Sniffing other people. New cool phenomenon?

    Started a new job a few months ago. Noticed that one girl in my section always starts sniffing anytime shes around me or talking to me. A first I got a bit self conscious and thought that maybe I smelled! (cause they say people that smell never know it themselves?) but then i noticed that she was sniffing other men when talking to them as well. In a way, i think it's king of funny but in a way it's king of weird/annoying. Anyone else ever experienced this crazy sniffing phenomenon? Whats it all about?

    No, she has a cold or flu. That sniffing is to stop snot coming out her schnozz. Case closed.

    I reckon she gets turned on by sniffing the fumes from your cheddar helmet :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 617 ✭✭✭Hells Belle


    maybe she has a cold she cant get rid of, I've had one just going on a month now - I've had lots of blood tests etc but to no avail - doc reckons its hayfever which is strange because I never had it before. I've been going through a box of tissues a week and sniffing like a coke head (which can't be ruled out in this lady's case tbh), however if she starts coming up to you actually sniffing you then yes shes a freak. :eek:

    thank you, that is quite possibly the most disgusting thing I've heard all day

    A lady I worked with always smelled of stale cnunt plugs around her oesterus.

    Like a whiff of dry cement close up, kinda dry and acrid.

    Quite a wood up actually.

    i used to sit beside a girl in college who had less than adequate hygiene, and occasionally you could smell her corned-beef curtains.

    Makes me wonder why you would continue sitting beside her.

    Oh God, deeper into the myre we go.......

    Met a girl in the local pub one night, we went out for a smoke and she was shivering so I gave her my cardi/throwover thingy I wasn't using. She spent the rest of the night sniffing the bloody thing, I was getting paranoid until she said the scent was addictive, kinda like worn-in cologne, funny thing I couldn't smell it myself.

    Would you like mayo with that?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 638 ✭✭✭theTinker


    I'm gonna go out and be the odd one here

    I do this sniffing thing too. I know others who also do it. I can only ever justify it by saying, i do it before i even realize it. I just need to know how something smells. I don't like when people change their smell. It actually kind of bothers me when they do. Somewhat confusing. It's either a left over type of habit from the past or i've picked it up and just generally find it useful enough to keep. I walk into my apartment and can tell when someones been in it or wore any of my clothes just from the smell. Things taste the way they smell. And things feel 'safer' when i already know their smell and their smell hasn't changed since the last time i was there. I couldn't even sleep with someone if they had a smell i didn't like. Its way too invasive.

    My friends are accustomed to it, and when i do it to a stranger, they usually just pause for a second and never mention it.

    i wish to point out the irony of your username as you talk about not liking people's smells. i also wish to point out that you may have a mental illness, and the emboldened sentence disturbs me very deeply.

    Don't know why anyone would want to smell like an African, but you know, different horses for different courses.

    Same thing as you never notice the smell in your own car/house/clothes, but when you go into someone else's house/car you notice all the different smell's.

    Is it because of the female receptacle that they wear so much perfume.

    e.g. deposited sperm mixed with female love juice can smell a bit.

    especially when left to cook for awhile.

    Thats beautiful. It's like poetry.

    We've gone from being sniffed in work by random females in work to discussing the relative merit of female reproductive juice mixed with a male deposit

    A fella I know does it when he's drunk to girls in pubs/clubs.

    That's why we have pubic hair- to trap these juices, and ensnare the olfactory glands and flood our senses with the scent of ripe puss or bone hard cock.

    When we depilate the pubes we lose the rich musky whiff of a quivering puss, or a ramrod like cock unfurled and ready to spit, as it were.

    Don't mess with nature people or try to mask naturality, it just doesn't smell the same.
