Rant: People who smell but don't know they smell

Post by JL21 »

This dude was just in my office and I swear... he smelled like a sack of 1,000 angry buttholes. Fortunately, he's not a co-worker and I don't see the guy that often.

Someone in his circle of friends needs to let him know.

Maybe he has no circle of friends... since apparently he smells like 1,000 angry buttholes

That sounds like the worst non-fatal affliction anyone could ever have.

I mean, sure.... STD's suck but at least you get laid out of the deal. But smelling like fish all the time just from peeing, sweating, and breathing?

There's this guy at gym. If you get within 10 feet of him, you get a whiff of something that smells like the gunk that collects under your toenail.

That would really, really suck.

I work with a couple people from a small specific country that both smell horrible. Someone told me in their culture they don't bathe regularly but I have no idea if that's accurate or not.

Sure sounds/smells accurate to me.

It probably is, I just didn't want to offend anyone or start a [expletive] storm. But I physically gagged when I stood near one of them the other day.

There is a woman in our office who smells like butt everyday. She's a riot, very fun person, but she comes into work with greasy hair and dirty butt smell everyday. We have given her so many hints, and her supervisor won't say anything.

The worst part is, not to be gross but it is, when she sits on un-upholstered chairs she leaves a wet spot. Totally disgusting.
