Solution, anybody?!

Situation: You have an officemate who wears a perfume that distracts you all the time. You have tried telling indirectly to that person in some conversation that some perfumes are distracting especially while at work. Condition more worse : if you have to work with that person most of the time.

What will you do?

1) You can find out what distracts the colleague and wear that perfume ;) - assuming you like that perfume...even if you don't - you will like since it gets that colleague off of you :-)

2) You can pretend that something smells funny the moment she approaches you :-D and loudly proclaim, "dont know who wears this stupid perfume, i hate it, gosh think of it, if i have to work with such people..." :P

3) Confront the problem ;)

4) If all of the above, post an ad 'Wanted: Jobs with people who wear the perfume that does not distract me' ;)

I just wanted to know which perfume you are using

colleague: XYZ

Once in college, a friend of my happend to use XYZ, and it got allergic to me, and i had to be treated. From then on, XYZ generally causes me headaches :P
