You're heading for a job interview and you can only wear one: either socks or deodorant. Which one?

Alex · February 08, 2024, 02:13:43 PM

Deodorant. I quite often go without socks.

RCMerchant · February 08, 2024, 02:28:08 PM

I never wear socks.

Trevor · February 08, 2024, 02:53:07 PM

Socks that I pinched off my landlord's washing line😳😉

Socks. I could never go without.

Deodorant is not needed when I use shower gel for body Odor.

Socks for sure. As long as it's not ridiculously hot, I don't perspire that much. But my feet feel nasty if I don't have a nice pair of absorbent cotton socks on them.

What is this thing you speak of? "Interview"? Sounds like a camera going someplace you don't want a camera going. Awake or not.

Is it just me or have you ever noticed heavy coffee-drinkers have a peculiar but not entirely unpleasant smell to them, a little like a burned aroma?

Leah · February 11, 2024, 01:53:35 PM

Maybe? I drink coffee a lot, however my sense of smell is rather good and I don't want to stink.

RCMerchant · February 11, 2024, 04:46:31 PM

I don't drink coffee since I retired. Also it gives me the s**ts.

Alex · February 11, 2024, 04:51:20 PM

I hate the smell of coffee and can often tell a drinker from quite a distance, or if one has been in a room recently.

Trevor · February 11, 2024, 09:04:57 PM

I have one cup every two days: I like a good cup of coffee but not every day.

I am still trying to figure out the first question. Are you saying I can only wear either socks or deodorant and nothing else, or I can still wear everything else and just have to choose between socks and deodorant? If it's the first, what kind of interview is this???

Regarding coffee, I only have a little in the morning because (TMI alert) it makes me poop and then I don't have to worry about that hitting me at an inopportune time later in the day. I think I smell fine. My husband downs it like water though and I don't notice a weird smell on him, but then my mom told me that when you love someone, you don't notice when they stink.

Is CBD the snake oil of the 2020s?
