recently I have seen a ton of threads on reddit along the lines of, "can non-smokers really tell if someone smokes cigarettes?" or "do non-smokers think everyone who smokes cigarettes smells?"
yes. people with half decent smelling abilities (I would say ye average person who can smell) are able to tell not only if someone is a smoker, but if they live with a smoker or have been around someone smoking cigarettes recently. cigarette smell is awful, it gets into the clothes, it gets into hair, it gets into paper, it gets all over the skin. it seems like people who are around cigarette smoke a lot stop noticing the smell.
just about everyone who can smell (and is not a smoker) notices cigarette smell. it is extremely potent. cigarette smell, even just leftover in clothes, is a common trigger for asthma and other types of breathing problems, and perfumes to cover up the smells can often just make that worse, make someone breathing it sicker, and bring more attention to something that absolutely reeks. a lot of smokers do not realize just how terrible they smell until they stop smoking.
I have ordered fountain pen parts that CLEARLY came from somewhere someone was smoking cigarettes. most of the package was plastic or metal, but there were a few tiny sheets of paper. talking, a few inches by a few inches. the total size of an index card or two. just those few sheets of paper reeked so fucking bad that first I got really sick, and I had to put those parts into a sealed container for months with some baking soda until they stopped smelling so fucking bad and stopped making me so fucking sick. I have no idea just how someone could feel comfortable selling something that stunk that fucking awful, but I guess the people who sent it to me either smoke too much to tell how much their products fucking reek, or they just genuinely did not give a single fuck.
cigarette smoke really, really, really stinks. even if it was from days, weeks, or months ago.

More stories from hell (retail) today I was ringing up this lady and she goes oh I want to do part of this on a gift card and the rest on normal card and I go ok and then she hands me a folded piece of paper. I think oh OK it must be folded around the gift card, right? Wrong. It is a folded sheet of 8×11 printer paper with "$40" written on the inside in ballpoint pen. I go what is this. She says a gift card. I say this is not a gift card. She says yes it is. I say this is a piece of paper with "$40" written on it. She says "well it's a gift card." I say it absolutely is not. I am grinding my teeth. She says well I want to use it. I say you physically cannot do that bc it is a piece of paper. I cannot scan or swipe it. I apologize, as if this is my fault, and not because she is completely insane. I hate it here
I have a disorder that makes me want to headcanon every nonhuman character with the ability to purr regardless if it makes sense for their kind or not. It's called being right. With enough research i could justify a tree purring if i wanted to
like! people always reference pride & prejudice as the archetypal “normal girl falls for mysterious brooding antihero” story but they overlook the part where lizzy drags darcy so fucking hard he leaves town and then apologizes for talking to her the next time they meet even though they’re at his literal house
