Lol. I have worked on my phone addiction, which by the way became so thanks to Hive. Bad internet services has helped, though. What's the point of checking if you may not have a signal? But, I can't blame you for pet peeving about it. I feel really unconfortable in social meetings where people sit or stand in circles only so that every one of them dives into their phone screens, only once in a while lifting their heads to share a meme or some other silly thing on social media.
About the perfumes, I became very sensitive to some perfumes, so much so that in a public bus I may have to change seat or even get off. There was a time most people could afford good perfumes, so running into bad ones was rare. Now most people, if at all, get cheap (not because of the price, they are still expensive) immitations from Perfume Factory.Good thing we have covid 19 for a while to spare us from those stinky gatherings :)
