Me & my coworkers have been talking about the strong smell in the breakroom from somebody microwaving their food. I took our complaint to management and was told theres nothing that can be done because its cultural food. Literally everyone that works here is from a different minority group or culture >_>

At least once a week someone at my work microwaves fish and it stinks up the joint for an hour. That shit should be outlawed.

Seems inconsiderate and self-centered to cause an entire place to smell a certain way. Not much different than farting.

I can agree with this for stuff that carries really far. It doesn't even have to be a bad smell. I hate when someone microwaves popcorn at work for example because you can smell it all the way down the hall.

There's nothing wrong with it being a curry. Some people will whine about it. I worked with someone that would have a fit over curry. Must say I brought it a lot and opted for Indian takeout

It's the fish. No one likes the smell of fish in a microwave. Not even the person eating it. It's extremely pungent, has an unpleasant aroma, and clings in the microwave and the air worse than most foods. It's worse than the assholes that burn popcorn. And I worked with someone for a year that ate burned microwave popcorn every afternoon. I'd work with her for another year before dealing with a fish dish in the office kitchen sitch. You know?

It's fucking bad. don't do that. Don't be that person.

You've clearly never had the pleasure of smelling microwaved fish.

If you had, you'd know that nothing can cover that smell. And it's extremely potent and vomit inducing.

Edit: also the smell clings to the microwave, making anyone else who uses it has to have their food engulfed in that rancid odor.

tbf, if it's a food someone is used to, they might be desensitized to it's smell, and it's likely more a case of them being unaware to how it might affect others rather than them just being inconsiderate

You must lie.

Tell your supervisor that the stinky food is messing with your allergies/asthma/giving you respiratory problems. Medical beats cultural in the workplace.
