Concerning people in their 'secret' state, i passed a cubicle at work at the exact moment that the woman who worked in it happen to lift up her purse and smell of it.
She saw me go by and i slowly backed up and asked, "Did you just smell your purse?"
"You know," she laughed, "I did. You caught me sniffing my purse."
"Do you mind if i ask why?"
"It's kinda funny. My mother-in-law smelled my purse yesterday and i just remembered that and so wanted to see what she was smelling."
We both laughed and though i was tempted to bring out my wallet and sniff it, i did not. I walked off. When i told a friend about the encounter she asked bluntly, "What did it smell like?"
That, for some reason, i felt was none of my business. I wonder why?
