Eating fish

Eating fish at work or in other public settings should be illegal. Opinions?

I think it should be. Somebody makes, without fail, fish at least once a week since I have been here. I do not have a door to block out the vomit inducing smell. Fish has a universally rank smell. They obviously take no consideration of other people. Obviously today is a fish day. :yuck:

    Fish are nice. Mushrooms aren't. Outlaw mushrooms! (I mean the ones used for food, before anyone makes any "smart" comments)

    No it shouldn't. Fish is lovely and has lots of protein which is good for the body unlike supersize mc donalds and coca cola.

    Some may like the taste, but its not about the taste, its about the overwhelming grotesque stench that comes from it.

    absouletly agree, tinned fish that people take to work smells horrible.

    tinned salmon, tuna, sardines, makes me feel sick

    Most the time its home made food, some type of fresh fish that they cooked the night before and reheated today :yuck: Tuna would be better than that! It doesn't have a very carrying odor.

    Fish isn't a bad smell - it's a healthy smell. Makes my juices flow. :yum:

    Better than other peoples Cheese and Onion crisps or egg - which although tasty literally smells like jank.

    Well I agree that it should be banned - not only does it stink and make me feel sick, but I am also allergic to it!

    I treat myself to some smoked mackrel after I've been to the gym :thumb:; and Fridays is Fish'n'chip day at work. Other days I have houmous, prawn curries and other delightfully aromatic food that makes everyone else hungry.

    If fish is gonna be banned, then they've gotta ban microwave pizza too. It just smells like sick. :yuck:

    Perhaps I'm just weird, but I love the smell of fish. All seafood, like cockles, etc.

    Only thing I refuse to eat and hate the smell of is dulce/seaweed :yuck:

    Gross, yes, like mouldy cheese or something. Microwave pizzas are all soggy and gross anways :p

    Everybody should just bring scentless cold sandwiches to work or something. My peanut butter and jam never causes the whole building to simatanously yack.

    could you cope with the guilt of accidentally killing someone with a peanut allergy. there you were, quietly eating a sarnie, when you sneezed, causing a peanut particle to be projected from your nose into a passing colleagues cup of coffee.....

    Well I don't eat chunky peanut butter

    and more importantly I have the decency to cover my mouth and nose when I sneeze. As its even grosser than fish if you don't :yuck:

    And yes, I could deal with it. :p

    Same here, and fish shouldn't smell bad unless there is something wrong with it.

    Or people are not cooking it properly.

    e.g. the grey bit on slamon when you remove the skin, if you fry that then it stinks, if you remove it and only cook the main fleshy bit then there isn't much bad smell at all.

    Now onions are wrong and the work of the devil. I literally cannot stay in the same room as omeone cutting oonions or i probably will actually go throw up.
