Eating raw garlic at work

[Chelseablue]

So you can stink in youre own new car

Hi
After 11years witnessing how filthy some posties are at my workplace(intentionally sneezing/coughing at you, not washing their hands after leaving toilet) I decided to eat(chew) raw garlic at work to keep all the bacterias, germs away. This is my great grandparent method he used before antibiotics became popular.
It keeps me healthy and helps overcome any colds etc much quicker.
However, as you can imagine some colleagues are not happy and complained to DOM. He asked me to stop eating it at work and asked Union Rep to speak to me as well. He however said cant see a problem with that.
Any thoughts???

made me laugh

Garlic doesn't bother me personally but there's obviously a lot of different things that upset us about our colleagues, judging by the variety of previous posts. My DO is fairly spread out so maybe the "Smells" don't effect me as much as the noise, apart from one women that insists on wearing Joop (which just makes me want to gag).

"Noise" tends to grind my gears more. We have competitive Whistling it seems, several guys trying to out do each other, whistling along to various tunes on the radio. Another guy likes to laugh LOUDLY at nearly anything, or after making any comment. It's like working with the Bloody Laughing Policemen! It wears a bit thin after a while but how can you complain about someone laughing?

And I'm sure every DO has it's fair share of "Box Throwers"? Normally seems to increase when it's a busy day. Don't know how throwing boxes about helps you to deal with the mail?

Ah yes|! The serial whistler is an ENORMOUS ass-pain. I worked with one I nicknamed 'Thrush' so if the women asked me why 1 could say he was always whistling like a bird, but if blokes asked he was an irritating ****. Laughing was rare in my DO so no comments there but the noise I agree I HATED was not the general hubbub and banter but the execrable Heart FM radio they used to have on via the PA system, only halted for a few secs if the DIM used the mic button to call someone into the office, usually accompanied by sarcastic cheers and jeers by the rest of us. Before I took IHR I was getting close to murder if I ever heard Ed sodding Sheeran, Adele or that awful dirge "groan-groan-groan-I wasn't expecting that..." (which I can't remember who by) EVER AGAIN!

Yeah I agree about the noise, some individuals think it's fine that everyone should have to hear them, and it's always the same phrases uttered everyday that never seem to go out of fashion, or maybe they just have a short memory?

Try eating it with the afternoon/evening meal, it`s what I do and I don`t stink in the morning/next day and it`s still helping me not to catch colds and other germs

Our office is the same. "Make sure you take all your packets and parcels, lapsing x amount of walks today, what do you mean you can't extend etc..."
