Really, really, REALLY bad BO!!.....do you tell 'em?

[2porscheguy]

On Sunday I went to the nearby Rogers (cell phone service provider) store as I was having some problems with my old ass Iphone. As soon as I opened the door...IT HIT ME! Nose hair curlin', blepharospasm (severe eyelid twitching) inducing, really, really, REALLY bad BO!!...and I knew exactly the source..the young lady clerk working the front desk (I was the only person in there with her at first). OK, she was quite pleasant and actually fairly attractive but.....PEEEUUUUH!

Soon other people came in to the store and I could just see their reactions as they walked in...I motioned the "It's not me" look! Actually two people just turned around and immediately vacated the premises!

She couldn't immediately solve the problem that I was having so she told me that she'd look it up and so it might take awhile. I said OK I've got to go to the bank.....so I left the store just to get the hell out of there...gasping for fresh air as I left!

So would you guys have told her??...I probably should have as she was loosing customer after customer....or tell management I suppose.

As I left I kept checking myself with a sniff test just to make sure that I hadn't been entombed by the smell!

Racist!

Years ago had a similar problem with a co worker from an un named sub continent. He got an American girlfriend who weaned him off his mothers traditional over spiced garbage foods and the problem went away.

I guess I'd leave to re-arm. Eat some brocolli and then some Taco Bell. Return and fight fire with fire- you know, fart up a big ass toxic cloud in her general direction. OTOH, you might return on her day off, in which case there would be collateral damage.

Tell her.......but only after your phone is fixed......

Years ago I hired an employee who had oral pyria...was so bad you could even see it.
One event with him in the crew truck with me for just a few minutes ended it. Stunk up the truck.
The good news was that he was lazy so I fired him at 10:30 one morning.

Oh man, been there done that. It hard if you have to get close to that person, like stand next to you talking and looking at stuff. I had to keep backing away but they keep getting closer. My father was in the jewelry business and these guys, not east Indian, but they eat lots of garlic so that smell comes out of their pores (and that they are big people). I hated getting caught up with them in the old elevator especially during the summer months. It was bad.

Nooffenseoranything.com. Get her email address though.

inserting the ethnicity wasn't really necessary, imho.
stinky is stinky.
i went into a store, ok, a Walmart ....... there was this smelly honky .........

[sammyg2]

Yes, absolutely. No beating around the bush, point blank.

As in "I find your odor extremely offensive and I'm leaving now because i can't stand to be in the same room as you. Good day ma'am."

When I worked on gas stations I got that a lot. Two flavors, curry & kimchi.

TRUE!....fixed it!

Could be a way of getting out of doing work.
Not busy less work.
Could also be a medical condition.

Better to be PC than to be honest!

I used to work in HVAC. I was paired up with a guy, when in the summer time he would be soaked from sweat by the time he showed up for work in the morning. He wasn't that heavy but he was hairy. He would smell like a sweaty wet dog with bad BO. We used to drive in the work vehicle together. He had this nasty habit of raising his arms and putting his hands behind his head. I told him regularly FLAPS down. He had good grooming habits but no one else would work with him. He was a pretty good guy, except for that.
I wasn't PC with him.

Worked in a machine shop. One of the workers smelled so bad from BO nobody would go within 20ft. He worked night shift and the night manager was able to put him on a machine that he was the only one in the whole building. He was asked to do something and nothing happened. Finally the Supervisor sent him home for a week with a bar of scented deoderant soap. Told him to use it twice a day or don't come back. And that he was to take a shower using soap evey day if he did come back.

We also found out that his wife was pressing his clothes by putting them under the cusions on the couch.

He came back without the BO a week later. After not very long he got a hair cut and started wearing cleaner clothes. He cleaned up pretty good. After a year he had bought a much nicer car (had a very beat up dirty old van) and then after another year got another job.
