Rant of the week "Automatic air freshener"

[Glass]

Alright, after months, and months and years of dealing with these things, something needs to be done.

They are a great idea, for places or people that constantly smell bad, and need a little 'help'. Dont get me wrong, i dont know if its the product, or the most common placment of them i have a problem with.

Why does it seem that everyone i know thinks its a good idea to put these things above the toilet, about 6'6" off the ground, pointed directly to the front of the toilet, right where my face is when im pissing? Ever since these things made thier debut, my face has smelled like "ocean breeze" "french vanilla" "spicy cinnamon" or some other 'scent' that seems to cover the smell of shit up. During an event that i used to look foward to because of the refreshing and relieved feeling afterwords, i now have been in a constant state of fear whenever i have to go into someones bathroom and take a simple piss.

Shawn, you cannot comment on this thread because i dont know if you could even place one of these things 6'6" off of the ground. Chuck, you are borderline...but go ahead...

John, I'm in building maintenence, we have those damn things everywhere in the building on microburst settings. Worst thing is when you go to change the battery, and it sprays right into your face. I hate em with a passion. The ones we have, once they hit 99 sprays, they start beeping at you like a child nags at you for something until you change the battery's, refill the spray, or reset it.

I wish they beeped a few seconds before they sprayed, that way i would have warning to move...

the one in the mens associate restroom has the sprayer dropped to 6 ft, right at eye level with me... so I know that one

We have a few of them around the animal shelter and trust me, they make a difference. Of course we don't place them where most people would be standing anyways :).

:protest: John your nuts:nuts: so :flipoff2: and:flipoff: I dont know what these stink killers you are talking about are, maybe I cant see that far up there. but the ones that are plugged into the wall plugs and then leak all over the hardwood floor really piss me off. they damage the woods finish and when we sand and finish the floor again the homeowner will plug them right back in. and I never understood why they are their either. unless they always do fly bys as they get home. to me a clean house thats lived in dont stink. so it shouldnt need air fresheners. and a house thats lived in is a home, in other words a little laundry laying around and some dishes in the sink is more welcoming than a spotless one with a smelly ass abthroom thanks to some tall skinny dude with a dodge in his garage
