Slept for about 11 hours today.
Still woke up tired for work. And LATE. So. Not in the best of personable moods. Rush rush, grabbed a taxi, jumped in.
After settling back, taxi driver turned to me and said "WOW, you smell so fresh!". WTF? I snapped back "I smell fresh every time I leave the house!!"
Dammit, that was totally inappropriate. If you tell a woman she smells nice, or you like her perfume, that's great. It's a compliment. Women love to be told they smell nice. But not FRESH. I found it highly inappropriate. And strangely, quite disgusting. What the hell is that anyways? Why did the cabbie choose to use the word "fresh". I suppose I knew what he meant, but it just sounded really leery.
It's amazing how a single word can change your perception. People need to learn that their choice in language and words is terribly important.
EQ is not under rated, it's under utilised!
Natural introvert, learned extrovert.

Well, at least he didn't say "WOW, you smell like stale farts!"
We live in a world surrounded by fools *grins*
Trust me, I imagine he smells a lot of women that are not so fresh. Lord knows I have.
Still, I would have said "you smell nice" or "I like your cologne" before I said "Fresh", but then I would consider it rude to even HAVE that conversation with a woman I wasn't intimate with.
