I greatly enjoyed my loss of smell. People in general and especially IT nerds are rather bad at managing their hygiene.
How many of you nasty hacker news readers and commenters go to work with the same T-shirt for more than a day and don‘t shower daily?
I had colleagues where I knew whether they‘d be in the office or not by smelling them when I entered the building.

- Traubenfuchs 3y agoProbably, but still, smelling if someone used an elevator half an hour after they did is less of a me-problem and more of a you-problem. It should not happen and if it does, you are either disgusting or ill. I consider myself an isotretinoin (the famous and highly effective anti acne medication with loads of dangerous, permanent side effects) "victim", in the sense that I suffer from medium to strong dry eye, nose and throat. Isotretinoin is known to improve sense of smell in those that suffer from a lack of it.
