Some really spicy food hurts your mouth. It's immediate and it's specific. Then there's the other spicy, like good Thai food. I'm talking about the kind of spicy that doesn't immediately burn your mouth, but instead builds slowly and affects your whole body. The kind of spicy that makes you sweat and gives you the sniffles.
It's misleading to say that the bathroom at work stinks. It doesn't have the kind of odor that immediately insults your nose -- it just smells strange. It would certainly be even more misleading to say it didn't stink; There's no doubting that someone's colon is to blame for this, but it's not so bad when you first walk in. The more you breathe the air, the more the stink begins to build, until it starts to affect you, and I mean really affect you. You get light-headed, you start to get confused. Things get blurry. Then all at once you realize that holy shit you can't finish, and maybe you should've asked for "medium-hot" instead.
