Yet another frivolous lawsuit. This time a Detroit city worker is suing to ban perfume from office buildings.
An employee in the Detroit planning department who claims she is severely sensitive to perfumes and other cosmetics has sued the city, saying a co-worker's strong fragrance prohibits her from working. Susan McBride's lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Detroit, says the work environment is in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. She wants a ban on such scents at work — and unspecified damages.

I'm extremely sensitive to ignorance. I'm suing. Wonder what I could get for "unspecified damages" on that one.

Posted by: triticale at July 9, 2007 2:43 PMAs I am also a "sensitive person" when it comes to fragrances, allow me to make a suggestion: There are lots of incredibly unpleasant scents out there that the "sensitive person" could use that would offend the offender to the point that a truce could easily be called, allowing the "sensitive person" to resume work no longer offended.
I just wish I could solve the problem of "elevator odor" first thing in the morning. I swear, some people must bathe in cologne some days (heavy sigh).
