Lunch pollution

We are kinda busy here, which means a lot of the time, people eat lunch at their desk while working. Sometimes that means microwaved stuff, or take out from a restaurant, and a lot of the time the smell is very tempting, especially with the Indian guys. Some of the leftovers they bring in smell way too good.

Today however...there was an assault on my nose like I haven't smelled in a very long time. It was supposedly mussels, but I like mussels. This didn't smell like mussels, and I have a feeling he who ate them might be coming down with some gastro-intestinal issue soon. If that really is what this was, they went bad a long time ago. This smelled like raw sewage....and very strongly like raw sewage. It was immediately overpowering and utterly disgusting. I mean, this was exponential shit. When we complained the offender said, "Now, I never complained when other people brought in stinky food." He has a point. He never has. Nobody has ever brought in anything that smelled like that, though. That wasn't just stinky food. Anyone who walked into our small building immediately went "whoa!", and we'd all laugh, except the offender. He got all defensive, but I don't think he'll be bringing whatever that was in again.
