Smelly Employee Fuels Hygiene Policy
I wish there was a policy on banning smelly library patrons who come into where I work.
phew!
I wish my university had a policy like that. Maybe they could make an addition to the computer lab policy…that seems to be where the biggest problem is anyway. I also think there should be some sort of policy about what you can put in the campus microwaves–I can’t even count the number of times I’ve walked by one and smelled something strongly resembling raw sewage.
Reminds me of something that I overheard while at a hotel in Bwindi awaiting a trek to see gorillas. The British owner of the guide service was in the next room, speaking to his Ugandan employees and it went something like this: “…and be sure to wash your smelly parts. Guests don’t like to smell your smelly parts and will be offended, so make sure you wash…with soap.”
I used to share a cube with on other employee, he had it at nights, I had it during the day.
He ate at the desk, and left bits of food, not just crumbs, big hunks of food, on the floor, sort of near the garbage can. The chair we shared smelled like BO and dead fish. The desk had flies. It was [b[bad**.
A friend of mine went to Tanzania with the Peace Corps, and had one of those classic encounters with a people group so uneducated that you just can’t relate.
People were washing with soap because the rich, smart, cool Americans did it, but honestly thought that the soap was the point, and didn’t rinse it off.
Mtgman beat you to it.
