Well we have one of those rolling popcorn machines at our work and somebody else always makes the popcorn, but yes I have burned that bagged microwave popcorn before and yes it does really smell.I was guilty of this once at my last workplace. I burned the popcorn in the break room and disposed of it as quickly as I could, and tried to nonchalantly return to my desk before anyone noticed. Unfortunately, everyone seemed to already know who the culprit was, judging by the number of teasing emails waiting for me when I got back to my desk...
Got a tip for us?

Eggs smell like actual poop.
Why would you want to waft poop smells around the office?
If someone kept taking in eggy sandwiches to work in my place, I would drop my trollies and curl off a fresh one on his/her desk.
However it is possible that he may not smell that over his egg-mayo sandwich.

FINALLY!!!! I don't think it smells bad, has a strong smell, It smells like doooo doooooo!!!!
I got you beat. The kitchen area at work is pretty close to my desk, and I am forced to smell everything that is microwaved in our office. We also have some bike messengers that will consume the most nasty things you can think of, think sardines in the microwave. The smell does not just go away within a few minutes, it makes me feel like I need to take a shower after somebody cooks or burns something in there.
Somebody in my apartment building cooks brussel sprouts to the point of making the entire hallway smell like a bum urinated all over everything. The smell usually affects my living room as well. Not that I don't like brussel sprouts, you just can't overcook them.
I also think people should not be allowed to bring food on airplanes or public transportation. My guess is that most people lack common courtesy.

Boiled eggs are great - I do a couple of cartons of them and seal them when going camping for a weekend. Well worth the effort. Not so keen on them pickled though to be fair.
As for eating smelly food in a confined public space, especially work.. just plain uncourteous. Every adult knows that eggs smell, if they bring them in anyway, well then they just don't give a toss.
You can always throw a few hints their way I guess..

Whole boiled eggs are easier to prepare than whole boiled chickens or rabbits, easier on the nose and fewer cases of projectile vomiting also.
Bring in one whole boiled rabbit, and nobody in the office is going to ever talk to you again.

Back in high school I worked at a grocery store and one of the guys in the produce department would bring 2-3 boiled eggs to work everyday and put them in the fridge for snacks. I couldn't believe that he was consuming more than a dozen eggs every week. The fridge also gave everyone a big waft of egg smell every time it was opened.
