You can't ask me that: should 'do I smell?' be a question we ask more often?

Of all the senses, the sense of smell is perhaps the most underrated. When the cause of distress is bad breath or BO, the answer is not “leave an anonymous note saying ‘you stink’ on the smelly person’s desk”. In 2007 City of Detroit employee Susan McBride found that a co-worker’s perfume made her throat “close a little”, she quickly complained to her employer. Also citing the act, the City of Detroit countered by saying that McBride’s perfume allergy did not impact on any “major life activity”. Fashion designer Coco Chanel is attributed with having said: “A woman who doesn’t wear perfume has no future.” That would no longer appear to be the case if your vision of the future involves climbing the career ladder at one of the many US and Canadian companies that followed the City of Detroit’s example and banned their employees from using highly perfumed toiletries in the wake of the McBride hearing.
