People that smell wicked bad

WTF.. I mean seriously? Why would you ever go outside of your house smelling like shit? It disgusts me and makes you a worthless human being. I'm all out in public today trying to buy some stamps and this guy stands behind me. He smells like bad breath, onions, and body odor. I seriously started gagging. WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NOT TAKE CARE OF THAT SMELL FUCK! GROSS! Let's hear your horror stories.

You went to buy stamps....what a knob.

Stamps are the new hardcore thing to do. They're replacing booting up heroin.

Ok how do I do this without insulting people? Okay I don't think I can.

I go work out at the apartment building's gym 3-4 times a week. Every time I go, there is an indian girl there. Now before you tear me a new one, I've met quite a few indians in my day and I think they're great as a people. However because they tend to eat a LOT of curry in their diet, they kind of exude that, and usually it's not a big deal. Until they sweat.

I suppose after 20 minutes I get used to it. Other times I can't stand it and have to walk away for a few minutes. She's probably immune to it and I'm no one to tell someone else to mind their odors, but wow, how do you deal with it?

Yeah I don't get the whole body odor thing. Maybe I care because I don't like to stink badly and smell myself once I dress and shower daily, twice on the days I work out. I guess I don't get how people don't care.

You're not the only one. In my old appartment I was the only white guy living there. To my right I had a Chinese couple that would have sex CONSTANTLY in the middle of the night, to the right a really cool black guy, and above me two floors full of Indians. ANyway, they cooked a lot of fucking curry and stunk up the outside something fierce. Nothing they can do about it I'm sure, but it sure didn't smell pleasant.

How about old "office manager" (secretaries) who somehow manages to fill your office with a horrible musk smell within a few minutes, and it takes a few hours for it to go away.

But at least, I can always know when she's coming... the smell preceeds her!

.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to think of a way to mention to her that she needs to cut down on the "perfume", already had the discussion with my coworkers while she was out of the office, but they're too spineless (I was hoping that a female coworker would do it, thinking it'd be better from another woman who knows how to do it "tactfully") so I'll have to do it myself if I want my nose to remain untortured.

Maybe mention the wonderful world of febreeze to her?

I'm not exactly postive it's the type of spray that you use to make a room smell better or a laundry deterrant... but thinking it's the former... it may be a good hint?

"Geez, I wish there were some cans of febreeze around here... ooof, does it stink!" :!:

The year is 2002, the time of day is afternoon, the event is the annual Taste of Chicago downtown in Grant Park. As I'm walking along with my brother and our friends, I start getting this terrible fucking whiff of what smelled like hot stinky shit mixed with sweat and funk.. it was gross and I had to catch myself from gagging. It was already hot as hell that day but we're just walking along with everyone else and I'm looking straight ahead trying to out walk the smell. I turned to my sister and say "shit, it smells like some nasty ass bum is walking with us, ugh". She starts laughing so hard and jerks her head to the left of her and there is a fucking nasty ass sick looking SMELLY bum walking right next to our group. I was so sickened and disgusted I couldn't even eat anything and we just like swayed away from this guy while we were walking.

This is probably my number one peeve, stinky ass motherfuckers, smelling like death for no damn reason. Soap is like, a dollar, wtf.

[Asha]

Up here , we have whole towns ( no names mentioned ) that stink of Curried-body odour.

It's kinda sad.
On another note, I've been sooo careful to smell perfect whenever I leave the house. All due to , when I was 5 I shat myself on a school bus.
Kinda stays with you.

Drayal says "5", but we all know he means "25" ;)

When I swam in high school, we had this one extremely overweight official who smelt probably like you could imagine someone's asshole smelling like after they ran 15 miles in 100 degree weather wearing 5 pairs of sweatpants. He literally smelled like an asshole. It was absolutely disgusting.

I love the people that don't shower after a night of drinking and smell like b uttered ass.

San Luis Obispo County bans offensive body odor in libraries

Associated Press

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - A new county law aims to keep readers from reeking.

Libraries in San Luis Obispo County have had their own rules banning offensive body odor since 1994, but the policy became law after the Board of Supervisors last month adopted an ordinance that lets authorities kick out malodorous guests.

Visitors to 14 libraries and a bookmobile could also be asked to leave for fighting, eating, drinking, sleeping, playing games, and printing or viewing illegal materials on library computers.

"The point is to make the library a comfortable, safe place for everyone to use," said Moe McGee, assistant director of the San Luis Obispo City-County Library.

A strict code of conduct, officials argue, is needed to ensure one patron's right to use a public library doesn't infringe on the rights of another.

Yet the law can raise tough questions for librarians, said Irene Macias, Santa Barbara's library services manager.

"What is bad odor?" Macias asked. "A woman who wears a strong perfume? A person who had a garlicky meal?"

In Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo, noisome guests are rarely shown the door, McGee and Macias said.

"We seldom have to ask someone to leave," McGee said. "It rarely happens. If it does we're very careful to give coupons about where they can wash their clothes or take a shower. We do it in as humane a way as possible."

The issue arose in 1989 when a homeless man in Morristown, N.J., sued for harassment after he was evicted from a library because officials said he was disruptive and had bad body odor.

A federal court ruled it was unconstitutional for the library to remove him, but the decision was overturned in 1992 by an appeals court that found libraries may enforce rules that are reasonable and fairly applied.

McGee said San Luis Obispo's prohibition hasn't prompted any lawsuits.

"People have always taken the first suggestion to clean up and we've never had anyone object to that," she said.

Copy and paste article?

[CrystalTears]

One of our business managers must not have a sense of smell, or too little of it because she must shower herself with perfume. The only nice thing I can say about it is that I know when she walks into a room and find it easy to get to her office. Good lord. Moderation, woman! :pales:

I agree with the article, but it doesn't go far enough. I'm all for public floggings for horrific odors. Christ, France would be PWNED if that was the case.

- Arkans

[Makkah]

I think I'm not alone in my assessment that fat people tend to have a higher ratio of stinking:non-stinking.

rht

Everyone agrees with it, but some people are too scared to admit it.

- Arkans

[Warriorbird]

I think I smell less nasty after getting drunk on mixed drinks than beer or malt.

Hard booze is the worst.

- Arkans

[CrystalTears]

Skinny people can be just as vile smelling as a fat person. That's a stupid ass theory and you can't prove it.

[Gan]

When I was in management I had to council several direct labor employees on body odor and why it can be viewed offensive as well as be bad for business. Curry can reek pretty bad, as well as Cumin that is used in Mexican food.

I've also had to talk with employees on what they cook in the breakroom due to the odor saturating their area, the hallway, and other departments. (Microwaved leftover fish) This once caused a patient who was walking by with a physical therapist to blow chow in the hallway due to the smell.

Fat people tend to sweat more and over a larger body mass. Not only that, but they have folds in the skin where sweat can fester and create a stench. Not saying that thin people can't smell, but fat people have a greater chance to smell with more of a punch.

- Arkans

[CrystalTears]

You pulled that out of your smelly ass, didn't you? ;)

[Atlanteax]

Eh, I can see Arkan's reference to entrapped bacteria.

It's just obvious that it could happen.

- Arkans

[Warriorbird]

Eh. The stankest person I ever met was a 5'1" skinny female. The next stankest was a probably 6'3"-6'4" moderately overweight guy. Some people just smell bad. I think you just mind a fat person more when they smell than a skinny one, for the most part. I know I sat next to some smelly hot chicks on the trains in Europe and minded less than the morbidly obese German tourists that sat next to me on my flight back.

It seems like European men really arn't into deoderant. It's messed up. I have noticed this though:

Europe = Clean house, dirty people
America = dity house, clean people

- Arkans

[CrystalTears]

If it's from the point of view that Warriorbird just stated, then that I can believe. It's more about tolerance and what kind of person you're willing to accept it from more than others. That makes more sense than to just flat out say that fat people smell more than skinny people. Thanks. :)

I guess if obvious logic doesn't work then yeah... Most definately. Sweaty fat people smell more than sweaty thin people, don't care how you cut it.

- Arkans

[DeV]

If you've ever played a sport you would know that smelly fat people can, at times, take a back seat to smelly average weight people depending on the situation and what your senses can tolerate. Hell, and that's not even with just sports.

[4a6c1]

Smelly secretaries OMG: I've had two. The first of which was completely responsible for my harassement of the second. I just couldnt deal. :no:

Her 'goodbye basket' (called that because she left after I gave it to her) included some febreeze, kroger perfume, lisol and another air freshner, glade candles, dial soap. PEOPLE, DONT JUDGE. I tried to talk to this woman about it but she was in love with her funk. So nasty....

On a completely different note...I'm wearing Victoria Secrets perfume. Its a light scent and good for spring. :yes:

Just like my Polo Blue!

My feet used to smell so bad after I sweat that they'd wake me up in the middle of the night.

I had to learn how to sharpen my own ice skates, because no one would stay in the same room they were in.

Gonna have to call shennanigans on this one. After high school football and high school and college track, I can say with utter confidence that fat people stink more (in number and severity) than non-fat people.


EDITED: This is not to say non-fat people can't smell like pure dick-cheese.

[The Cat In The Hat]

I had to sit next to this guy on a plan that was extremely heay and smelled like ass. I couldn't change seats because it was a full flight and I didn't want to be rude but I swear I spent the whole time facing the other direction and breathing with my shirt over my nose.

[4a6c1]

....and at about that time I would have been demanding a business class seat :lol:

[Edited on 4-11-2005 by Makkah] I highlighted the key words. Also, I'm primarily talking college sports (football, soccer, basketball) as those are lockers rooms I have been accustomed to from high school up to my undergrad. As far as comparison in sheer numbers you'd probably be right but I haven't smelled every single fat person on earth so I couldn't make that assumption without certainty.

I think when it comes to smelling bad and body odor there are some fat people who definitely take the fucking cake but then again there are fat people who smell worlds better than your average weight funky person. Heh, find a skinny ass crack/crank/herion junky any day of the week and compare them to your average fat smelly Joe... bet you'd be surprised.
Then again, Warriorbird summed up my feelings on it. I don't care if you're fat or skinny, just don't fucking stink around me and I'm happy.

Funny story about the junky. Someone I used to hang out with all the time was a heroin addict and he made sure that he always smelled good, cleaned himself, and kept a decent appearance. He HATED looking like a bum.

Speaking of garlic...my grandfather has a garlic and wine festival every second weekend in October. Draws between 20-30 thousand people.

http://www.rebecwinery.com/vwgf.htm

He, being an intelligent business person, makes the family come back for a reunion/slave labor. We have to deal with some smelly people while working that festival.

I used to manage a gaming store. You know, table top RPGs, card games, Warhammer 40k, that kind of geeky thing. And holy crap, did I get some smelly dorks in there. It was amazing the kind of funk that this greasy little 15-year-old geeks could generate. Thank god I was a manager and could delegate dealing with the worst ones to my luckless underlings.

At first, I tried hanging a sign on the entrance. "No shirt, no shoes, no shower, no service." The geeks just thought it was a joke and kept coming in. Finally I had to use my powers as an older girl gamer and occupier of their dream job to embarrass a couple of the worst offenders. After that, they took a shower before EVERY TIME they visited the shop, to the point of coming in with hair still dripping.

[Tsa`ah]

We used day laborers from a temp service called labor ready last week. Didn't know what we were getting ourselves into. Labor Ready is a "work today, get paid today" temp service. They open their doors at 5am; the temps walk in and wait for assignments.

Day 1 - 6 temps roll out of a Festiva 45 minutes late (order placed at 5:30 am for 6 temps to arrive at 7am ... WTF). We couldn't place them in support positions to full time employees due to the stench each on had rolling off of them. I don't know if I could describe it but it made me gag and my eyes water from brief contact, I wasn't about to make someone else work with them for 8 hours. So we put them in the ware house for clean up and call the service to tell them we need 6 not so funky smelling temps the next morning ... ON TIME.

Day 2 - The same 6 roll out of the same festiva. The smell is even worse. We keep them in the warehouse again except send them back after the minimal 4 hours. Call the service again and ask WTF? If they stink ... don't send them.

Day 3 - An econoline van breaks down at the plant entrance. Not like in the entrance lane ... no ... right the fuck in the middle ... blocking everything. Apparently it was the driver's and 4 of the passenger's home. I'm not sure if the stink on the guys was from the van, or if the stink from the van was from the guys, but the 6th guy literally hurled when they managed to get the van moved into parking spot. Poor bastard was just a freshman looking to make some extra cash and the fuck nuts at the temp service shove him into a work group that smelled like rotten ass.

The temp service sent out a driver to get the 5 roomies (we didn't even bother logging them in and just shelled out the 20 hours of labor to the service). The driver was the owner of the aforementioned Festiva. The student we kept for two reasons, he didn't stink and he couldn't fit into the festiva ... nor were we going to suggest he try. Which worked out good for him because he was a good find and we were creating 6 part time positions.

Thursday the service calls up at 9 and asks if we need anyone ... what the hell?

Friday they call again and ream my administrative assistant for hiring one of their only reliable guys. What the fuck do they expect? They charge us 19 an hour for some smelly ass bastards, but only pay those smelly ass bastards 5.50 an hour. They should expect at some point in time that the decent non-smelly temps will jump at an offer of 13 bucks an hour.

[Warriorbird]

Tough love from gamer chicks. It could do the gaming store industry a lot of good.

[Jennaen]

Generally a good way to handle someone with overpowering perfume or cologne is to take them aside and politely explain that their scent is strong, and ask them to either wear less, or abstain from wearing it during business hours.

Lots of people are allergic to fragrances, and wearing enough that others can smell you more than a few inches away is inappropriate in the workplace, particularly if you have regular visitors in your office space, such as clients/customers.

I'm inclined to agree. I work with a skinny beanpole guy, and he stinks to high fucking hell and apparently has no clue that his body odors are causing permanent damage to other peoples' sinuses.

I also used to work with a fat guy that smelled just as bad and was equally oblivious to the fact that he smelled like rancid rotten ball sweat.

Except the fat guy's teeth all fell out within a couple years, so I think he wins the "I'm a trashy bitch." award.

I've met bums that smelled better than these two people.

There is something very wrong with human odor emissions in respect to consuming massive quantities of asparagus.

And cabbage.

[Jorddyn]

Sadly, the worst smelling person I've ever known is my step-cousin. He was/is a serious addict. After he'd been living on the streets for a while, his parents let him move back home. After they realized that they'd never get the smell out of the bed if they let him stay, the moved him into the utility room with only blankets and a pillow. After he moved out again, they burned the blankets and pillow, but the utility room still smelled for ages.

I haven't seen him in years so I can't comment on his current level of stank.

[Shari]

Right after my senior graduation my family went to Europe. First place we stopped was Rome.

Rome is by FAR my most favorite place over there, aside from the LACK OF DEODORANT THAT PEOPLE WEAR THERE.

So we're riding this tour bus to the Colluseum, and not only are there actually tourists on there, but locals are hopping on and using it as their main mode of transportation. This would be fine if they kept it at their capacity of 40 people, NOT 70. We were so cram-packed in there, the guy my mom was standing infront of was getting a hard on, and my face was right in the armpit of some hairy Italian guy.

Tears streaming down my face, when we got to our stop, I literally climbed over people to escape the bus.

After dry-heaving several times my dad says, "This is how it is in other countries, Shari. Americans have the luxury of having a personal bubble to stand in, doesn't work like that here."

After wiping my mouth I promply told him to "shut the fuck up."

All and all, the excursion around the Colluseum was FANTASTIC...and in apology my dad got me a t-shirt for feeling so guilty and not empathising for a girl who's never been out of the country before.

Note: Don't ride tour busses, take a taxi or walk. <shudder>

[Snapp]

One of my assistant managers reeked to holy hell. I swear he never brushed his teeth (they were greenish/brown) and bathed maybe once a week... plus he was like 60 and always looked really greasy (and he was not fat). I actually had to call the higher ups and they had to come in and talk to him about his hygiene. He said that he was diabetic and thats why he had an odor. Umm, try brushing your teeth or using deodorant!

You all have obviously not smelled burning refuse on the side of the road in Mosul

[FinisWolf]

I did not read the whole thread, so if someone already addressed this, please forgive me.

Some people just can not help it. As an example..., my step-father was one..., he could shower four times a day, and no matter what, he just plain stunk, didn't matter how many shower, what cologne, etc.

Of course this does not excuse everyone, but do try to remember that some people can not help it, no matter what they do.

[Jazuela]

Very true Finis. There was a girl where I used to work at the phone company. She had a medical condition and was on chemo (it wasn't cancer but something else that needed chemo for, I never learned what it was). The meds they made her take, caused her to smell like rotting vegetables. It was REALLY horrible and the smell permeated the entire department.

She knew she stunk and it was so humiliating to her that she quit after a month, even though everyone in the department went out of their way to be understanding about the situation. We felt pretty badly for her, even when we held our breath to pass her cubby.

On the OTHER hand..my boss at the same department had some serious stank problems. She took pills for halitosis (bad breath) but it didn't help at all. And what's worse, her feet smelled JUST as bad..
and she would TAKE HER SHOES OFF while sitting at her office or walking in the immediate area of it.

She knew she stunk. And she took her shoes off! I swear to god..I got a transfer out of there just as soon as I was eligible.
