Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I workout at Planet Fitness. I always start my night off by doing 45 minutes on the treadmill. About 15 minutes in a guy comes up on the treadmill right next to me. I was literally the only person on the treadmills at that time so there were at least 20 other treadmills available. Slightly annoying when this happens in general - but no big deal. As soon as he starts running though I keep getting hit with this really strong smell. It’s not body odor - I probably wouldn’t have noticed BO. I don’t smell cute when I workout. But it was like a cologne-y/incensy smell and it was STRONG. He smelled like he had doused himself with White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor and then went to mass in a Catholic Church before hitting the gym. I can’t imagine that anyone would put cologne on before going to the gym so all I can think is maybe it was his deodorant putting in overtime. I tried to put up with it for about another 10 minutes but after I hit 25 minutes I got sick of it. I kind of abruptly got up, cleaned the treadmill off &amp; immediately moved to a different treadmill in the row behind us. Should I feel bad about this? If it were any other situation (like work for example) and if both of us didn’t have headphones in, I might have politely said something But there’s no tactful way to tell a stranger they smell strongly. I also didn’t want to say anything because planet fitness has their no intimidation rule and I have no idea how this guy would react. I should point out I’m new to working out &amp; I don’t know all the ins &amp; outs of gym etiquette. I’m home now and I keep going back and forth between “I’m an asshole” and “I am finally at a point where I’m committed to working out and not even a perfumy man should interrupt my routine.” AITA?
