Phew you stink!

I used to work with a girl that reeked I told the manager to tell her It worked tho'

I don't mind the smell of fresh sweat, but "dry" sweat (What I consider B.O.) is awful.

I hate BO...


It's not big or clever....wash ya pits!!

I dont have bo but that has made me think i will go have a nice bubble bath

I nearly fainted in a meeting once, because I was sitting next to a colleague with BO.
I got the HR department to sort it out, and let them tactfully tell him and his team they were a bunch of stinkers

Not long ago I had a talk with my son about BO. He's getting more sporty and less hygienic. He's only 9 too

I started giving my son deodorant about 2 yrs ago, the minute I smelled sweat I bought him his own can. He's 9 too.

Yep I gave him some too. Also reminded him he has to wash first though

I think he's starting to show interest in the girlies too so he won't want to be smelly

I used to work with someone who had BO and they had awful bad breath,I would be to embarrassed to say anything as I could not hurt their feelings, I could understand were Karly was coming from when she was saying the same thing about Marcus in the diaryroom its not very nice.

Yes...deffo wash first.

Mine refuses to admit he likes girls....but yet seems to have a spring in his step when he passes certain ones in school (think he forgets I can see him there).

This reminds me of being in the front of a Landrover sandwiched between two blokes, none of us had any idea who stank the most but it was baaad!

The girls on the other hand have no shame. Wolf whistle at the boys and everything

*sniffs pits*

I work in a hospital, thankfully my office is very airy and cool but some parts of the hospital are sweltering and in those areas you encounter some eye watering B.O. - ‘tis not good

I can't smell, so no i wouldn't tell anyone

Probably

I have a real big prob with this ..lol
others stinking ....I mean

I worked in a very bloke environment and it was just a tiny few who had really awful BO ...
btw
If they didnt get the hint by us all telling them they stunk rotten ,
we would douse them with a jet washer ..lol

Most guys nowadays will wear roll on deodorants and sprays ,
its just the neanderthal throwbacks who think its macho to reek of sweaty cheese and think women find it attractive ..lol

so come on ladies ...
If you saw a guy in a bar and when you go closer he had BO would you still fancy him ..???

I can't stand smelly blokes. He could look like Johnny Depp's better-looking brother, but if his pits stank, forget it.

I'm lucky enough not to have smelly friends But I wouldn't tell a stranger they stink...they and there stink will be gone quick enough

A couple of years ago I brought my niece to the park and brought her into the shop for sweets afterwards...there was an old woman standing in front of us in the queue who REEKED!!!! My niece said loud as you like...'Lor...what is that smell??!' I said 'shhhh'....she was like 'noooo Lor...it's DISGUSTING it smells like pee-pees'

Euugghhhh yes I agree.

nope, sweat isn't so much of a bad smell on a man, but BO is quite different!

i wouldn't exactly like a sweaty man chatting me up though i'd like to say...esp if he has wet patches on his shirt

Yikes Veggie.....yuk, yuk, yuk....cheesy!

We give someone a lift to work each morning, and he stinks the car out. We don't know what to do. We are too cowardly to tell him. We are doomed.

Was it you that had this problem on the old forum Fabienne?
I remember someone did and the replies were very funny - if not actually very helpful

No, Veggie, that was somebody else. You'd think I would have learned something from that thread, wouldn't you? But no, I never thought it would happen to me.

Temps

Ooh it's all coming back to me now. She smelt like she had 'had a good night' would be a polite way to put it

Fabienne, I don't know what to suggest as I'd guess that your lift doesn't smell of the same thing

I used to work for a Paint Factory, i did alot of work in the small cubicle Offices on the shop floor..there was a Guy who stunk to high heaven....

...he would cycle to work, change into his overalls (never had a quick wash though the facilities were there) and do that week in week out in the same clothes, just transferring the smell to his overalls, which, at the end of each day he would hang on a hook and NEVER take them home & wash them....it was bogging!!!

We tried the sending him gift packs of Lynx & soap through the post (anonymously), and every Christmas we'd get him smellies for his Secret Santa etc.....

In the end we had to tell him!!! This was ground in DIRT and months & months worth of stale sweat....never changed a thing.....I bet he still stinks to this day!!

I can deal with a Man doing a manual job and being abit sweaty when they get home before they have a shower BUT not being un-hygenic....Urgh!!! xxx

Make a point of opening all the windows every time he gets in, and spraying air freshener around.

No, our passenger is a combination of horrible odours, ranging from unwashed clothes, stale tobacco and alcohol, to body odour, etc. It's worse when he's been standing in the rain for a while. It seems to intensify the stench.

My ex MIL was a dirty besom

My children made up a song about her, to the tune of "Mary, Mary, quite contrary"

Granny Mary, fat and hairy
Why do you have B.O.?
You really smell
And we can tell
You washed a long time ago-o-o
You washed a long time ago

Soap dodgers, eurgh!

Oh, good idea, Demantoid. Maybe I'll try that Febreze stuff.
