Human oddities

I found out last week that there are people who find the scent of hair spray to be pleasant.

To say I was surprised would be an understatement.

obsessivewoman and I are regularly perplexed by the panoply of goods that are designed on the assumption that adding scent to something is able to make it smell “fresh” or “clean”. If it isn’t already fresh or clean, adding a masking scent won’t help...

I don't even have a clue about whether hair spray gets some kind of scent deliberately added to it at all. It doesn't smell fresh or clean to me, nor does it smell like flowers or citrus or fake pine. It smells like a railroad spike through the bridge of my glasses.

My boss puts it on in her cube, about eight feet from me.
