Mr. "Way Too Much Cologne Weeaarrer!"

Ya know those Budweiser commercials that have the guy purposely singing the cheesy jingle about "Real American Heroes"? Those ones about "Mr. Backyard Bug Zapper Inventor", "Mr. Major Highway Line Painter", "Mr. Basketball Court Sweat Wiper Upper..."

Well, I can't get "Mr. Way Too Much Cologne Wearer" outta my head now. This dude walked past me in the hallway and he left a frickin' trail. It's an extremely clean scent, too. Like a whole case of Coast.
So then I went down to the cafeteria to get a cappucino and he was right in front of me in line. I almost couldn't take it. It's like he just jumped into one of the bins at Bath & Bodyworks and took a nap. Remember when Chris Farley rubbed pine scented car freshener on himself in Tommy Boy? Yeah, it was that; PLUS TAX!
Do you guys know anybody that does this?
Here's a link for all those who are wondering about the Budweiser jingle:

i think cologne/perfume abuse should be considered a criminal misdemeanor and that our law enforcement officers should literally hand out tickets to olfactory offenders! "excessive use of giorgio - that'll be $80, ma'am! we'll see you in nasal court!"

seriously, people who douse themselves in cologne/perfume need to realize that it can make people physically ill. whenever someone is wearing too much scent and they get near me, my sinuses blow up like balloons and i have a sore throat and a headache for the rest of the day. maybe i'm allergic? i don't know. i just think it's air pollution.

It's as if they're not sure it's working unless they can smell it constantly. nod
I would love to know how many sprays the guy in my original post used before saying "yep, that'll do it". Plants were wilting, the dog was hiding, grandma was hittin' on the heavy bag.....

Some people over use their cologne, perfume or aftershave. I cannot stand people that reek of it.

I also get a sore throat when people do this, or with certain scents that aren't that strong. My mom always told me the rule was, if you can smell it on yourself, it's too much.

Anyway... you can always sue them.

DETROIT -- A former top-ranked radio host, who claims she was sickened by a colleague's use of a perfume described as "romantic, sensual, emotional," won $10.6 million in a federal court lawsuit Monday.

Erin Weber, who was on the air at WYCD-FM (99.5), contends in her suit that she was fired in 2001 after she complained about being exposed to Tresor perfume, which sells for $45.50 a bottle and is described by Lancome as a combination of ingredients such as rose and lilac. She said she was sickened by the fumes, a condition that began when a co-worker exposed her to spilled nail-polish remover in the country music station's Southfield studio.

The perfume was worn, her suit said, by another radio personality, Linda Lee, whose legal surname is Bullock.

"I'm thankful that the jury took so much time to come to the right conclusion," Weber, 43, of Cleveland, said after the verdict. "It's a great day."

The verdict awarded her $7 million in punitive damages, $2 million in mental anguish and emotional distress and $1.6 million for past and future compensation after a six-woman jury in U.S. District Court in Detroit spent eight days deliberating.

But can't you ALWAYS smell it on yourself? At least for a few minutes?

shrug I throw on a squirt of CK Eternity for Women every now and then. I can always smell it for a tiny bit of time, then I notice I don't anymore. Feather, show me the way. Is this wrong?! you taught me about lemon juice...
