Imagine being the manager who has to do it. Very sensitive subject

Back in the 70's an elderly woman of about 90 used to appear at about 15 minutes into a Sunday Mass service and always sit in the exact same place.

People use to stay well clear of her because she reeked of piss. She always carried two full shopping bags of assorted bottles for some strange reason, probably refundable. As she would walk up the aisle the bottles would clatter giving people in the surrounding pews a chance to give her plenty of breathing space and stay well clear.

This woman became known to every school kid in the area as the bottle maggot. (Kids can be crule.

i had to do it with a chinese girl in bewleys years ago. i never felt so uncomfortable

My ex boyfriend was noteriously adverse to a good ol' clean. He looked like Captain Caveman and stank like old cheese. What I ever saw in him, I'll never know. He refused to cut his toenails to the point where they looked like talons, he never used deoderant and on a warm day he'd sweat like a pig.

*cringes*

I really don't get why some people won't take the time to clean themselves. Apart from it being mortifying to have someone point out that you are unclean or be riddiculed about it, how uncomfortable it must be to live that. :eek:

There was a girl I went to secondary school with who had a smell the likes of which I've never come across since. It was so bad that when I was going to have a class where I had to sit beside her I'd skip the class (and I wasn't the type to skip class, but there was no way I could sit beside her).

You could tell when she was on her period too, because there was a distinct smell of it on top of her usual odour.

My stomach turned reading that last line. Fcking hell.

There's a lad that sits up front in one class that I teach. Awful stink off him. I've started teaching from the far side at the top of the room. Nothing worse.

Remember my boyfriend telling me about this guy he used to work with who didn't change his clothes too often and smelled very bad, particularly his feet. He was regularly told off about it but never changed his ways. One time they decided to count how many days he had the same t shirt on for and they got to 23 days and then they had enough of it and ripped it off him and made him put on a clean one.

In fairness there must be something wrong with someone if they are told they smell awful and still do nothing about it!!

caitmb · 15-02-2012 11:23PM

I once worked in a taxi office and had our pick of smellies but the king of them all had a stench that arrived in the office ten minutes before he did! His hands and nails were black with dirt and his 'tache was always full of food.He insisted on paying in change before his trip and I used to pretend I was busy and get him to leave it on the counter.When he left I sprayed the change to death with bleach and left it soaking in the sink for ages....

Ps....whatever driver annoyed me most on the day used to get him for his regular twenty minute trip!!

We had to get out manager to do it recently for one of our colleagues. Smelt like a wet dog and I'm pretty sure his feet were just two giant lumps of cheddar manoeuvred into a pair of shoes.

However, he is just the man to do this kind of thing. He has an almost childlike ability to be bluntly honest, to the point of being overtly harsh, yet still gets away with it as though he's some sort of cheeky scamp having a laugh.

When I worked in Tesco, no one wanted to sit on the express till because every single day this aul fella would come to buy his dinner. Honestly, the smell was something else - it'd hit you even before you saw him.

It started when he was in the queue, about 4 customers away from you. There was an odd fragrance, like unusual flowers (not perfumey ones though). As he got closer the smell would become more and more intense until you'd literally be throwing the groceries into the packing area, trying to hurry through the queue and get him away from you. Oddly enough, when he was standing directly in front of you there was no smell. I guess it was like being in the eye of the storm or something.

Unsurprisingly, he was always filthy. I don't know what he kept in his pockets but it looked like soil. He'd hand you a pile of change with bits of leaves and God knows what else.

He was fcuking horrible.

Katgurl · 15-02-2012 11:56PM

My friend smells sometimes. It's like she never grew out of being a scruffy teenager while everybody else went ahead with their lives. I feel really sorry for her.

Dudess · 16-02-2012 12:16AM

Was in a house-share years ago with a girl who reeked of ancient sweat, hair grease, ear-wax, bad breath and manky gee. Once every few weeks she would shower. She washed clothes every few months. Never saw her wash bedclothes. Any movement from her would cause the gee whiff to enter the atmosphere. It was obvious when she was on the blob because of the stink - yet still no showers. She used to walk long distances regularly yet no shower afterwards. She would bring cups and plates into her room and never bring them back out to the kitchen. She smoked in her room too. The smell off her would make you recoil. It was as if she'd just given up the ghost and it was pretty pitiful.

I read about a similar person here before, only she had a boyfriend and could be heard shagging him, then just heading to work - no sound of a shower. And she cycled to work, to add to the stinkyness.

I'm a teacher and every year we have to subtly mention to first years round about April/May (when the weather starts getting warmer) that they have to start washing a little more often. And that deodorant isn't a substitute for a shower. To be fair, girls are usually not so bad, boys can be brutal. Although interestingly, as they get older boys (especially the sporty ones) get almost OCD about their hygiene, they're probably just paranoid after running & building up a sweat so much.

But grown adults not showering and looking after themselves, there's no excuse. And what's with people going around with dirt under their nails?? I know one girl who is a nurse and her 3 children are filthy and she constantly has dirt under her nails. I would hate her looking after me in hospital. I actually think it's pretty sad if people have zero pride in their personal hygiene and presentation.

I laughed at the blunt turn-of-phrase, but then immediately felt seriously queasy at the thought of this creature. Some people just need to cop on and have a wash.

I know the man you're talking about, he sat beside me on the bus once, despite there being at least a dozen empty sets he could have taken. My eyes watered the whole way to Gorey, and when I got there, my friend commented on a terrible smell being around - it had ended up on my entire left.
Jesus Christ, it must be terrible to be famous on the internet for your stink.

there is nothing worse than the smell of an unwashed kipper. i worked with a girl in a dessert factory years ago that reeked of gee

efb · 16-02-2012 12:37AM

Smelliest fcuker ever I sat beside on the train once he reeked and all the seats were full, after a few stops he wanted to plug in his phone into the socket (oh yeah he stepped out and let me in so I was trapped) and it didn't work, so he went over and sat beside a girl (seat now vacant) and plugged in his phone and stayed there!!!

The poor girl pulled he scarf around her face and nearly went puce!

SirDelboy18 · 16-02-2012 12:38AM

They seem to congregate at bookies and buses. So f*cking annoying and disrespectful too. I have a right to breathe as well.

When it's as bad as she was, it must be psychological I'd say. I mean, there's extreme laziness, but this went beyond even that. Funny, she had a pretty normal personality, and friends, and would have been attractive if she made an effort. I just can't understand why her friends or boss didn't appear to intervene. I get that it's very difficult but personally I'd be able to say it to a friend.

IcedOut · 16-02-2012 12:47AM

I once knew a lad that wore the same clothes everyday and never washed them and judging by the smell, I'd say he showered about once every week.

Maybe he has the ability to sniff out a woman on heat :eek::eek:

Great to hear of a teacher that speak highly of their pupils :rolleyes:

I worked with a girl that had lots of friends and was social but came in looking disheveled all the time. When she ate food it would be all over her face and she was growing a bit of Tom selleck as well. Couldn't understand it especially the moustache

saa · 16-02-2012 12:54AM

Yeah thats the thing there is usually a sad reason they smell bad, I can kind of guess if someone doesn't wash themselves for a long time (I'm not talking one or two days, some people get mad rage if they hear someone hasn't taken a daily shower~)
or sometimes you smell urine off someone, but there was this one girl in school and I have no idea what the smell was sour cream, bad vagina, grease.. very tangy yet had a deep aroma to it, poor girl.

If I smell a bit of BO off someone it doesn't bother me but if it was someone I had to be around every day I'd have to say something only because the scary thing is if I did smell, I wouldn't know about it. I probably will need that soon, trying to give up using the spray deodorants.

Smelly breath people are bad too. The ones who come over and stand over you in work.

Makes me wanna vomit.

Brush your teeth or suck on mints get your smelly breath out of my face.

I think we all went to school with someone who smelt of vinegar and weetabix your eyes would water beside them!
