My boss, the wackiest dieter I've ever come across, is constantly eating sardines out of the can. As in, walking around and eating sardines in meetings, in people's office doorways -- he even once left an empty can of them on my desk. Let's just say that having that particular smell lingering in the office of a woman is not the best scenario, and I couldn't admonish him b/c he's my boss! A classic no-win/big-stink situation.

This is why every office needs someone like me around. To wit: "What IS that STINK?? Is that YOU? Clean it up, honey, nobody should smell like that!" /It's like "The Office" everywhere I work. :D

Sorry, a lady who is stinking up the office with her lunch choice does not need to be tip-toed around. A simple "look, I'm glad about your new diet, but the smell of the seafood is kind of overpowering the office here. If you wouldn't mind, could you start bringing it in a sealed container and dispose of any waste from it in the kitchen/break room/restroom to keep the, uh, aroma, to a minimum? Those containers are pretty gamey after sitting open on your desk for a few hours, you know..." Don't be rude about it, but be honest. If that fails, have the boss request everyone not eat at their desks (my co-workers and I used this tactic to correct a similar issue at a previous office). Chances are he doesn't want to risk having to bring a client through a fish-stanky office, either.
