So it is okay to call people rude, say they do not care, and they have not manner, but it is not okay to comment on a fragrance?

Making comments loud enough for an elderly person to hear, yes that is rude.

I get some fragrances are bad, some people just plain smell, but I'd never make an announcement to tell them so,

I agree with you and I am allergic to most perfumes. The checker and other woman were so out of line. Obviously the person wearing it had to be within hearing range.

There was no reason to hurt anyone's feelings about it. It's ok to say something in a doctor's office, but not in the general public. That was just rude.

@pattiewaddle Unfortunately rudeness is becoming more prevalent. How wonderful that you were there to counteract those ladies' bad behavior. I'm sure that the elderly woman appreciated your gesture and words of kindness.

How about just not say anything ?? Every thought needn't be expressed.

Obviously, this particular cashier is not responsible for the choices of a particular presidential candidate...but I'm afraid you misunderstood my point. It's this type of rudeness and incivility that is prevalent in mainstream America and, consequently, it shouldn't really come as a surprise that our culture has voted such a candidate into popularity. As Bill Maher says...."we get what we deserve."

Hi @chickenbutt

My daughter and husband went grocery shopping today, I stayed at home for the second day of a nasty bout with asthma.

If I had been in the store with someone wearing strong perfume, and I have at times, I would have, and have, moved. As you know, strong scents can be a trigger, but I would never have wanted to insult the wearer, especially an older lady.

Yes, exactly.

Hi Darlin! Yeah, that can really take me down pretty fast. I try to keep my wheezing to myself. I can't even imagine going off on the person.

I think that a lot of people seem to think that everything is about them and everybody else be damned. If they are inconvenienced by something that is done without malice they think they are entitled to go off on people.

If there is one lesson I have learned in this life it is that everything is not about me - it never was, and it never will be. Live and let live, and get the heck out of there as soon as possible when strong perfume invades my weak lungs. hehe

Hope you're feeling better very soon!!

ITA, and thank you

I do everything I can to fight asthma. I read coffee helps, so I am about to start my second cup of the day, I usually limit myself to one.

That woman should have kept her mouth shut, along with the checker. She only had to smell it for a few minutes. OK, maybe she did have breathing problems but it doesn't sound like it. It sounds like she was just a nasty person. Maybe next time she goes shopping she'll get behind somebody who has a baby with a diaper that needs to be changed.
