At the risk of disclosing my identity, my office is in a hallway in which the inhabitants of other offices represent a diversity of individuals from different ethnic backgrounds.
At various times throughout the day, but especially at lunch time, when I walk down the hallway, the odors emanating from ethnic food assault my olfactory receptors. Sometimes the odors even find their way into my office forcing me to close my door.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love Mexican, Thai, and Indian food and I love how they they smell WHEN I'M HUNGRY AND OUT AT A RESTAURANT. But during the day at my place of work, the last thing I want to smell is Chinese or Indian food.
This is yet another example of how people's behaviors intrude on others. It's like smoking, though less dangerous to one's health.
So, if you like to dine on stinky ethnic foods at your place of work, remember that others may not find the odor as pleasing as you do.
