People bring their dogs to work all the time in my office. Fortunately, all of us are dog lovers, so we all enjoy it.
The other trend that doesn't bother me, but surprises me is that I'd estimate about two thirds of the people in my office vape at their desks.
We also have bean to cup espresso, which is nice. People will go find high end beans and contribute them. It works out nicely.
We're highly educated professionals, damnit!
Vaping indoors, at the desk ?! I would hate to work there.
It's not me and I have an office. It doesn't get to me.
But I can definitely see that it would bother a whole lot of people.
On that, I'm old enough to have begun my working life when people smoked cigarettes at their desks. This is a much, much better alternative.
Damn the smoking at the desk must have been awful. Dont get me wrong, im a smoker and do enjoy a indoor cig every so often but sitting around it all the time cant be nice.
The crazy thing is that it was so prevalent, I don't really remember the world smelling smoky unless I went into a small room like my grandparents living room.
I didn't notice it in places like restaurants and bars until after the bans came.
I would guess that my generation has a diminished sense of smell because of it.
Not necessarily a generally diminished sense of smell. We stop sensing smells when we get very used to them.

I smoke too, and I would HATE to bask in my own. Or someone else’s. Just an icky feeling and experience.
I know it's wrong and that I'm going to Internet hell for admitting to it, but there's a smell when Grandma would light her cigarette in the hot box car with the windows up that I find nostalgic to this day even though I find the concept of smoking in a car repugnant
Nah, plenty of people have that olfactory nostalgia. It’s a pretty normal thing.
Also, my dad has NEVER smoked but he says he likes the way my cigarettes smell lol
Yum, plastic clouds
Yeah, I'm allergic to dogs and I hate that trend
Yeah fuck the vaping thing but everything else is cool lol
