Thread: Bay Rum no good for work

Let them complain! They're just jealous that they can't smell so good!

Better yet, gift each of the complainers with a bottle of bay rum after shave, including your boss! There will not likely be another complaint!

deep down inside....they want to smell just as great hahaha. pardon my ignorance because im new to wet shaving but would the word Rum in bay rum have anything to do with the alcohalic scent?

same thing happened to me when i was in iraq but it was one of my "bosses" that pointed it out, we were riding on a bus and he takes me to the back of the bus and asks "have you been drinking?" the tone sounded more like why the heck arent you gonna share than actually trying to yell, so i explained it and he didnt believe me at first


-dan-

I see I'm not the only one who thinks that being turned in like that was a bit strange. If I where you I would watch my back. Three people going to your boss is a big red flag in my book. In the meantime, try to stay away from anything "controversial".

Good luck.

Looks good on you!

The paramedic profession sometimes can get really political with all the stress, sometimes co-workers (not to condone them) get 'upity' (sp).

But the odd part is, paramedic or not, I don't think that Bay Rum actually smells all that much like rum - seriously, apart from the name, it has very little to do with the liquor, smell or otherwise...(FWIW, I use Dominica and Carribean bay rum aftershaves, so that's what I base my opinion on).

I wear bay rum to work all the time. so far no one has accused me of being an alcoholic. this is really weird.

I use dominica and pinaud bay rum mostly.

Talking about the uppity comment. I was outstationed for about a year, now I am back downtown. We are currently in a staffing crisis, and the agency is hiring lots of EMT-Basics to replace Paramedics. It seems like everyone has a terrible attitude, and are stabbing each other in the back. I just keep my head up, and try to be cordial. I'll be out of there in 2 semesters when I get my RN, and then on to another can of worms! lol

I wish Bay Rum lasted that long on me. The scent usually wears off my person before I walk out the door in the morning.
