and unfortunately I have to spend four hours a day commuting on public
transportation. Today this one woman was so bad. She sat in the middle of
the bus and the whole coach stunk up. Thank God for rescue inhalers.
Anyway, I remember once hearing about a business card that had a message
printed on it about the dangers of excessive perfume/cologne. I would love
to get ahold of them to pass them out to people like that. Or maybe someone
has a message I could self-print on the cards. One side English, the other
Spanish would help.
Any ideas?

Unfortunate for you... it's PUBLIC transportation you friggin' imbecile....
perhaps folks don't want to sit next to you either, 'cause you're ugly, you
don't bathe, you have buck teeth, you're rampantly gay, because you're the
retarded kid. Get outta here, TROLL!

Well, wasn't that a petty rant...Some people just don't realize that there
is a difference between being in public and inflicting themselves upon the
public. Individuals in a public place are usually expected to uphold the
minimal societal values of decency and respect...unfortunately, as Penmart01
demonstrates all too well, this is not the case for all individuals in a
public place.
The cards are a nice idea, if they can be handed out in a subtle
fashion...especially those that are poilte but kindly explain the possible
consequences to someone with a respiratory ailment. I don't know of a
source, but I'll keep my eyes open.
I do, however, have a less subtle approach: a 1/2 mask respirator with an
organic vapour/p100 particulate filter does wonders for eliminating such
things as perfumes and a good portion of the particulates in cigarette
smoke...and it drives the point home with about as much tact as Penmart01.
Cheers,

Aren't you the guy selling air filters?
The truth is, heavy scents can trigger asthma attacks. Which can be serious
things. I'm trying to find a polite way of telling people that.
Sheldon? People still call their kids Sheldon? The cost of a name change
would have been cheaper than the doctor bills your folks must have paid from
you getting beaten up every day.

I have the same problem with heavy amounts of perfume and unfortunately
being on transportation is hard for me too. I tend to sit close to the
front where there is more ventilation from the door opening. I usually
pretreat before I go somewhere I know I can have a flare up.

I often wonder if these folks have no sense of smell. Perfume isn't meant
to be strong enough to be smelled ten feet away. I've been walking down
the street and walked through clouds of perfume eminating from a
passerby. PHEW!
Once, while in the hospital, one of the nurses came in my room wearing
enough perfume to choke a horse. I had to ask her to leave (in between
gasping for breath).

Didja ever surmise the medicos would rather the scent of Evening In Paris than
the putrid stench eminating from medicated bodies, puke basins, and bed pans...
you think it's fun being subjected to redolent STINKIN" sick people. You can't
get along then slither back under your rock... this planet ain't all about your
friggin' asthma, you self centered intolerant whiney dumb bastard... next thing
yoose selfish douche bags will wanna ban flowers n' sunshine.

I know someone has the cards you refer to, but for the life of me I cannot
remember who. I will check around. I have been thinking about fixing up some
myself. But they would not be for sale, I would put the info up on my
website and people could use it to have their own cards made.
