I always get jealous when I see someone else eating bacon when I'm not eating bacon.

I'm on the absolutely not to fish in the work microwave, sorry. Stupid way to cook fish anyways, eat it raw if you have to have your fish. How would you feel about a co-worker coming into your office and ripping a big 'ol juicy fart and then closing the door.
Don't get me started on the work refrigerator.

It's weird that people think others should alter their diet so you can be comfortable. I agree about the Fridge. I hate when people leave food to rot in the fridge. That is something that could actually be dangerous to others if shit gets moldy.

No bacon because the smell is insanely good and would prevent anyone from concentrating for the rest of the day.

I had to stop microwaving fish at work because a couple of people there are allergic to fish to the point that even the smell of it would make their allergies act up.
Fortunately, I live like 5 minutes from where I work, so I just go home for lunch.

This is a complete misunderstanding or misrepresentation.
I would never expect or want someone to alter their diet. And I expect most foods would have some odor when heated at work. But I personally would respect others enough to not literally stink up the office itself due to what I chose to heat in the microwave.
Reheating pizza? Fine!
Does it have anchovies? Not so fine.
Leave the Bagna Cauda at home and finish it in the evening. Your day won't be ruined without it at lunchtime.
I started this with tongue in cheek, and believe me, I am not - and have no desire to be - the office food Nazi. I just had a very recent experience with someone stinking up the office so badly it was hard to not focus on the smell. That is just so blatantly inconsiderate that it defies logic. But not surprisingly, rather than have some consideration for others, many dig in and proclaim their legal right to be inconsiderate.
On a much larger scale, that is a very modern problem. Rather than balance our rights with those of others, we make it a battle.

Well, the no bacon thing was a joke somewhat wasn't it?
If I smelled bacon, I would just get up zombie-like, and go walking in search of bacon.

That is a more reasonable explanation.

The smell the other day at the office may have been worse. Given the choice, the fart would have been preferable, as it would not have lingered as long.

It would if my food went bad. I wouldn't eat fish if I was working a day job, because I don't eat fish for lunch. But if I had fish for dinner, yeah, sorry, I'm gonna eat what I paid for so it doesn't spoil. The only time I've ever smelled fish to what you're describing is when someone over nukes the shit. By that point, it's pretty much dried out and terrible to eat anyway. But I don't think a bad smell is infringing on anyone's rights, whereas actively telling someone what they can and can't eat seems to be very much doing so. If it's an issue like BNB brought up where someone is allergic, then I fully understand.

I can honestly say I've never experienced food smelling that bad or lingering that long. Maybe that's where the disconnect is. I mean, the broccoli smelled like someone took a giant dump in the break room everyday, but it never bothered me after the initial unsuspecting whiff.

heating up bacon at work is like letting everyone know you are better than them and trying to stick their nose in it.
In the spirit of goodwill and decorum bacon stays at home or the restaurant.
