This, of course, can be a nightmare, since you could be walking up many flights. You start to notice a particular smell, yet you know it wasn’t you, but you wonder if everyone thinks that it was. This happens to everyone from time to time and there are ways to avoid them (at times). The simplest way to avoid this is to take the stairs.
