I have a pair laying out and handy for those late night trips to finish his work, or do on line bills.

I too get over whelmed by noise. I find music in places like stores, or MD offices not only to be obnoxious, but too loud! So, with the bright lights, the high volume and the old ladies who drown themselves in colonge I just wont go into stores during peak hours. not me! I am gonna stay home till the slower times.
I hate people who marinate themselves in perfumes and colognes. Most of them are people who've worn that particular...stench...for so long that they've burned out their nostrils and cant smell it anymore, so they pour more on until they can smell it again.

Which means once they walk into a room I'm in, I'm flat on the floor, trying to breathe, or stumbing blindly out the door to get to fresh air (impossible because they dragged their odor thru the hallway and it'll take days to get the smell out of the carpet and furniture.

One time, I went to my neuro, and the lady who was in there just before me apparently bathed in White Diamonds or some other horrible caustic chemical. The room reeked of it. I mentioned to my neuro that I have some sort of chemical allergy because perfumes and cleaning chemicals make me ill.

He said that he has the same problem, and has asked the woman to refrain from stinking herself up when she visits. She refuses to listen to him. If I were her doctor, I'd fire her as a patient, or at least pawn her off on some other doctor.

The only perfume I could stand when I was younger, and I dont know why it's the only one, is Chanel's Coco (I can sort of stand Chanel No 5, but not for long) Now I cant stand any perfumes.

I just googled Chanel perfumes, and I think I know why I cant stand the Coco scent any more. In 1998, they switched from using Civet oil (oil from a gland in Civet cats) to using a synthetic version of civet oil. That may explain why I cant stand Coco any more. It's synthetic now. (they switched to synthetic because PETA pushed them to do it)

I can stand bright lights, lots of (non-perfumed) people, and most loud noises a lot better than I can deal with perfumed people.
