Today, I started my job selling perfume in a department store. I decided to be creative and sprayed a little perfume towards the first person who walked by. She had an allergic reaction, and an ambulance had to be called. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was working in a call center when I smelled perfume. I'm allergic, and it triggered my asthma. When I came back, some jerk had sprayed it all over my work area. I couldn't go near it for the rest of my shift, therefore I had to go home early, and got my paycheck docked. FML
Today, I started my new job at a fragrance store. While training, the manager had me smell all of the scents to become familiar with the products. Before my shift was over, I'd had three asthma attacks. FML
Today, I discovered I'm allergic to the new perfume I bought and now I smell like a hospital. FML
Today, I was at Bath and Body Works with a friend of mine. She wanted me to smell a particular lotion and when she brought it up to my nose, she squeezed the bottle and lotion went all over my face. Right after, a worker came by and commented how the lotion "got a little too excited". FML
Today, I had to walk through the women's perfume section to get to my normal aftershave. A woman was trying out a perfume, which she squirted on herself and me. You can imagine the afternoon I had to endure after I got home to my wife and she could smell "some slut's scent" all over me. FML
Today, I had an allergic reaction to my deodorant. My armpits wouldn't stop itching, and by the time my shift was over, they were raw and bloody. FML
Today, I used so many different perfume testers that I passed out on the bus. FML
Today, I was at a restaurant waiting for a table. Some lady walked by, smelling like BO and patchouli oil. I attempted to cover my nose with my sweatshirt, but I thumped a small girl in the process. FML
Today, as I came out of changing rooms in a clothes shop, I gave back all the stuff I'd tried on to a saleswoman. I then walked off, made it a couple of yards, changed my mind, and decided to purchase one of the items I'd tried. When I got back, the saleswoman was spraying the changing room I'd used with deodorant. FML
Today, while in a pharmacy, I walked over to the shaving cream aisle. I picked up a can to smell it and unknowingly pushed the button, spraying an old guy in front of me. He freaked out and started telling everyone that the ceiling above him was leaking. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I would be seriously annoyed if someone sprayed me with perfume without asking me, allergy or not. Asshole move. You should ask people beforehand, OP, YDI

"Today, I was trying to buy some clothing, but some random bitch of a salesperson decided to spray me with perfume. I'm allergic. She almost killed me. FML"

I hate it when people do something that harms another person and they write F MY life.

Use common sense, if you don't know if people are allergic to something, its best to not do it.

Yeah I'd be kinda pissed if someone randomly sprayed perfume on me. It's a creative idea in theory, but everyone has different things that they like. Also if I'm already wearing perfume, I don't want some other funky mixing with mine :P

How the **** was that creative? It's practically a cliche.

Always ask if your job involves interaction with the customer. You're representing the company, and you'll want to show that the company is respectful of everyone

That's why you always ask first. I certainly hope they fired you, because if that's your idea of "creative," you're going to get your employers sued.

I really hope you were fired. Your employer could be sued because of your stupidity.

Yep, it was dumb and rude. But a person with a perfume allergy walking through the perfume department...that's really stupid.

she may not be allergic to the perfume, but an ingredient in it. and a lot of stores have perfume places around the entrance. your comment is like asking if someone is allergic to peanuts, why would they walk through the condiment aisle? cause they need some things else besides it. duh.

So a person with perfume allergies shouldn't go shopping...? I am not allergic to perfume per se, but am super sensitive to artificial fragrances. Being exposed to the wrong one or too much of one can give me a horrific migraine. I would be really mad if someone sprayed me without asking! Not to mention that I'm also allergic to the ingredients of perfume, so some perfumes give me hives when they touch my skin. And if that all sounds crazy - welcome to the world of autoimmune disorders. Where there are no rules and your white blood cells are in charge.

It really isn't stupid. Often times you have to walk through the perfume department to get to another department since it is the only way to get there.

I certainly do hope that 'you' don't open up your own business in retail that deals with perfume and people, #46. Some department stores are stupid enough to put the fragrance department 'right next to the door.' (Macy's, for example.)

Allergic or not, I wouldn't like to get sprayed by a stranger while walking through a store. If you were handing out free food/drink samples would you get creative by throwing full cups at the first person who walked by? You tried, OP, but YDI.

I wouldn't want someone spraying perfume in my face
