Unusually sensitive nose. Blessing? Or curse?

@TheHorse I would take a seat at the back of the class. I hate people that get too close when they speak. I like some space.

@1hopefulman This is a preschool teacher! She is supposed to have kids in her lap during curcle time, kids snuggling with her when she reads to them, etc. I don't know how she'll do if she doesn't address the issue.

That happened to me recently at the preschool. A new teacher had such stinky breath I literally recoiled reflexively from her as she was speaking to me. If I were a kid, I would never let her read a book to me unless she was at least seven feet away.

@TheHorse well some, yes.

@rakski Yeppers.

Do humans ever smell bad to you?

@TheHorse ......Doesn't sound like much humanity in that sentence.

Here, my love. Let me kiss you (breathing dog poop breath in your face). The Humanity!

@TheHorse The worst thing you can do to a dog is to rub their nose in their poop! Dogs have very sensitive senses of smell and rubbing their noses in their poop is like shoving our heads in the toilet after we've used it! Sorry if I'm a bit out of context, but I feel awful for the way that some people who claim to have sensitive noses will treat animals who have the same situation and their humans choose to treat them in such a horrible manner when the animal makes a "mistake" in the wrong place.

@TheHorse Mine is lilac and horses. Hate wet dogs.

The smell of a pine forest is one of my favorites.

@wolfgirl569 Wet dogs can be pretty nasty. So can bad doggy breath.

@TheHorse Even ugly-ville where I currently live is no longer cheap.

Yes, if you want to live in a cow town.

Finding a cheap place to live in California is like trying to find a winning lottery ticket worth 750 million dollars! Unfortunately even the "cow towns" like @TheHorse mentioned aren't cheap anymore. I live 30 miles outside of Paso Robles California which is more or less a cow town and the rents there aren't cheap either. Your only hope for a cheap place to live in California is to share the house with 20 other people! A one bedroom starts at $1500 for a dump and works its way up to over $7500 for something worth inviting company into. The only reason I can afford living here is that I inherited my Mom's place in 2000, and unfortunately it burned down almost a year ago. I'm having to fight to get reimbursed for the loss because the fire was caused by a major company.

Yep. The nose knows if something ain't right.

@TheHorse Sure does. So it's not a curse but a blessing.

That's a good point. If I didn't have a good sense of smell, I'd have burned up more pots and pans than I have.

Oh, me too. Even if they're not trying to hide cataclysmic BO, they still give me a headache.

Eh. I've had allergies all my life. When I can breathe through my nose, I want to celebrate it!

@TheHorse I'm allergic to sulphur and something that I sometimes encounter in Chinese food but I don't know what it is.

I didn't mention the smell.

When do you find it to be a nuisance?

@TheHorse Many times, I remember the recent one when we all were attending this wedding with lots of floral decoration in room with few leaves. There was this slight unusual smell ( not good or bad) of one of the leaves used in decoration. It was too mild and no one noticed but it bothered me as I was not sure about the source of it. So finally me niece asked me to come and smell the decoration. When we went near many could smell it. It was so mild but still I could distinguish it from those of roses and jasmine. I was getting irritated with it as it was not so pleasant like those flowers.
