There are things I would NOT do...

I wouldn't post negatively about a specific neighbor on TOTV.
I wouldn't think that only other people's perfume causes allergies and stinks, while mine does neither.
I would absolutely never spray a household product on myself to remove an odor. Especially because I too get headaches from strong chemicals near my nose. I believe Febreze warns against such use. And then what if someone else wanted a hug and I pass on the Febreze to them?

Most perfumes with any strength, even expensive ones, offend my half-canine schnoz, so I take into account that I'm oversensitive, and conclude that people are less rude than my nose thinks they are.

AMEN. Febreze? Really? Sounds dangerous.
