    My work computer won’t let me onto a homemade automotive website with primo scans of vintage brochures on it, just because the website is based somewhere in Scandanavia (Norway I believe)...

    :annoyed:

    That smell is a bunch of plastics offgassing petrol distillates, so I'd imagine it can't be great for you.

    The only thing I’ve worn a mask for in the last year is sanding and painting the garage with my cousin...

    That's why there were some recalls on dash boards bubbling up vinyl.

    Why compound the problem?

    IMO excessive use of air fresheners is what dirty people use because they that can't clean their car or home

    I’ve also heard of gas masks being used in S&M/bondage play. Drug use, robbery, kidnapping, and bondage are the only things that come to mind when I think of “non-occupational” use for a mask...

    Actually, kidnapping, robbery, or concealing one’s identity for any reason would be considered “occupational” to a career criminal, so that just leaves bondage and drug use...

    :D

    I paint and sand some toxic woods as a hobby. What the hell? I use a good mask.

    I work in finance. We rob people from the inside, and they give us permission to do it. :D

    JK, I don't work in that kind of finance.

    Go to any salvage yard. The “inmates” there always have at least one tree-freshener...

    That's such a weird opinion to have haha. My truck is washed vacuumed and wiped every other week. I still use a subtle air freshener because it smells good :notsure:

    My friend’s 2010 Ford F-150 Lariat has activated charcoal “fart filters” in the seats...
