I am hereby making a motion to make a certain degree of standards on odour to allow for admittance in to buildings and other public places that are NOT in open air.

The background behind this is :

I often work out of Blenz Cafe because they have free wireless internet and a great atmosphere. It is pretty much my second or third office.

A few days ago I was there working, burning the late-night oil at around 10:30 or so. I suddenly noticed a severe odour, mainly of cigarettes blended with body odour. It was basically like a fucking ashtray, except it was like you had your nose right into one.  It was this old degenerate of a guy who looks like he fought in the second world war, and smells so intensely all over of cigarettes and other things that it was just outrageous. Seriously, I could smell him from my seat while he was at the counter getting his drink.

After he sat down next to me (dirty old rat has a laptop, so he sits at the high-tables with the stools, along with the power plugs, intended just for laptop users like myself) that was pretty much it. He was sitting 4 seats down but it did not matter. The stink was unbearable it was giving me a headache.

Last time, I just went home because there were no other spots open.

This time, I had just gotten here, and the guy walked in and sat down at the same spot so I had to move to another spot. It’s not exactly comfortable being on a couch with a low coffee table while typing on your laptop.

Thanks to his stink, I am forced into this situation.

They should really have an odour detector and set a standard for admittance. If you stink, you cannot get in the door.  That’s how it should be.
