I've got this dilemma at work..

[Norm357]

Step 1.
Buy a pair of steel toed boots.

Step 2.
Kick coworker in the taint.


Problem solved.

I've got the door open right now, only to clear out the stench. Tomorrow I'll grab a spray from the cleaners and go from there. I'll shop around for an air ionizer and see if my boss will let me expense it.

Buy some cheap No Smoking signs

Sounds like it is time to establish boundaries. Just did this at work with someone else...

And I'm really hurt that you felt you had to do that to me and then post it online. :mad:

;)

As for him, well, :D there are sprays you can use... :D

Pepper?

I'd tell him straight up that the cigarette stentch bothers you and everytime he walks in the door and stay in your space. Spray something if you have to, but tell him to back off. He's probably not going to quit and obviously doesn't care about his health, so he's not going to care about yours, but I'd buy what Taz recommended and use it as soon as he walks through the door.

I've never had a problem telling a coworker what was on my mind, whether they liked it or not. It's all about the approach. I've always been honest & upfront about things and try to reach a compromise, but sometimes you can't please everyone.

I'm there to work, not socialize. I've always stayed away from office politics and even though I've gotten along with everyone I've ever worked with, I have only made a few good friends. I've avoided cliques because that's the way I want it. I put my headphones on and unless it's work related, people take the hint.

Unless this guy intends on paying your bills when work doesn't get done because he can't shut the hell up, I'd lay the ground rules out whether he likes them or not.

I know it might sound harsh, at least to him, but I've always found the best way to handle things is to be honest & upfront.

I wish you a lot of luck.

Here is your solution





Some of this

You will be all set :p

There is a very nice french cheese called Romadour. If you eat it, you smell nothing. But for all others around you it is terrible. Mix it with garlic and he'll be out for a cigaret every five minutes. So half of your time you'll have silence;):D

That sounds like it might be effective against a werewolf or zombie attack as well...:rolleyes:

:D

That's actually something I was thinking about because I know the cleaners have a real heavy lysol-type spray they use in the bathrooms, I may have to borrow one of those, but those are STRONG.

Problem is he smokes every 10 minutes like clockwork and I know that even that strong spray will get eaten alive. :rolleyes:

That is a heath issue for you and your family. If this guy is smoking around you, the 2nd hand smoke is bad for your health.

As I said, to protect yourself, see my idea





Speaking of smoking, anyone remember them small "explosives" that you would put in someones cigarette and when they light it, it would blow up as a gag. I wonder if they still have em ;)

[CACBAND]

I suggest that next time this person goes out for a smoke you also take a step outside to answer a personal phone call ;). At that point you see a cloud of smoke near this guy and fearing for his safety (he could be on fire you never know) hose the dude down with an extinguisher!

lol - so today I showed up to work and there was a can of Lysol sitting at my boss' desk, it was like a present from God. I started walking around spraying it everytime he comes in.

I'm a pretty straight forward person, but I think this guy is the type that would raise all kinds of hell that I dont need if I were to tell him how bad he smells. I hope he takes the hint.
