| Offensive body odor from a friend or coworker: How do you tell them?
Posted: 7/11/2009 1:43:50 PM | I got a better alterninative to the sticky, gooey, underarm deoderant spray, or wipe on crap.
I use aftershave lotion, yes, I said aftershave lotion, and not that other stickey, gooey crap.
Aftershave lotion may sting a wee bit after putting it on, BUT, it sure leaves a nice, pleasant smell under those arm-pits, and even if you do swet, the aftershave lotion, sure covers over the body odor, annnnnnnnnnnd, it, does not stick to your body, like some stickey, gooey deoderant spray, or wipe on crap does.
So, THAT, IS what I use, and THAT does NOT CHANGE, either. | |

Hey Stanka$$.... ever heard of a new thing they have called SOAP? It's this really neat thing you use to keep yourself from smelling so bad that even skunks turn up their noses at you.
and then to diffuse it somewhat you ask them how that Halitosis is going. | |

Not at all, and NO, it is not the cheap crap either.
So, take s good through shower, with plenty of soap, rinse, dry thoroughand THEN, slap on the, aftershave lotion on the arm pits, instad of that other sticky, gooey crap of deodarant.
And THAT, is what I use, and THAT is what I am going to STICK WITH, PERIOD. | |

You shave your armpits and then put on aftershave lotion?
I avoid using scented products because so many people are sensitive to such products, plus I've been told by reliable sources that I smell good, so I won't try to mask a good thing. | |

As said before, I USE what is RIGHT for ME, and what I am COMFORTABLE with, and NO ONE, not EVEN YOU, can change THAT.
IF, I CHOOSE to use aftershave lation instead of the other, sticky, gooey crap of spray on, or wipe on deoderant then that is what I use,is aftershave lation instead whether YOU like it or NOT, cuz, it is NOT, your decision, to decide what I USE, PERIOD.
OR, can YOU understand THAT?????????
MAYBE NOT.
Either which way, it IS, MY DECISION, and NOT YOURS. Thank you MUCH. | |

*sniff sniff* I think I got a wiff of odour from a nearby post. Could be under someone's wings; Balled Eagle - check your feathers.
Then again, maybe I'm the one who stinks. *whistles innocently* | |

Posted: 7/12/2009 10:48:33 PM | Wow, touchy subject for some.
I've never had the nerve to say anything to anyone except my own kids, and not since adolescence.
I've done time in retail and have done the 'race to the stockroom' with other clerks - last one on the floor has to serve stinkyguy. Some people can make you gag; one couple left an almost visible trail behind them that lingered. We opened doors and sprayed the showroom with air freshener. A lot of air freshener. Did a little speculating about their home and future children...
Wouldn't say anything to a customer, probably would let a friend know if they needed to try a different, stronger brand of product. Might try 'what is that new laundry soap you're using- doesn't seem to be working for ya' or something like that - depending on their personality of course. | |

Posted: 7/12/2009 10:56:38 PM | wow.. I agree with the above posters! DTC seems to have an issue with his body odor.. well, that is his problem. Maybe getting your elbow off of caps lock will take some stress away from you before you post, dear DTC
I avoid using scented products because so many people are sensitive to such products, plus I've been told by reliable sources that I smell good, so I won't try to mask a good thing.
I think the natural clean scent of a man a big turn on, no need to mask it with potent sprays, etc.
Yes, if a co worker was causing problems in my office I would definitely bring it to their attention without hesitation. I know some people find it very difficult to stop the perspiration, but their are products out there that are very useful. Even a doctor can help you out with this.
*** I just love the smell of fresh, clean air ***** | |

Posted: 7/14/2009 2:32:06 AM | I just don't understand one thing.. How they don't feel that they stinks????
when I was younger, in my country they didn't figure out those deodorants.. and although I took a shower always, I FELT that I stink! and I tried out everything, to get rid of it..
I can't believe that those people just dont know, that they stinks!
They don't have nose, no doubt.
And the other terrible thing, if somebody speaks to you, or want to kiss you, and his/her mouth is stinky..   
I can run out from the world from this..
Sorry about my english. :)
But don't worry friends, I'm here in Canada since 9 months.. and I met only one person till now, who was stinky.. In Hungary, where I came from, I met them everyday, everywhere.
Compare to Hungary, Canada smells like flower.  | |

I always make sure I smell pretty! Lots of people think they smell pretty. And they smell pretty (bad) to other people.
Awww, J in SD* apparently doesn't like my scented deodorant.
Since writing that a year ago, I will update that statement. Some of the organizations that I volunteer
for have a strict "no-scent" policy for volunteers which includes body sprays, lotions, perfumes. I
support this as I know lots of people that have allergies to scents. This policy makes sense out of no
scents.
I agree there are some who wear too much scent but the OP was referring to those who had offensive
body odor and looking for suggestions on how to tell them. | |

Sheesh, DTC, did you think someone was trying to persuade you to do something that you don't want to do?
Please do whatever you like, for it makes no difference to me.
I second that. People can stink or smell however they want to IMO. I am not about to teach the world how to smell. The best strategy may be just to avoid coworkers who smell.
I have this coworker who eats this casserole of stinky health food . . . a little bit of this and I little bit of that . . . actually, makes me feel like throwing-up. It is absolutely repulsive. Eating near him can make me gag so I avoid it. I cannot say your health food looks like vomit so I moveaway. I think it is the same with people with body odour . . . move away. | |

Posted: 7/14/2009 11:04:43 PM | I think it is the same with people with body odour . . . move away. Sometimes easier said than done. I manage an office with 10 girls and 4 guys and if one of our team is stinkin up the office it is my job to be sure that the rest of my crew works in an odor free, fresh air environment, so ingnoring the smell is not an option. I have to address the issue so the rest of my staff can enjoy their lunch room/ office area in a healthy/stink free environment. So this means telling the "stinkor" to obstain from his stinky habits while in our building. It is very difficult to do and I am sure it hurts his feelings, but I have no choice. I have 13 other staff members who have to work in the same air space as "mr smelly", so it must be dealt with. Oh geesh, I wish I could just tell the rest of my staff to just avoid him, but if I did that I would not be a good manager. I presume you will agree with me. If you have any other great ideas to solve this problem for me... hey, my ears are always opened and I have a very opened minded nature. 
Do what my co-workers did when we had a smelly person working there.....spray some air freshener when he leaves the room and don't say anything to him. ^^ and I have to ask.... how on earth did that solve the problem??? The smelly person must be told that his odor is affecting his co workers in a negative way.... right?
The best strategy may be just to avoid coworkers who smell.
^^^ you are just kidding, right??? I always admired your inteligent input into the forums, but this comment disappointed me... are you loosing your touch, Xavery???

Posted: 7/16/2009 9:02:09 PM | I put up with offensive odor coming from a certain friend everytime I see him. It's easy really...I say in a very sweet tone 'rock..holy f*ck dude you stink!!' "
Some days I'm lucky and he will leave, others I have to hold a towel sprayed with febreeze over my face....his company is worth putting up with his stench though | |
