🔥 The Great Office Lunch War: Smells Like Team Spirit? 🔥 Let’s talk about something that gets people heated faster than the office microwave: smelly lunches. Yep, it’s that moment when your desk neighbor pops open a container of fish curry, hard-boiled eggs, or that mysterious leftover stew—and suddenly, your Zen office vibes are out the window. 🌬️ The real question is: Does it bother you? Because let’s be honest, one person’s lunch is another person’s olfactory assault. If you find yourself fanning the air with last month’s meeting notes or taking covert breath-holding breaks, you’re not alone. But is there a polite way to navigate this culinary chaos? Smelly foods don't bother me... in fact I reckon I'm the offender more often than not!! (Canned prawns ahoy!) Here’s the thing: we all deserve to eat what we love. But in an open-plan office, we’re also sharing a “scent-scape” with others. So, what’s the most “aromatic” food you’ve encountered at work? Does the smell of tuna make you sprint for the exit? Or are you the brave soul repping team garlic-and-onions? 👇 Drop your funniest “smelly lunch” story below, and let’s keep it light. Who knows—maybe we’ll all be inspired to pack a PB&J (or at least share a giggle about lunch-induced office “drama”). #OfficeLife #SmellyLunch #WorkHumor #NoseNo
