Hubby and I were sitting in a very empty movie theater during the previews. Along came two women who sat in the row in front of us but off to the side so not directly in front of us. That was a good move.

What wasn't so nice was the very strong scent of perfume that came wafting our way. I stayed seated for 30 seconds and said to hubby that we must move. He knew that was coming. As I got up I looked directly at the two women and said, "Which one of you is wearing perfume so heavy it is making me ill?" Then I moved to another section of the theater. I probably left them both with there mouths hanging open.

I may not have handled that very nicely, but I was just so annoyed!!! People have to be totally oblivious to how offensive strong perfume is.
