Ewww Body Odour!

I got home from shopping and when the elevator arrived 2 guys got out. One had a bicycle and the other a golf bag on a tripod cart.

I got in and nearly passed out from the smell! Horrid body odour so strong that I wanted to throw up! *blech!!!*

Can't people smell themselves?!!!

LOL, reminds me of the time we were hiking in the Rocky Mountains. The shuttle we were on stopped to pick up 2 guys who'd been doing REMOTE camping for the previous 5 days! My daughter was not so subtle, being just out of first grade!

I work in a bar and no some people dont realise how they smell and its heartbreaking to be totally honest. And to be honest if they have either been cylcing and playing golf all afternoon they are probably on their way home to get cleaned up!

No, they weren't on their way home. These 2 guys live in the 2 bedroom next to me. So they had the chance to shower.

Gotta love kids for saying it the way it is!

I remember when I was a kid, my Dad would be simply horrified by some of the things that came out of my mouth when we were on the bus!

I hate body odour but also people who just smell bad. I picked up a man yesterday for the Senior Services people and he smelled awful. It looked as thogh he had just had a shower as his hair was wet, but eeeww.

I take the elevator in our office building and what you may smell on any given day is anyone's guess!

On the good days it doesn't have a smell.

There's been a couple times that it smelled like oranges and strawberries.

Then there are...those days. There are a lot of courier deliveries & pick ups and when it's hot and they've been in the hot car that apparently has no Air Conditioning the aroma lingers long after they're gone. And the smokers who, I assume, do not roll down their windows. It's been quite a while since we got one of the smokers who smelled distinctly sweet (and I don't mean clove or cherry smoke either!). Sad to say, that at least has a fairly pleasant aroma. Well, comparatively it's a pleasant aroma!

Honestly, though, the ones I hate the most are the ones who bathe in perfume or cologne. I don't care how good it smells as a mist...it doesn't smell good like that!

Well, they were probably heading for the showers! Coming from bike riding and golfing. I guess it was a workout

No, the thing is that they were leaving the building that they live in. They live on the same floor as I do, and I encountered them on the main floor. They were getting out of the elevator to leave the building. So they were leaving home smelling like a stinky sewer!

Elevators smell entirely different to those if us that are height challenged.

I stank last night after two days of blistering temps, couldn't stand myself.

And this is why in the Summer I've been known to shower up to 4 times a day

Eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww I don't like to get stuck beside stinky people. Strong perfume and body odor are both disgusting

EWWWW, well, then I guess they plan on showering after the bike ride and I get that. But the golfer , I thought they all liked to be fresh and dressed well and smelling nice out on the greens

Been there... I once had a client who smelled so bad the chair he sat in would smell after he left. He lived in a leaky place and was a pack rat. Sad really. I had another cleint who bathed and all; but she lived in a really old, musty smelling apartment. She didn't have enough money for proper food half the time so she washed her things by hand in the tub and air dried them. Which just put the musty smell onto her clothing too. For both I used to just keep a baby-powdered cented candle open on my desk. It worked wonders!! The worst part of it for me personally was having to TELL them they stunk. It was my job to help them get ready to get a job... Actually my male co-worker had to tell the guy because he wasn't directly my client. I really hope those 2 are in better situations today.

I work in retail and this couple came in to return a radio that didn't work anymore.
They REEKED of cat urine and the radio was covered in it...
They wanted a refund for it.......

That's nasty! I always carry deoderant with me especially in the summer and I sweat when I get nervous which is a lot quite embarrassing, but I always make sure I smell good.

Going to anime conventions can be... horrifying.

I've never found that to be true.

There was a woman in an office I once worked in who smoked so much that if I parked downwind of her truck on a breezy day, my car would end up stinking of it. I still can't believe it.
