stunk in the 60's and it still stinks now. Take a bath hippie!!!

[blueyes]

Now, now...maybe Ray is a closet hippie and trying to gauge everyone's reaction to a man wearing the splendid scent of patchouli.

Ray...? Somethin' you want to tell us...? :lol:


(my apologies to hippies, dirty or otherwise.)

How do you really feel?

[RayJ1977]

Blueeyes is only half right.

I am NOT a closet hippie.
I WILL molest my waitress friend. Oh yes...a good molesting is in her future, I do predict.

:evil:

Hahahah, I do NOT associate patchouli with old people at ALL. I associate it with pot smokers. Because that's why hippies used it...to cover up marijuana smell.

yeah that is what i also associated it with. my mom actually wore patchouli when i was a little kid. i thought it was cool! hehe!

[blueyes]

a good molesting
I'd check with the language-savvy of the site...but I'm pretty sure that the phrase 'good molesting' is...um...WRONG.

1 : to annoy, disturb, or persecute esp. with hostile intent or injurious effect

2 : to make annoying sexual advances to; specifically : to force physical and usually sexual contact on

:lol:

Ergo, 'good molesting' = um...WRONG.

isnt "good molesting" like maybe if your wife starts molesting you in the middle of the night??

[blueyes]

I think the definition expressly excludes that, since middle-of-the-night sexual advances are usually welcome, not annoying, and not forced (persay, sleeping people can't object or cooperate, I do realize).

Unless you sleep alone. Then you've got a whole other set of problems, I'd say.

[RayJ1977]

Whatever language you want to use. You know what meaning I am trying to convey.

[WeirdBrake]

Ray... better watch those "good molestings." You could end up getting a "pleasant ass-kicking."

I was just thinking the same thing. I had friends who wore it and I was even in the mix for a while:redface:....A very short while mind you. I couldn't stand the smell. It gave me a headache. I moved on to an oil called Rain. It was much much better. :green:

[shimmer728]

Patchouli is fucking disgusting.

[coll214]

yeah, when i think of patchouli i think of the pseudo-wannabe-hippies i went to HS with who wore it as a badge of honor, in addition to their non-showering. Look at us, we smoke pot and wear patchouli to school and then stink up the entire class for an hour. it's not that i even hate the smell, there are just far more pleasant things that smell much better! lol.

Too funny! And too true!

[tina1979]

I would just like to point out that even though I wore the nasty stuff a few times and hung out with those who probably still wear it today....I always showered.

[coll214]

I always showered.
LOL, tina. That's good :). They all weren't that way, but there was a small group... :googly:

[RayJ1977]

She seriously just had a fight with my secretary about coming back in here. She needed a file and my secretary said she'd get it that I was on a conference call and she needed it NOW! My secretary said she'd have to wait. She tried to barge past her and my secretary stopped her. Sweet. She gets a raise.

[wordsmith]

Okay, in defense of patchouli, (yeah, I do wear it on occasion, although not as much as in my high school arsty bohemian days, and no, I don't smoke weed), it's an essential oil. So a leeeeeeeeeeeeetle bit goes a long way. It's really only offensive if it's not used sparingly. Used properly (like, barely a touch on pressure points), it's actually nice and light and kind of woodsy. But, yeah, patchouli overkill reeks, and since most people who wear it tend to bathe in it to cover the scent of nappy dreads and ganja.
