do you get dizzy when you enter an antique store?

[Guest my usernames always really suck]

Well, do you?

 

That fucking smell when the odors of cinnamon and every fucking candle in the store mix into one smell... it fucks with my head, man.

[Guest maantecaaa!!!]

I get that feeling in used bookstores. The worst time was when I was in this place in Long Beach, Acres of Books. It literally is about 4 acres of space with shelves that reach about 12 feet high. The combination of smells and trying to comprehend how many books were in that place made me sick, had to bail.

I get that a shops and used clothing stores and places like that. Antique stores are the worst though, I'll agree with that.

for real, all those tiki toppers and dank furs give me a boner.

You have a budget version of Stendhal syndrome.

god that sounds amazing.

[Guest Rogueofmv]

Anyone ever notice that all old things smell the same?

 

Used records, used books, antiques, the stuff in your garage... any inanimate object that isn't food or some other living thing from the 80s or earlier has that same smell for some reason.

[Guest Rambo]
