You know whats worse? When people flipping slather themselves in Bengay before coming to the gym, they put it on so thick that you can be sitting like 50 feet away and your nostrils still start burning and your eyes begin to water.
Pretty much one of the biggest gym "**** you's" I can think of.
Oh, right. Having a sensitive nose and feeling nauseated when people like you use half a bottle of perfume (too much by the way) is called being the "perfume police." It's actually called common courtesy. It's the reason why doctor's offices and other places actually post a sign requesting that you not wear perfume in their facility and some even not allowing staff to wear perfume. We get it. You have a stench to cover, but sometimes your normal body stench is actually less nauseating than your cheap perfume.
Knock it off.
Did you read your own post before you submitted it? How do you know that the poster ("people like you") uses half a bottle of perfume?
Newsflash: If I went to a gym, I wouldn't wear perfume there. I also don't wear it when I visit people in hospitals and nursing homes, or to the doctor/dentist. After decades of working, I've had the misfortune of sitting next to or working alongside women who confused a hint of fragrance with a hit, and men who apparently held stock in cologne companies.
Not once did I even entertain the idea of barring fragrance anywhere. We don't need the perfume police sniffing out what they consider to be "too much," fussing that they don't like a particular fragrance, or tracking the use of even scented soap so that all these things can be banned.
These control freaks should get to work, get back to exercising, and stop marinating in what offends them.

Good grief.
And hopefully not vomit on the stinky person next to us who has no regard for other people. Cute rant, though.
I suffer from MCS have done for many years... and perfume literally makes me sick... I take headaches, nausea, tremors, muscle ache, dizzyness, mood swings and many more symptoms with just one whiff of someone perfume... and have to run for the door.... I was going to a gym about seven years ago.. and went during the day when it was empty or almost empty to avoid smells of deoderants and perfumes... then noticed now and then a smell of lemons.... and no one was there with me... I asked an attendant and she smiled and said OH thats the air fresheners in the ceiling, they come on every few minutes, arent they wonderful........... Ive never been back since... all these things are hazardous to our health.. and every bit as bad as someone elses cigarette smoke, its time more was done to ban perfumes in public places.... even in hospitals nurses are doused in perfume ... I had to mention it to them...they should surely know the dangers to patients. https://www.facebook.com/nursedotcom...50983172311026
Christ! This sounds just like a woman in our department of 50-plus people, who has not only forced everyone else to change their personal grooming but now no one can use air fresheners or Lysol either (although the men come back from the field mighty smelly at times). And what I observed that no one else noticed, is that she made no complaints at all until AFTER she passed her 6-month probation.

Only if they don't wear deodorant and exercise for a long period of time. Perfume on top of body odor would be much worse than just body odor.
Body odor is body odor. It still smells, and I'd rather smell something nice than not.
