Blame coco chanel she was the first to promote perfume by randomly spraying people.

First blowing Nazis, now this? Truly, a depraved mind.

But she didn't launch her perfume until 14 years after this?

The perfectly dash used to break out "demon" from demonstrating is impressive.

Legit, that might actually make me hit someone before I could stop myself.

I inherited my grandmother's sensitive nose. I can't even walk past places like bath & bodyworks because my nose will be stopped up for hours after. There's 5 colognes I know I can use that don't make my nose burn and then clog up, and while I'm certain there are others, the experience of testing them is not something I'm willing to endure.

What's worse for me is that I was a smoker until COVID, which wasn't the reason I quit, it just happened to get going right around the time I smoked my last cigarette. But, while I smoked, it partially suppressed the sensitivity and dulled my sense of smell. After I quit, it was worse than before I smoked. Like, my wife can give a small spritz of something in the room she gets dressed in, and I'll smell it across the house in a minute or two. Before I smoked, I could be that far away and not detect a mild scent like febreeze, and now it makes my nose tickle across the house.

It's freaking annoying as hell.

So, somebody spraying at me without even warning me? I genuinely think I'd react before I could think.

I’m in a similar boat, except that most strong perfumes trigger headaches for me. I’m not really interested in testing to figure out why, I just avoid them as much as I can.

You spray me with perfume without my permission, I absolutely will treat it as assault, because that’s what it is. (Fortunately this isn’t really a thing anymore as far as I’ve come across)

If spitting on someone is assault, spraying them with unknown chemicals must be, too, right?

That's my opinion for sure

I'd really love to see him deal with any given scenario calmly. Just to calibrate.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think that was his "calmly".

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Someone should tell him to smile more, is all I'm saying

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

And they would deservedly receive a fist in return.

Only because his hands were full of something other than umbrella.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There was one strip where he went to order something at a shop, and the guy at the counter nicely said that he didn't have it, but recommended both an alternative, and a nearby competitor that most likely had it.

Everett cried a little and shook his hand for being a good person.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

That's actually my favorite one

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The only reason he didn't punch her is that his hands are full

I don't think I've seen Everett actually hit a woman in one of these strips.
