790627 2009-07-10 08:38:00 I just did a google search, I like my fish and when I heat it up it has never been an issue until this workplace .

Plus it appears not just fish, if I had chicken with some garlic and stuff that annoys pple too . . .

Someone then just had a cold sandwich and got talked to, I gather some others also have their little Sealords fish cans .

So what is it? Buy lunch or just a ham sandwich or a simple vegetarian salad?

Google also said popcorn is equally as bad, is curry too?

I must admit, re-heated fish pie at my work does cause a few issues, but people just laugh it off etc.

We have a table in the lunchroom that is jokingly referred to as 'cat food corner'

And yeah, some cheeses like blue, parmesan and feta are quite smelly

:D

790631 2009-07-10 09:28:00 I used to work in a busy call centre with about 100 employees. When I occasionaly brought in pickled herrings for lunch to the the lunch room, which can have quite a strong smell, there were a few raised eyebrows, but no-one complained.

A bit of tolerance is all that's required.

They seemed to enjoy it immensely.

Just to play the devil's advocate, why should people tolerate those that are selfish and believe they have the right to stink out a room used by many?

790636 2009-07-10 12:18:00 What bugs me are people who cook their lunch in the microwaves rather than just re-heat it. Nothing worse than having someone hog a microwave for 8 minutes when the tearoom is busy. Jen (38)
