People who crop dust the dealer hall at the conventions.

Still, not quite as bad as your average casino.

Acrylic paint when its "gone off" is pretty vile…

I am a guilty crop duster. For some reason I think moving faster will help. I do try to find empty spaces, or a door to the outside.

Old Skool Gamer, crop dusting is the art of passing gas in a crowd and quickly moving from the point of impact to divert the blame on some innocent bystander. Double G is the master.

Crop dusting also known as 'The Butler's revenge', where you drop a silent one and look accusingly at someone else.

When the Derby Worlds was held at the University I recall that the Bring & Buy room had a pretty strong aroma after about an hour, which hit you about 3 paces through the door.

Skool, think of the videos you see of a prop plane laying down pesticides. That is crop-dusting. Now imagine walking along and releasing a little dust yourself.If it sounds, or is "wet" that is a "Fire drop", think of planes that drop water to put out forest fires. That brings joys to many.
