PSA: deodorants don't do shit if you don't shower before applying. If anything, it might make the smell worse.

Even more awkward if you work from home
I have a coworker who resides in the cubicle diagonal from mine. I can usually tell whether or not he's there when I can smell his breath.
b.j. nomnom 😆
God no!
I'm smell sensitive and work for an international company with a lot of South-Europeans running around.
No additional deodorant or aftershave! Please!
People most often smell like they've put a pine forest through a blender and took a bath in it and in worst cases it lingers 15min after they're gone. I'd rather smell BO.
And they seem to think it covers up the smell of cigarettes.
It never does, you're right.
I'm so glad I work in a scent-free building honestly. Does it sometimes smell like my boss's running shoes? Sure a little, but I never spend the entire day coughing and with a headache from some asshole's cologne.
Do they have one for not sipping your loud ass water bottle every five SECONDS LIKE WE ARE IN THE SAHARA
Her colleague has a book titled: "should I tell my coworker they wear their earphones wrong or just resign?"
those are clip-on earbuds. they're not in-ear. they're intentionally left open, so that you hear more of your surroundings. they work well in quiet to medium loudness scenarios where you're supposed to hear more of your environment, for example in an office or at home. and that's a perfectly valid way to wear them. they go around the edge of the ear, with the battery and electronics sitting behind the ear and the speaker sitting in front. you can position them along most of the edge of your ears, and different positions make for different comfort and different volume.

Ouch, just looking at them hurts.
I own a pair similar to those. They’re basically weightless, I actually forget I even have them on sometimes
I have light cauliflower, and a lot of headphones hurt my ears.
But not these. Also they keep your ear open for, y'know, hearing.
They're kinda awesome
they're not actually that bad, and most brands offer silicone tips on them that feel quite nice. i like them more than airpods-style buds that aren't anatomically shaped but still supposed to fit in your ear.
There are earphones that do sit like this though. Shoks, for one, but I'm sure there's other brands that do the same.

I had to tell a co-worker " can you start rocking some deodorant"
A reddit suggestion was "n***a you smell like hot dog water"
Pro tip: Work at home
