Old women in the grocery store that need to bathe and/or with a lot of perfume on.
As an old women with arthritis I find it very hard to take a bath but I take one whenever I go out. I don't think I stink. There are young people that sometimes have an odor.

Ditto for anyone - young or old.
Yup. Young or old. Male or female. There's a woman who works with me and sometimes she will come in and she's wearing so much perfume that I can taste it. It takes over the entire area and she this is just from her walking past me. It immediately gives me a horrible headache. It's one of those sickly sweet, heavy floral scents. It's awful. I think this woman is late 50's- early 60's so she's certainly not old.

Some men are just as guilty. When DD graduated from UCF, there was a man behind me who must have dumped half a bottle of cologne on himself before leaving the house. Again, I could taste it. When a perfume or cologne is that strong, it permeates your entire nose and then passes on to your taste buds. It's like taking a swig out of the bottle.

Personally I've noticed this more with younger people than older ones. I think older people realize that less is more.

On the other hand, there are the people that smell just too darn good. I used to work in the downtown of a large city where elevators were packed morning and nights. And some of these people, okay men, smelled so wonderful in the morning I had the urge to sniff their necks. Of course I resisted the urge but I sure never minded crowding in next to them.

Cigarettes (tobacco or otherwise), people who use too much perfume/cologne, and litterboxes. Specifically, litterboxes used by Cats that are fed commercial dry or canned food. I never realized just how horrid it smells until I put my Cats on a raw diet, the lack of litterbox odor now even with 4 Cats and 5 boxes is very noticeable. Or should that be not noticeable?
