TMI Tuesday: June 2nd Edition

[ThePregosaurus]

This week's TMI brought to you by me sitting on the toilet at work.

[ThePregosaurus]

I recognize the scent of poopourri in the bathroom. I know when you poop, coworkers! Then I cover it up with my own.

I kept forgetting to buy deodorant, so yesterday when I finally picked some up I seriously considered opening that sucker up in the check out line. It was a hot day...

Edit: that not at

I, too, have to waiting for TMI Tuesday. I have a couple...
I had to have my ingrown toenail cut out yesterday. It was disgusting and so much blood. I almost passed out.
Also, my poop was so hard yesterday that I've entered the magical land of hemorrhoids again. Great.

Ooo, I'm glad I didn't have blood with my ingrown toenail. Just a bunch of nasty puss which was really gross... but the zit popper in me kept trying to squeeze more puss out... I'm so glad mine better now, it was a rough 2 weeks.

I cut that mole off with a scalpel. It bled so much, but it had been bleeding because it kept getting caught in my bra. It was terrible

I used to call the citrus scent "shittrus", bleh!

I've had some sort of weird canker sore on my lower lip for over a week, and have been using it as an excuse to rinse my mouth with Jack Daniel's honey whiskey at the end of the evening because I'm too busy/lazy to buy an appropriate treatment. I've also been avoiding brushing that area of my mouth so I'm sure my teeth are rotting and my breath smells like the bathroom ThePregosaurus 's office.

It is finally getting better.

Umm...where did you get a scalpel from? Just keep one on hand in the off chance you will need it?

Haha we have them for cutting rooster combs so they don't get frost bite in the winter ! We buy them at the feed store.

Is everyone else as intrigued by chicorojo's farm life as I am? I live in suburbia so the only chickens we see are in a petting zoo.

Re warts: my hands were completely covered in warts when I was in 3rd grade. The first thing the dermatologist said was that I needed a witch doctor. I had to go about once a month for a year to have them frozen off. It was very painful. I haven't had any warts since then.

Mine: I have a plantar wart (a tiny one) that I was too scared to do anything with during pregnancy so now I'm using those bandaids and OMG I hate this. Sometimes I wonder why I'm bothering to so anything about it because they eventually resolve themselves and it wasn't hurting or anything.

Then the sane part of me reminds me that I'd like to get a foot rub from DH ever again so I suck it up and put on a new bandaid.

I use apple cider vinegar on warts, works faster, less painful.

That's the worst. Sometimes I think people shouldn't even try to cover it up. Walking into a bathroom smelling like shit roses is kinda gross lol

Is this an American thing? Nowhere that I have ever worked or attended school, meetings, workshops, etc. has ever had air freshener in the bathroom.

I can assure you that Canadians' shit stinks too. I guess we just don't care. XD

The air freshener isn't provided at my workplace. We just kind of bring our own in with us if we have it, which is most def not everyone. Every now and then someone will leave a bottle in there but I'm sure it's just because they forgot it. Do you know what poopourri is? If not, I recommend going to poopourri.com and watching the commercial. Funny stuff! My mom gave it out for Christmas last year (gives a slight Christmasy kind of scent over your poo) and I actually find it works pretty well. Much better than the aerosol spray kind anyway. I'd rather smell that slightly perfumey crap than Montezuma himself. I used to never go at work and now I can. Although I feel like the spray scent kind of lingers on my clothes after.

Miss Killjoy, I'm intrigued. These "scent free" places... Does that include like perfume that someone would wear on their person? If you work there you cant wear perfume? Or??

I forgot to post this last week so it's a TMI two weeks in the making...

So I was gardening. It was really hot so I took off the long sleeve shirt I was wearing and just had a tank on. Rubbing the sweat from my brow when I was nearly done, talking to my H, he looks at me with a mildly disgusted face and said something is under your arm. Hair. So much hair. I'm not sure how but I managed to completely forget to shave my underarms in at least a month.

[chicorojo]

I want that poo pourri that you put in the toilet before you poop.

We have potpourri! In hindsight I think we aren't prone to using air freshener because nearly every workplace and public building here is designated "scent free" due to allergies. I'm actually really glad now that Canadians don't tend to carry around air freshener because I'd probably be allergic to it the way I am to most perfume and fragrance.

People would hate if others were using air freshener. Basically we would rather you stink up the washroom than use a scented product. XD

Not that I'm fond of the smell of bathrooms but I would love scent free places. No aggressive perfume/cologne? Tell me where!

Absolutely no perfume. Pretty much no one wears perfume here in any professional setting unless they actually sell it...

Every time I walk by someone who has perfume or cologne on I'm always surprised. I forget it exists until some college kid walks by (because college/uni is technically scent free too but good luck enforcing it). Or an elderly woman.

So that's it. Perfume is a young-and-overdoing-it or old person thing here.

That's it. I'm moving to Canada.

Count me in as well!!

[happyfeet9]

Well then I guess I can't move to Canada :/ I hate scented candles and potpourri but I really love the smell of perfume. I don't bathe in it like some people but I enjoy placing it in strategic places.

[nbateman5]

Miss Killjoy scent free rules, never heard of that! We def don't have any rules as far as scents go, does that apply to body odor too hahaha....

[jesster88]

"I hate scented things" was going to be my UO this week. When I was pregnant I had to hold my breath if I walked pas bath and body works. Like I would rather smell poop than their stuff. I love scents that occur naturally like citrus or food cooking, but I just can't with synthetic stuff.

When I worked for a US office of a Canadian company, I remember a rule about no scents during my orientation training. It wasn't enforced here and my coworkers are generally male so I don't have to de with their bathroom smells anyways. With regard to mgk207 's point about no offending people, there were some miscommunication about "suggested" policies. The US employees saw it as optional aka not going to do it, but it really meant that it was expected, they just wanted to seem more pleasant and call it a suggestion.
