    I recently had to close my store for an hour, because I was the only one working and couldn’t breath due to one customers bad hygiene. People treat me like I’m overly sensitive or making up my discomfort, but to me it feels like being suffocated.

    Also I can totally smell roaches, they smell worse than any other thing in existence. Never smelled an ant though. Did not know that was possible.

      I don’t even have the greastest sense of smell, I might even consider it impaired, but personal experience begs me to suggest never applying at your local public library then.

        Libraries are havens for unhoused people. They don’t have to pay to sit in the air conditioning and read a book.

        If we were a society about helping people we would have just installed showers at the libraries ages ago.

          I work at a library and they wouldn’t let us install them when we built a new building. We do though have a place nearby that lets people clean up but not stay there.

      Same, but I’m starting to think you need a pretty sizable infestation in a nearby wall for this to be a thing.

        Best way to get rid of bedbugs is by turning your house into a temporary sauna. Ensuring everywhere reaches some 50º Celsius will kill all the little fuckers.

      I don’t have a particularly good sense of smell but I can tell you with confidence that rotting whale smells - bad.
