How do you tell someone that they smell?

[ssampier]

Maybe it's his cologne that's causing the smell?

Do you have anything with Essence of Dragon? I mean, if I'm going to reek, I'd at least like to feel cool doing it.

Not to make light of your medical problems DerHauptman, but what you described sounds almost exactly like what happened in the episode of "House" that I watched last night. The guy had an infected jaw. It happened when he broke it months earlier. The only way that they figured it out was because he was using a lot of Tic Tacs and had really bad breath. It was strange. I even told my wife how the exact same thing happened to a guy in the thread that I had started about my friend smelling.

When was the episode?

Perhaps I should see if they have that "any resemblance to persons real or imagined is coincidental" clause in their legal blurb - I never ate any tic-tacs but for enough money I'd swear I did....

Ironic Indeed..

I should write for TV huh?

The episode was called "Love Hurts". The guy with the broken jaw was also a sadist that liked being strangled by a dominatrix so I don't know how close to home that hits!

Here's a link to the episode on the Internet Movie Database

Some people would get the air freshener - we had a bottle of air freshener, and I'd spray it around the store (not at them, but where they'd been) while they were still in there. I always thought this was kind of rude, but then, they were bringing in their stink, which is more rude. But it also is a good indication that you stink. The problem was that the ones who didn't realize they stank weren't going to catch something like that.

I worked at the truck gate of the local Kmapart DC for about a year. We kept some seriously strong air freshener out there. Some of those people (not just males) were criminally unwashed!

One guy stepped out of the over-the-road version of a garbage house. It was that deep inside. The funk was unbelievable. Despite it being cold, I ran out the opposite door, as I didn't have to check him in, the other guy did. The man's clothing was filthy. He wore no shoes and had open sores all over his body.

The moment he left, the guy who checked him in ran out, dry heaving. We opened both doors to the place got out of the line of the wind and I stood there spraying the air freshener for something like 20+ seconds straight. Then once it was ruled "habitable" again, I went through with the Lysol and seriously hosed down (to 'wet and running with lysol' status) everything he'd even come close to being near.

Then there was the Hillbilly. A young red headed guy who was literally dirty from head to toe. Smelled like....I have no idea. It was bad. His front teeth all looked like they'd snapped off at the root.

Some people, I'd spray the air freshener the moment they got out of sight. Some, the moment they started moving away.

I once asked my boss if it would be a problem if I started spraying people directly.


After the open sores guy, we declared that anyone looking and smelling like that would be prevented from entering the truck gate. We got management support of that too!

Sir, stay outside. Stand down wind. Do not enter this office or the front office, or you will be permanently banned from Kmapart property....
