Uh oh…I’m feeling a rant come’n on!

As anyone of my Facebook friends have read on my status, this may come as a repeat to you. But not in as much detail!

I was picking up Miss J from kindergarten today and like all of us parents do, we all wait outside the gate until they unlock the gate at 12:08 and we all stampede like a herd of cows through the gates to sign out our kids (I swear my flip-flop gets stepped on every damn time, it never fails!).

But today while waiting, this older lady walks by with this overabundance of perfume. TOTALLY NOT OKAY! I mean my nose hurt so bad after taking a few breaths in, I had to resort to breathing through my mouth and just deal with the taste of this womans perfume. Now this could have been a really nice expensive perfume but to me it smelled like the dollar store version of “Sunflowers”, member that perfume (I know someone with the initials with JJK remembers it), now back when I was 15 I loved that perfume, but come on, half the bottle on one person?

Well as I was walking home with Miss J I started thinking about guidelines for wearing perfume, and I really hope everyone in the world will read this so we can all save each other.

1) Perfume IS ok!
2) BUT the person 5 tables down from you should NOT be able to smell it.
3) You should be the only one who smells it the strongest.
4) Your Husband/boyfriend/Partner should be able to smell it.
5) And lastly, ONLY people you hug or people who are in your ”personal space bubble” should smell it.

I don’t think those are unreasonable guidelines. And just think, you could be reading this and YOU may be that offender! So you’re welcome. :-)
