And I can't figure out what it is. It's definitely not me. Obviously I smelled myself up and down to make sure. Checked all my desk drawers and trash can and everything. It's, like, not constant but every now I then I get a whiff of something terrible. What could it be?

Stale fart in your chair.

The person closest to you smells and when the air flow is right their smell drifts over to you. Call them on it.

Just smelled all my drawers again and one of my drawers smells like banana pudding. But I know for a fact that no banana pudding has ever been in that drawer. What the hell is going on?

If I am then strokes aren't near as bad as I thought they would be.

this happened to me at my office a few weeks ago. i spent the entire day smelling something weird. i checked all desks around mine and nothing stood out. it was by my chair about 6 feet in the air, that's where the smell was located. it smelled like onions or something weird.

i spent the entire day smelling it and checked every square inch of my cube. nothing. i came in the next day and it was gone.

This brings up a great question that I have differing thoughts on...

When you are in a group (non bff's) and all of a sudden you smell what can only be described as an explosion of bodily gas between two butt cheeks........how do you respond? You don't want people to think it's you but it is also looked at as immature to bring it up and act all "omg! did somebody just tooooot??" I normally just wait it out and blame it on the first disgusting smelling human being to leave the group. Works out great most of the time.

Yup. There is a nebraskan somewhere around.

Good news, the smell has vanished just as mysteriously as it appeared.

Speaking of weird smells, has anyone had a sinus infection and it caused everything that has a strong aroma, good or not, smell the same and gross? I had one last month that everything i smelled, smelled gross. Even like food I really like smelled gross. Made it hard to eat because I could not taste very well becaue smell is a large part of taste. Anyway just wanted to share my unfortunate sinus infection story but didn't want to start a new thread.

Nope, it's back. I think it might be sabotage. This morning a co-worker said to me "How bout those Wildcats" and I said "How bout your face Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)" and just kept walking so I think maybe he planted something smelly in my desk.

I always pretend I don't know what they are talking about when someone brings up the wildcats after a loss. Like this

A-hole: Howbout those wildcats
Me: what about them?
A-HOle: they lost last nite
Me: Oh, I wouldn't know I was to busy banging you wife last night to watch.

Really takes the sting out and makes them feel stupid. And if you could work it out that you really sexed their wife, even better.

It's usually red onions in your trash can or a near by trash can.

Wendy's onions are the worst.

There's a Deep Purple and/or Aggieville Creepster joke in here somewhere.

today. sure did bro, 1/4lb burger (no pickles/onion/tomato) and a 5 piece spicy chicken nuggets.

_33 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 13, 2011, 03:28:27 PM »

I hate now how they ask you every time you order nuggets whether you want spicy or regular. Hey guess what, if I wanted spicy I would have said spicy. No one is just going to order nuggets and assume you know they want spicy. They will order spicy. Really pisses me off that I have to say "regular" every time.

Clams I've always taken you as a health nut. Why stumble and eat like a fatass??

Probably a brain tumor pressing on your olfactory nerve. Also, even people that generally eat healthfully can splurge on some fast food every once in a while. It's like dudes who are normally careful with their money blowing some cash on some nice home theatre stuff. Why not, you've earned it?
