A guy that bathes in crappy cologne or sits upwind from you at an outdoor cafe and blows smoke in your face?

I've decided crappy cologne is worse. The office next to me smells like a display of aqua velva was knocked over at the local Walmart. How does he not know how bad that smells?!

    crappy cologne is worst.

    the cig smoke... as its shortening my lifespan
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    cigarette smoke doesn't really bother me, honestly. Smelling it in clubs/bars made me feel short of breath when I was pregnant...but maybe that was in my head? lol Cologne is horrible. Nothing worse than standing next to Mr. Too Much Cologne on the packed morning train!

    As much as I hate men who wear too much cologne..I have to go with the blowing smoke in my face. I absolutely hate cigarette smoke or cigars for that matter.

    I agree... smoke stinks and annoys me, but bad cologne actually makes me gag, and you're right, it doesn't go away.

    the cologne. sometimes i like the smoke becos it simultaneously and totally contradictorily makes me drool and reminds me why i don't smoke.

    cologne for me. That stuff goes right up my nose and my head instantly starts to hurt. and it's the type of headache that just doesn't go away quickly. And it's not even a headache as it is a face ache, hopefully that makes sense to you guys. I do not know how else to describe the feeling. I am a nonsmoker for 13+ years now but smoke does not bother me as much as cologne.

    I hate cigarette smoke. In the bar its tolerable, but anywhere else its not. It can literally make me sick to my stomach to have the smell stuck to my clothes. Don't know if I'd say the smoker is rude, but its hard not to see the habit as trashy and gross.

    I know a lot of people who can't tolerate heavy perfume/ cologne smells, but it doesn't bother me. If I smell someone like that I'll say, "he wore enough for all of us."

    Speaking to someone who's just come in from smoking is like having them fart out their mouth.

    every since i quit smoking, i find all smokers deeply offensive. are you people fucking stupid, or just plain indifferent?

    um, no...it doesn't!
    obviously, there is no smoking in my office....we are on the 32nd floor....and yet i STILL smell the REEK of smoke on a coworker nearby....her cube stinks.....just walking past her wafts the absolute stench of cigarettes. it's disgusting.


    granted, not a fan of people who bathe in cologne either.


    also, as dunk pointed out, someone blowing smoke in my face is actually shortening my lifespan, possibly increasing my risk for cancer, etc. as i did smoke for 20 years and quit.....i did enough damage to myself all on my own :p...i prefer others don't inflict anymore.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Cheap cologne can be unpleasant, but not in the same league as cigarette smoke. I was, and am still, over the moon at the public places smoking ban :D
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    The cologne because sometimes I end up smelling like a cheap vinyl siding salesman on a hot summer day in the middle of a swamp...and that is just from one of these gents sitting near me...

    I kinda like the smell of cigarette smoke...so that one isn't a prob to me...I want blackish lungs...they are slimming. ;)
