Dear Editor,
Today I overheard a conversation that really got my blood boiling.  A lady was talking to a receptionist to make an appointment when out of the blue the lady asked if the receptionist was a smoker. The receptionist replied that indeed she was, the lady then said and I quote “Well you stink”. Now I understand how smoke odor offends some people, but I wonder why this lady thought she had the right to say something like that to anyone.  I have gone into many places in this town where the perfume that women have on is very offensive, it could literally kill someone, but never would I look at them and tell them they stink.  But perhaps I will start and maybe when I see this lady out and about with her offensive perfume she will get the same treatment that she gave to the receptionist.
