What happens when most of your team is Indian?
They always have his very nice smell about them. Worried about coming of as a creep and getting reported. Is there a subtle way way to ask? I am male, married, don't have particular attraction to them just like the smell and want to buy it for my household.
They're probably using fabric softener. Go check out the downey brand in the laundry detergent aisle of the grocery store. And open any bottle to get a whiff of the scent
Yeah but which one there is a gazillion + they smell different once used
There’s less than 10 and they smell exactly the same when used. Quit trying to make excuses to talk to this woman, you sound dumb
It depends. If you are attractive or you have enough social wherewithal to not need this question asked, then yes absolutely. Otherwise absolutely not.
Rule of thumb - if you need to think or ask if something is ok to ask, then just don’t ask because someone else might consider it offensive / creepy etc
it is possible to ask this without being creepy, but only if you can figure out how to do it without needing to ask Blind first so for you, nope.
Just simply asking, "Hi, my wife has been looking for some sort of Downy laundry perfume or something that makes the clothing smell nice. Would you let me know what you are using?" I'm female and I don't mind getting such a question :)
username checks out:)
Haha thank you :)
Isn’t messed up that one can’t even ask a simple question like this without triggering who knows what stupid passive-aggressive reaction? I wish we could all be more relaxed and laid back about stuff. Yet people tend to be defensive and assume worst intentions in the workplace. I don’t get it.
Because it’s generally appropriate to be defensive and assume the worst intentions in the workplace. People are gross, men are consistently horny and aggressive and being “laid back” generally to a male means let me direct my sexual advances toward you every day and misread the increasingly blatant cues that your attention is unwanted and you are rapidly becoming a threat and likely ruining someone’s life on a daily basis.
You must be fun at parties
Just tell her you want your wifes clothes to smell like her clothes.
maybe not
Sarcasm needs a font.
Create a post on Teams/Slack asking for fabric softener recommendations.. just tell that you want to try something new. If lucky, she might respond along with others.
Yes. I think you can say, “hi, you always have a great scent. I think it’s something you use in your laundry- can you tell me what it is so I can buy it for myself?” A. You’re giving her a compliment but by asking about the products you aren’t making it a come on. B. The most important thing is don’t use this as an attempt to continue the conversation. She can give you the name of it, say “thanks” and leave it at that. If you see her after buying it say “thanks again for telling me what you use. I bought it and now my laundry smells great”
Kinda hard to ask without sounding creepy
