The Pinkness

Public bathrooms smell not nice most of the time.  This is just a basic fact of life. I work in a building with public bathrooms. The ladies on my floor have decided to wage a war on this fact of life. For the past 6 or so months someone has been bringing in a Febreeze spray can. It was remarkable. The bathroom didn’t smell not nice any longer. It was as though someone said “life is better now.” And then…one day the Febreeze ran out. There was no can of scent fixing goodness. But don’t worry my dear readers, the next day someone brought in a new can. We had fresh laundry lilac or something scented spray. It was the best. Then about two weeks ago it ran out. And we were living in a land of not nice smelling public bathrooms. Then on Monday someone brought one of those plug-in scent things. It’s pink. And the bathroom smells like Barbie. It’s awful. I instantly feel like I’m going to be attacked by ruffles and frills. Not only does it smell like Barbie but it oozes so much scent that the bathroom tastes like Barbie and makes my eyes sting with the Barbieness. Also it doesn’t smell nice. It doesn’t smell not nice. But it is not a pleasant lovely smell like the fresh lilac laundry smell of olde. Basically I just want to got back to the pretty world of laundry and lilacs and leave this gaudy world of hot pink scented torment.

 Can you see the haze of pink scent?

The only thing worse than bathrooms that are over-scented are bathrooms that are under-scented. But it's not much worse.

I'm sorry for your loss (of the good smelling lilacy stuff). You know you could just go buy some good smelling lilacy stuff and just dispose of the barbie smell. Accidentally of course.
