There is this guy setting next to me, he does not smell good at the best of time, but today man was it bad. It was like he forgot to wipe his ass or something? I had to write an e-mail to my boss to have a private meeting. I told him he must move me now, because I'm getting physical sick from the stink. So my boss and I had to brainstorm a way for everyone to save face. The question how would you tell someone they stink?

"Hey "guy" I don't mean to be rude or anything, but you smell. Can you please shower more often or at least put on some deodorant."

That would be pretty not bad.

"You stink. Do something about it or you're getting glade disinfectant sprayed in your eyes everyday."

Get him some cologne as an office 'gift'.

You could start talking to him casually about a new cologne, deodorant or soap you're "interested" in trying and ask his opinion. Ask him what he uses....I dunno

That's always a touchy subject.

Then I went around and talk to other people, they know about it too!!!
Someone else has made this fact known to my boss. I think we all had this kind of co-work once in our life. I guess u can only HOPE he notice and does something about it.

Why not just tell him? If its really bothering you all tell him. It's not a crime.

I would like to but that really hurtful to someone. I told my boss to change the seats for some people and put him in a coner, that why he would not feel we are singling him out.

Hahahah how is putting him in a corner not singling him out?!

You'd either have to A) put him in a corner with some people still near him - and thus they would be affected. Or B) put him in a corner alone...which would basically be singling him out.

Not to mention, you're still going to have to interact with this guy I'm assuming. Unless you all just avoid him.

fuck man. I really feel for you. I had the most SMELLIEST WORKER EVER. I used to automatically hold in my breath. Dude. MY BODY AND MIND CO-OPERATED WOULD AUTOMATICALLY REACT WHEN MY BRAIN/SIGHT ENGAGED THAT THIS DUDE WAS COMING TOWARDS ME AND ALERTED THE REST OF THE BODY TO HOLD MY BREATH IN.


I probably made no fucking sense, but the memories of the smell is engulfing me right now.


Fuck, I even had a talk with this guy - how people don't wear deodorant.

his "claim" on not using deo was a religious one.



BECAUSE THERE IS A PERCENTAGE OF ALCOHOL IN IT.

THAT WAS PROBABLY THE STUPIDEST THING I EVER HEARDIN MY LIFE.

fuck, even at the meeting, I was going to stand up and talk about body hygiene but my boss said noooooo, it's rude. WELL ITS FUCKING RUDE TO STINK UP MY PERSONAL SPACE.

FOR FUCKS SAKE.

Report it to HR. HR doesn't do anything about it, take matters into your own hands. [not violently obviously]

uhhhh cologne masks the smell.

you can still smell b.o. under cologne.

Ummmmmmmm tell them to shower more?

Apparently some people have a religious belief in not showering or using deoderant. Basically because they say "It's how god made us" (more so then the alcohol part I think Mona) so why use it? (they probably still shower though I'd hope???)


I saw in an interview how Matthew Mcaunahey (sp) hasn't used deoderant in 20+ years, that's nuts!
