Dear Miss Manners
A user came in smelling like gummy bears.
Perhaps she naturally smelled of gummy bears. Perhaps she had just very recently massacred a bag of gummy bears. More likely she was using a shampoo, deoderant, or perfume not called "gummy bears."
I do not know, because I did not ask, because I did not know how to ask, because I am a socially inept cretin.
How does one politely ask someone else what scent they are wearing without sexually harassing them?
Now I am sad because I have missed my window. She has departed, and I will never know the secret to her aura of gummy bear smell.
