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

YDI. Enough people are allergic, it's actually quite common, it shouldn't be difficult to figure out that somebody might be allergic. Plus some people just don't like perfume and don't want it sprayed at them, I know I wouldn't want it sprayed at me as I hate most perfumes. I also have asthma and perfume being sprayed around me can trigger it, and I would not be happy if it was triggered because somebody was doing something like that. I've noticed it seems to be a fairly common complaint among people with asthma too. And some people just might be wearing a perfume already that they'd rather smell like, it's why they picked that one to use, why would they want you to spray perfume at them so they can smell like something else (or some combination of both scents)? It's just bad for many reasons, and it should be common sense to avoid spraying perfume at people, sadly common sense is the least common thing in the world.

What happened to spraying it on that piece of paper and handing it to people?

No man, you spray it on the paper and ask hold that out along with the perfume to ask them of they want to smell or try it. You can't just go around spritzing people man.

If I was shopping and somebody sprayed me. I'd be Pissed because 1. I'm already wearing perfume. 2. you can't always mix scents. 3. I'd rather not choke

YDI. Nobody likes that asshole who sprays perfume in their general direction while shopping. Fun fact: a lot of high end perfumes are made from whale vomit making them even LESS appealing to apply to your person.

You ******* idiot. I don't think I've ever seen a more deserved YDI FML. This is exactly why most companies enforce a "no perfumes/colognes" rule for their employees.
