Following up on my post from March 24th, Things You Should NOT Do On An Airplane, I'd like to add the following: Stop wearing overbearing cologne or perfume. Like many of my previous thoughts on this issue, it comes down to courtesy. I just returned from a trip and on the way there the fellow sitting next to me had so much cologne on that I think I saw it eating through his shirt. I was the lucky recipient of a stink headache for a 6-hour flight. On the way back, I had to squeeze past a lady to get to my window seat (I really do prefer the aisle). As soon as I got within a few feet, her perfume infiltrated my nose and nearly shutdown my olfactory sense. Ugh. Luckily, people were shuffling seats a bit, so she went back a row to sit with her daughter, and some guy ended up sitting next to me who didn't stink. Plus, he was able to leave the middle seat empty. Tada. (Technorati Tags: airplanes, cologne, perfume, things you shouldn't do on a plane)
