I just got back from lunch what a horrible eating experience I had. I was just got my food at one of pharmacy grills(you know where they have the good greasy hamburgers…I know I will regret eating it later). Anyway, this lady sits down at the booth beside me and instantly I smell that nasty sweat oder followed by bo. YUCK. I moved two seats down and I still smelled it. Needless to say I didn’t enjoy my greasy hamburger.
What is it with people not being clean. There is this dude that goes to the gym I go to to. I swear this guy must never take a bath. He leaves a station but he really doesn’t because his odor is still there. Yuck! People even have a name for him “Smelly Rick”. That is pathetic why doesn’t he just take a bath at least once a week.
I am sorry but smelly people really bother me. They are nasty nasty people.
Do y’all know what I am talking about? Is there somebody that you run into regularly that are “smelly”? Is it wrong to tell people they are “smelly”
Has it ever occured to you that some of these people can’t help but smell because they sweat? They can shower 10 times a day, but once they are active again, sweat is gonna start rolling off them, and the smell will emit.
And that dude at the gym? What the fuck? IT’S A GYM! People sweat! What, you expect them to smell good? Anyone who puts purfume or cologne on at the gym has an ulterior motive for being at the gym.
Lighten the fuck up. It’s hotter than shit right now. People get sticky and smelly as a result.
Has it ever occured to you that some people are just greasy bastards and need to shower more often? A daily shower and a good helping of deodorant will curb 98% of these peoples stink.
Yes, I know that there are exceptions – some people have construction jobs, have glanduar problems, etc. But there are an assload of people who are just plain nasty non-showering stink factories.
I never liked that smelly nasty little french man. Now I know why. And I assume he was talking about a woman eeehhh he was weird. Good thing he didn’t take over the world there would be alot more “smelly” people.
I admit it’s not pleasant. There are, though folks who cannot help the odor. There are others who are unclean because of a mental illness (there was a guy who stayed at the Y who stank so badly that you’d know it if he’d been on the elevator an hour before - when he died, they discovered he was a millionaire)
I’ve also worked with individuals who attempted to cut corners on their budget by using baking soda as toothpaste, and washed their clothes without detergent, (ditto bodies, hair). It took me a month before I knew the man had blonde hair.
Sweat byitself is odorless. It is the bacteria on your skin eating the sweat that makes the stench. A little Antibacterial soap goes a long way. You can tell by looking at someone that they don’t bath, you know greasy hair, huge flakes of dandruf, long dirty finger nails. If a person like this sits next to me a say flat out “take a f-cking bath” Some people need a special invation ya know. As for people at the gym. After you work out take a f-cking bath. These people think that they are producing phermones to attract the ladies. Ya right.
I am VERY sensitive to bad odors…people who don’t bathe get on my nerves. Or the ones with HORRIBLE breath who get into your face.
Or people who DO bathe, but don’t wash their clothes and wear them when they’re REALLY dirty and smelly. I get very sick from smelling this stuff. I have almost gagged.
I am short (5’1") and while in London, I am just about armpit-high to most Indians and other transplanted Euros.
Oh dear Lord, 10 minutes in the flea market and I didn’t need to get my hair permed- it curled up all on it’s own! Fuckin’ gross, sorry to anyone of the smelly persuasion.
Boy I never thought of that disadvantage about being short. I would get high if I were you. Now you are talking about a different odor in reference to India and surrounding countries. People that like India food have a smell all of their own. They eat so much curry(sp) they put out a odd odor. My dad married a pakistani chick she is nice and everything but she does smell weird sometimes. And their house always smells weird.
… And people in America and surrounding countries have a smell all THEIR own. They are so horrified at the thought of smelling human that they douse themselves in cheap perfume, body wash, and aftershave, which destroys their honest natural fragrance and causes them to emit a very odd odor indeed. They’re nice and everything when they’re not being insular and chauvinistic, but they do smell weird sometimes. And their houses always smell like lemon detergent and those godawful air freshener sticks. Some of 'em even use wildflower-scented garbage bags. Ugh.
Transplanted Euros? Sheesh. Talk about a bad choice of words.
My guess is you’re a transplanted American, somewhere down the line. Bear in mind that Indians and Pakistani have lived in the UK for more than a 100 years, and that a lot of them are of the British nationality.
I know a smelly person…and it ain’t fun. I work in the construction business and this guy shows up every morning reeking of b.o, I can literally smell him from 20 feet away. It’s not like he’s all smelly from working, because he shows up like that. He actually starts to smell better half way thru the day when it really starts to get hot and sweaty, so go figure. So don’t tell me they just smell like that or they have glandular problems …TAKE A FUCKER SHOWER ASSHOLE!!!

For a great novel about smells, particularly the stink of France around the time of the revolution, check out the book ‘Perfume’ by Patrick Suskind. It’s a hoot (and it inspired the Nirvana song ‘Scentless Apprentice’)

Bill - The smell of curry is a homey one to me as it seems that I spent half my childhood with my best friend who was East Indian… there is just no such thing as too much curry.
Those people who slather on enough cologne or perfume to choke a horse make me wonder if they do that because they reek without it… either way, they make me gag.
