So would I. A coworker has started spraying the area with a strong
citrus scent, because of another coworker who likes to work with his
smelly feet bare. I'm several cublicles away from both of them, but
at my desk the citrus scent is *much* stronger than if I slice an
orange in two and hold it an inch from my nose. The overwhelming odor
makes my eyes water, and is making it difficult for me to eat anything
at my desk.

I should think that would be the sort of thing you could complain
to the boss about. Unless you have an exceptionally unreasonable
boss.


So many people are "nose-blind" that I find complaining about over-strong perfumes merely gets a blank look from bosses. I really should go home sick more often instead of "toughing it out" and maybe they'd get the message.
