I find it difficult to avoid having your food not smell once it's warmed up. What's smelly to you? An uncommon scent? Something that smells unpleasant? Who determines that?
Fish type food for a start. My work place has a cafeteria. But I use the lunch time to run. So what I do is heat up the food, wait 20-30 minutes and eat it at my cubicle.
BTW if really doesn't matter how smelly it is, even if the food smell good is still not right for work environment.
It's simple. I've worked in an office where fish was simply not allowed to be reheated in the break room.
Smelly means "smells bad", not "has a scent".

The answer was that management decided.That's not what the question was.
I think most fish dishes smells good.
Only microwaved fish.

No, I don't hate the fact that other people exist and need to eat.
definitely read that title as 'does the smell of a coworker's blood bother you?' and was like dude you gotta find a new job
You heat up your food then let it get cold.
I bet some of you were the same kids who made fun of kids in school cafeterias with foreign parents who made them ethnic food which actually had smell...and taste

It's not the smell so much, it's the sound for me. I have a lady that sits right next to me who eats soup or salad for lunch. She sips/crunches for literally 2 hours. She eats sooo slow and it drives me fucking nuts! Just eat your fucking soup/salad and be done with it. I hear slurrppppp and crunchhhhhh for hours. Even headphones aren't enough to muffle the guttural sounds that emanate from across the cube.
RAGEEEEEEEEEEE

Eh. Seems petty to complain about something like this
I recommend saving up for some noise canceling headphones.
tell me more about myself because I find the smell of microwaved fish unpleasant
Only seafood.
Don't bring in seafood and reheat it in the microwave people.
I despise these people at work. The fish is always overly smelly fish and the popcorn burners are just lazy people who can't be bothered to watch the microwave for ~2 minutes while it cooks. And it is always the same folks in regards to the popcorn then they walk through the whole department floor with their burning popcorn because the rest of us want to smell it right?Motherfuckers who burn microwave popcorn
I get compliments when I reheat leftover red wine braised beef ribs...

Try to stick to sushi, sandwiches, subs, salads, burgers, and commonly inoffensive smelling foods.
I actually never found the seafood smell to be unpleasant. It just smells like seafood. I don't mind it.
I dunno, I grew up also eating fish (the kind where you can still see the head and that's sometimes bony if they haven't been cooked till they're soft) so maybe I'm just used to the smell of it. I can't think of too many foods where the smell is downright unpleasant for me and strong enough that I can smell it from a distance
