Woman Booted From Bus For Wearing Too Much Perfume Demands Public Apology

CALGARY, ALBERTA — A pungent female passenger in Calgary who was booted from her local bus for wearing too much perfume is now demanding a public apology for the incident.

CTV News of Canada is reporting that Natalie Kuhn was ordered off a city bus on two separate occasions by a bus driver who complained her perfume was too strong and was aggravating his allergies.

Kuhn said the driver pulled over and started opening all of the windows just before kicking her to the curb a few blocks from her regular stop.

“I was humiliated and embarrassed,” the 25-year-old chiropractic assistant told CTV News.

Kuhn said she heard no complaints from the other riders.

“(The bus driver) stood up, looked at the other passengers and said, ‘Just so everyone knows, we won’t be going anywhere because of the excessive amount of perfume this woman’s wearing. I can’t operate this bus.’”

Kuhn called the city to complain while the driver paged his supervisor. A short time later, a transit employee arrived to escort her to her destination. Calgary Transit said an investigation is underway.

Kuhn said she’s been spraying on less perfume since the incidents, but she won’t stop wearing it.

JOKESTARTERS:

• A woman gets kicked off public transportation because she smells bad. She then demands a public apology. It’s nice to see that it’s not just the US justice system that’s working – things are going right in Canada too, eh?
• Hey lady…here’s a solution for your perfume addiction: try putting it in your purse, then applying it once you’re at your cubicle. That way, the rest of us don’t have to hold our collective breaths when you walk past.
