She's been on the elevator in the last...six months

If you ever worked at the League (especially downstairs), you'll know why this is funny:

DETROIT (AP) -- A federal judge says a Detroit city employee can proceed with a civil suit claiming she couldn't work because of a co-worker's strong perfume.

The Detroit News says U.S. District Judge Lawrence Zatkoff determined Susan McBride has a potential claim under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The city is asking to have the suit dismissed.

McBride says she's severely sensitive to perfumes and other cosmetics. She says the perfume worn by a co-worker in the city's Planning Department made it difficult for her to breathe.

She says the co-worker also used a plugged in room deodorizer.

The suit says the co-worker later agreed to stop using the room deodorizer but kept using perfume.

This is hilarious! I have another one of those ladies here, you can tell she entered the building by her perfume lingering in the parking garage. Seriously, what possess someone to spray the entire bottle on them at one time? I'm all about smelling good but dang, that stuff isn't cheap!!
