how can i make it so these candles won't burn anymore?
i work in a renovated storage room with this girl who's like 24 or 25. It's a law firm and her and i are the only two young people here (I'm 20). But she has incense (sp?) candles that i absolutely hate. They only really smell once she puts them out. Is there anything i can do to make it so the candles won't light anymore? Like rub something on the wick?

Replace one of the candles with a stick of dynamite, trust me - nobody's going to be around to light them anymore.
Or, you could put a drop or two of a non flamable substance on the wick (like say, water?) before she tries to light them - of course if she sees you do it - you're a dead man.

Perhaps you could ask her not to burn them as they are disruptive to your work. If she refuses, talk with a supervisor. We don't tollerate people smoking around us because of the smell (mostly) so why should that shit be any different?

I would think burning candles would be against the firm's insurance policy. We got the smack laid down on us last year. There's a no open flame deal in our buildings insurance policy.

that's the problem. the boss lady lights candles too. Previously i was on the other side of the office and there was an even man/women ratio. I come over to the backside of the office where the attorneys are never here and the secretaries are all women who talk and light candles. Then they talk about candles. I have to share a room which this new chick who happens to be one of the firm's boss' daughters. I don't have a problem with the other ladies lighting candles, just this one because i'm affected by it. I might put something on the wick, just not sure of what yet.

It may not have occured to you, but if you put something on the wick and it doesn't light, she'll just get another wick from one of the other ladies. You're going to have to at least ask her to stop or cut back.

actually i made a joke about that in a casual staff meeting; it was shrugged off because i guess they smell good or something. And now as i sit here and type this, i'm remembered that she plays her cd's on her computer loud enough that i can hear. Granted, she's only like 8 ft away, but asking her to stop isn't an option. I can put up with the music cause some songs i like, but seriously, what's with women's fascination with candles?!

I just noticed it now, it's friken awesome!
As for the candles.... hmmm Maybe put something that smells awful when burnt, but dosen't appear all that noticable especially if the Candles are a light colour. Maybe try a high powered fan to at leats move the smella round. As a last resort, run a small gas engine and claim it's man-incense. I figure some sort of prank shop would carry 'specialty candles' which you could have fun with.

Maybe you could somehow find a way to increase the sensitivity of the sprinkler system?
 Now THAT would be a great solution to the problem!
