[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 1438642, member: 2629"] Some advice: Next time he comes around, say "What is that smell?" Then take a few whiffs around in random directions followed by a final whiff in his direction. When you take that final whiff, jerk back slightly, bug your eyes out just a bit and crinkle your nose a little. Don't overact, make it a bit subtle. Immediately say, "Oh, I'm sorry." Then look embarassed and excuse yourself. The trick is to make it look like you were not trying to be hostile. It should look like you were embarassed by what occurred. I've used this trick about a dozen times when I've been forced into social situations with people I either don't like or that creep me out. So far, every single time I tried it, the person has made an effort to stay away from me for the rest of the day. In most of those cases, that person has begun to avoid me out of embarassment when we run into each other in the future as well. [/QUOTE]
