B.O

veryangryman

Man i cant stand B.O. Just got an awful sample from a visitor to my desk and it inspired me to write this

Yes its all high and mighty of me to say this, but surely someone in an industry where you sweat very little on a normal 9-5 (s/w job), you shouldnt make such smells

Perhaps it is because more and more people are looking after their personal hygene etc that it becomes more noticeable (similar to noticing people smokiing indoors per se) but still, I feel a new need to run around the office with a shotgun laughing manically while im at it

Why did i write this? Sharing is caring

Ask for a shampoo sample next time instead.

Give them soap on a rope for a gift?

Poison their lunch. Its the only logical way to deal with it

I agree that the smell of stale sweat is stomach churning but I also abhor the other extreme, the overly perfumed visitor to the desk. Some women and most men seem to think that a can of deodorant or a bottle of cologne only contains one application and that every last drop of it must be applied in one go.

I'd bring it up subtly if you have to work with them on a regular basis. Nothing worse than the smell of stale sweat. Have a shower ffs.

You know what they say "every fox finds his own hole"!

connundrum

Guys that I work with would wear a uniform for 4-5 days in a row.

When you'd walk into the room that they're in you'd swear someone nearly punched you with the smell.

Fucking disgusting IMO.

I'd nearly prefer if they were to smoke in the room.

I worked in a stockroom with a guy with an atrocious smell. He was told twice by management about it, even started bringing deoderant into working for himself but STILL he smelt. And we had stocktakes without air conditioning once...

Pighead

Pighead smells of something worse than BO. He smells of woman. Have only just realised it too. Bought a can of Right Guard last evening (not Pighead's usual choice of fragrance but he had run out of the good stuff and Right Guard was all the local shop sold) and it came in a manly navy tin that screamed out masculinity and musky goodness.

Sprayed it on this morning and since then have had the weird feeling that a sweet smelling woman has been following Pighead all morning long. Have just sniffed the old oxters and it turns out the sweet smelling woman is none other than........yours truly. Disaster.

As smells go, I don't find BO all that bad. People farting continuously is far more disgusting in my opinion.

The other thing about B.O. is that is wasn't ever really noticed before a soap manufacturer started pointing it out in their advertising. Up until the company started telling them it was an offensive odour and they should buy their soap, it wasn't!

For example, everybody in the THIS photo absolutely reeked of B.O. but because everyone did, it wasn't really noticed!

They all look like they're on the verge of collapsing over the smell - they're all holding each other up.:eek:

And this is why I am against time machines

There's a guy I work with. He's only new, but people generally try to avoid the locker room whenever he is in there, or wait for about ten minutes after he left. He smells something awful. Nobody knows if its his feet or what, but it smells like a rat farted mustard gas and then decomposed then and there, while having sex with a skunk.

You just can't tell the difference between an odour-induced collapse and a good hokey-cokey.
Ah, the folly of youth.

Sorry about that. I've been eating rotten mice curries for dinner every evening and haven't washed my feet since aught o four.

I'm now earwormed with "hokey Cokey". Damn you sir!
My left leg is being put in, my left leg is being put out, back in and now I'm shaking the damned thing all about!

You know its bad when a customer comes in and smells really bad, but leaves the smell lingering behind also.

That's a good thing. People don't do the hokey-cokey enough anymore.
I say, if the people of the world united in a global hokey-cokey every weekend, we could all be living in a world without war.

Anyone whose ever worked in a bookies will have at least oen of those customers. A regular who you could set your watch to with his coughs and spits, not to mention the smell.

He was also deaf so when he wasnt lookingm, we'd spray some Haze as he walked off. I struggled to keep a straight face sometimes

...until some moron puts the wrong leg in and there's a chain reaction leading to global catastrophe.
