Filthy Stinking Humans

I'm having a problem with the smell of humans. Where I work, there are a lot of people coming through all the time. I've gotten to the point of holding my breath when I walk past the main areas they gather.

The smells that bother me the most are food smells. I can't stand people who smell like dinner. I don't mean a specific food smell, but like they hang their coats in the kitchen and all the dinners they've had are embedded in the cloth. I don't think people should smell like food. I'd rather they smell like cigars, or bleach, or just about anything - but not food.

Second worst are hair smells. If you aren't familiar with hair smells, scratch your head and smell your fingernails. Now, imagine that smell so strong someone walking past you could smell it. I don't know how the smell gets that strong. It's not like I'm working around homeless people. These are normal, everyday people - well-dressed, clean-looking, yet stinky.

It's really hard to help someone with Zim's voice in my head - 'Filthy, stinking, humans.'
