Is brown bagging too smelly for you?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It was gratifying to see I was not the only one brown bagging it to work. As I was reading your responses involving money saved, pounds lost and yummy sounding lunches, I did feel the need to come clean about a pet peeve when it comes to eating in the office.
On my floor, the sole microwave shares a tiny cubby with office supplies right off the main seating area. I have to sheepishly confess, the smell of microwave meals heated in progression, Italian, followed by curry followed by Chinese, wafting through the hallways can be a bit disconcerting, and not in a good way. I guess it’s the same odiferous concern when sitting near someone having tuna or egg salad, or even worse, one of my husband’s favorites, sardines (which I have banned him from taking to work).
Does anyone you sit near bring in anything particularly stinky? How do you deal with that?
