Something you may not know about me: I have a really good sense of smell. Like REALLY good. Like I can smell if someone had curry for dinner last night good. My mom says I have a “geh kkoh” or a dog nose if translated.
It’s not so bad sometimes. Like when I’m in a bakery. Or if someone is making cookies. Or if my mom is cooking dinner. Basically whenever there is good food involved. But most of the time, it really does feel like a curse.
There have been numerous times where I’ve suffered greatly, HOWEVER, what kind of college graduate would I be if I didn’t come up with any techniques to help me get through these malodorous incidents.
Technique #1:
Break out the scented chapstick and use about half of the stick on my lips.
Technique #2:
Go to bathroom and wash hands with scented soap. If I am not near a bathroom, I take out my hand sanitizer or hand lotion. Then I sit like this:
.
Thusly, I can only smell my hands AND I look smart and pensive. WIN WIN.
Technique #3:
The greatest technique that took me about 2 years to think of.
MOVE.
that’s right. Move and get over it because honestly, the other person is not going to do anything about their odors, there is no way I can hang an air freshener on my nose no matter how badly I may want it, and I’m definitely not going to say anything about it to them because that is a potentially dangerous and awkward situation waiting to happen.
So that ends my official second post. Not a very thought provoking one, but I hope I helped someone out there who also has a dog nose.
p.s. I hope people don’t start avoiding me because they think that I think they smell. I will still be your friend even if you smell like wet dog (ahemjonathanlee).
