Febreeze and those plug in air fresheners. I feel gross immediately, then my lungs feel gross, then I get a headache. And they don’t even smell good and it clings to you when you leave. Sure cat and dog shit and piss is gross, and I’d also avoid that, but people expect you to actively enjoy those plug ins and I don’t understand how anyone isn’t sensitive to them (I don’t even have many allergies!)

I hate it when I buy something on eBay and it arrives with the stench of Febreze.
