Reason #257 why I don't like working in our Reston office

The soap in the men's room is scented. My hands smell like a freakin' coconut. I hate coconut.

I love coconut, but not for soap though.

Scented soaps aren't uncommon but this is the first time I've encountered coconut. It's just... strange.

Y' know, just about everything we buy is scented these days...

Yeah, just great for the hyper-allergic crowd.

Alas, now I have to kill you for putting that tune in my head. Sorry.

and now I can't get the image out of my mind of you.....you doing the conga line....down the hall of your fancy corporate building leaving a trail of coconut scent in your wake.

Great... now I need a lobotomy to get this image out of my head. AAAAGH!

Yick!

Scented soaps in public restrooms are dreadful.

I reckon you could get some sand paper and sand the scent off?

No?

If I were back in my cube in Urbana, I would use the bar of soap I keep in my filing cabinet for emergencies to rid myself of the perfume. Then again, if I was in the Urbana office, I wouldn't have encountered the coconut in the first place.

Ours is the subtly soft, yet sensual "Morning Rose."

So manly.

And somehow so appropriate. :-)

Thankfully ours are relatively scent-free.

All of our other offices I've visited lately (three in DC, my regular one in MD) all had unscented soap. I'm not sure why our Reston office is different.

I need a icon with a similar sentiment to yours. :) I hate coconut too, unless it's in Tom Yum soup.
