This girl at the "grinch" stunk so bad.. like everyone was getting sick from her perfume.. My friend said at spring awakening last week, one of the actors had a sneezing attack from someone wearing perfume in the on stage seats. People should be mindful of these things before coming to a show.

And can they also stop crinkling wrappers, talking, cracking their knuckles, singing along, coming in late, and wearing hats?

Can we add just breathing in general to that list?

And hats.
And their hair up.

I concur...it gives me a headache, and ocassionally sneezing fits. Frankly people should be mindful about it whereever they are. I still remember my middle school prom, above all, the deans had to come in and tell us not to come in dowsed in a bottle of perfume or cologne.

I sat next to an older woman at ACL who was wearing what smelled like a half a bottle of perfume. During What I Did For Love she was swaying around to the music, hence her scent was looming in and out of my nostrils. It almost made me ill. I had a teribble headache the rest of the night.

My mother used to douse herself with Love's Fresh Lemon in the car, in the winter, with the windows up.

Trust me, you people have NO. IDEA.

Could people also not come back from intermission reeking from the cigarettes they've inhaled?

Cigarettes are bad? I had NO idea.

Can people also please wear deoderant. I wrote a poem about this once in class. It was something like....

Stuffed
In a tiny cramped seat
Can't breathe
The person to the left wearing too much perfume
The person to the right not wearing enough.

And people also really should use breath mints from time to time as well. It's always the ones who talk during shows that stink up the area.

How the hell do you sway to "What I Did For Love?"

I have a sensitivity to smells, so perfume and cigarette smoke always bother me. I don't understand why people have to douse themselves in it. The worst in when they spray their flowery perfume to hide the cigarette smell (which doesn't work).

Also, please don't come back from intermission reeking of BEER. What, did you spill it all over yourself? This is a freakin' Broadway show. And don't get me started on the breathing. This guy sitting next to me during THE CAINE MUTINY COURT MARTIAL was on his way to a heart attack. Each breath SOUNDED as though it was going to be his last. Buzzing away, nonetheless as I'm watching David Schwimmer try to act on a Broadway stage. Ugh.

Can people just learn to deal?

[D2]

Posted: 1/3/07 at 11:42am

Probably not. At least not when it comes to having to breathe foul air in a situation where it could be avoided with just a little common sense and forethought.

Can people please stop MUNCHING their gum, like open-mouthed cattle chewing on their cud??

and the wave, don't forget the wave.

wbaf, i thought we agreed that we would not mention that night. it wasn't beer, it was jack motherf*cking daniels and i only had 5 at intermission, ok?

[PalJoey]

Posted: 1/3/07 at 3:04pm

Since when do you drink Jack Daniels, dear?

[papalovesmambo]

Posted: 1/3/07 at 3:06pm

it was the caine mutiny. scotch just didn't feel right.

[PalJoey]

Posted: 1/3/07 at 3:16pm

I understand. There are certain times when only bourbon--or Daniels or Dickel--will do.
