When I was in college there was a 30 year old chinese freshman in my dorm who had a similar problem with his body stench and dental hygene. One night I taped a toothbrush and cologne sample to his door with a note saying "try these, they work wonders." He still didn't get the hint. I think setting him up to get fired is the only way out, man.

Ask him what kind of deodorant he uses/laundry detergent/etc.

there used to be a guy who worked in my office who came in everyday reeking of booze and cigarettes (and sometimes pot). they actually put one of those big ionic air purifiers in his cubicle because so many people complained about the stank.

A situation such as this needs to be handled through HR or a manager.

this is so true! I work with a 30-something year old who is single and lives alone with his cats - and i think he feels he doesn't have any reason to shower. It's like that old fashioned mindset of only showering if you have somewhere special to go ( ew )
He's the nicest guy ever, but he wears the same shirt to work every day with the same black jacket over top covered in white cat hair and when he leans over me sometimes I get this intense wave of tangy body odour.

oh and too many cat people have either dirty places, horrible hygiene, or both.

I find that to be more true of people who have dogs. The dirty places part anyways.

I don't see many people with dogs that way, but I guess it just depends on who you're exposed to.

You need to be fairly straight up with this person. There's no overly "nice" way to tell someone they smell, lol. We had the same problem at work with someone last year. Fortunately I work in the health care field and we actually do have strict hygiene policies, so we just reminded her that all employees are expected to shower/bathe and be in a fresh uniform when they come to work.

Do what I did w/ one of my suitemates (who I can't believe really never showered): call him/her Smelly by name :P

If it was that bad that he's stinking up the whole office, I'd just tell him how it is. Fuck bending over backwards due to other people's problems. If it was bothering me, I'd just blurt it out like i do here when i think someone is stupid

This is not a matter that should be taken into your hands. Address it with HR or Management.

I totally disagree.
Why should a manager have to get involved over other members of thr working team?
It's a problem to the interior of the workplace - not the exterior (unless you guys meet face to face with clients).
I always do everything I can do on my own before I call a manager. I can't ever imagine myself calling HR or one of my bosses to come tell someone they stink.

...or just hose them down with whatever perfume you have at hand.
Technically it can be considered assault, so you may as well bean them with the bottle if they look to pursue that route and make it really worth your while.
