One of my female office colleagues seems to regularly spray her pits whilst sat at her desk..
Surely it would be better manners for her to go to the bathroom?
Bad form.
I'd just say jokingly, do you mind? My eyes are melting.
Stick a can of Sure down your trolleys and give your balls a blast every time she does her pits, i'm sure she'll get the message...
I'm assuming it's under her shirt rather than open-air so not seeing the problem?
"Regularly"? Would you rather be here complaining that your co-worker stank of BO?
*First world problems*
Poor you, it must be so, so tough, being you....
If she genuinely thought she had a problem with BO she'd go elsewhere and do it.
Maybe it's a message to the OP that it's time to have a pit spray?

There was a study done on passive e-cigs .. aimed at proving they were harmful... they only thing they found was aluminium oxides which they then went on to say were very toxic etc.
Later they got questioned as there was no theoretical way the particulate oxides could come from he e-cigs...
It turns out these "very harmful particulates" were actually someone who used spray deodorant BEFORE the trial....
You can make of that what you will... when they thought it was from e-cigs these were potentially harmful.... and that wasn't even spraying in the same room.

There are deodorant sticks and there are 24 hour sprays ....and washing ...
Much as I know [b]some people[/b] do have a genuine medical condition I do agree with wwaswas ...
Putting on deodorant is a bit off .. OK, its not like taking a dump but its not really "normal office behaviour" ... I've occasionally had to "adjust myself" as it were ... it's the sort of thing you don't really do [b]in the middle of an office [/b]but might on a building site... like scratching your ar5e.
It is of course just convention.... the Romans all used to love taking a communal crap... but I think a bit of convention is OK.... keeps us civilised... I'll often use a tree on the trails but I wouldn't piss on the pot plants...

You have bathrooms at work? That's posh. Best we have are some shonky showers.
(And yeah, she's bloody weird. Deo spray is horrible stinky stuff.)
Is she trying to subtly inform someone in the office of their BO issue?

But on the plus side your shonky has never been so clean.
Pristine! 😆
Can of air freshener in your drawer, liberal usage following her deodorising, I'm aware that it probably smells no better.

We have a couple of young girls in our office that do this, re-apply make up through the day to 8 layers thick and before lunch they spray perfume so that it fills our part of the office, they also seem to be stealing black markers looking their eyebrows.
Stood in queue at cafe for bacon roll at 8.30, the same two young ladies:
"i'll have a tea and a bacon roll please"
Second - "how can you do that, i can't put anything in my mouth before ten"!

One "advantage" of an IT job. Young, painted ladies are very much a rarity.
There used to be a couple of regulars on my morning train who would apply nail varnish and stink out the entire carriage. Another used to paint her face and then dry it with a portable fan.
The former was 100x more annoying than the latter, though.

"I bet you say that to all the boys"

What? Like a Tigger or something?
