Most homes in the UK have hot and cold running water so there is no excuse for coming into work smelling of body odour (B.O.).  There is nothing worse than sitting at a desk opposite the office smelly.  I mean how difficult can it be to have a shower in the morning?

Practically every company up and down the country has one or more of these individuals.  We have now come to dread the warm summer months, as this is when the foul stench from their unwashed bodies is at it’s most pungent.  A combination of a stuffy room with no air con and the stale, sweaty body smell getting wafted around by a dozen desktop fans isn’t very pleasant.  It’s at times like these you would happily exchange mister stinky for bad breath Bob from sales in a heartbeat, because at least he doesn’t start to smell worse as the day drags on.

People who do not take a shower, poor hygene, body odour

I really cannot understand how some people can have such a low standard of cleanliness.  I’m sure everyone has had one of those days where you have gone off to work, but forgotten to spray on some deodorant.  At least you had a bath or a shower first though so it isn’t a big problem. The office smelly on the other hand, doesn’t know what a can of antiperspirant is and since he or she probably hasn’t bathed in weeks, nothing they spray on is every likely to produce the lynx effect.

body odour (B.O.): malodorousness resulting from a failure to bathe

Personally, I think it should be company policy to hose them down in the car park at least every other day.  Maybe then the plants will get a chance to recover.

"No I think that is a clever but probably unintentional play on words"

It can't really be 'clever' if it's uninentional, but it's certainly amusing and apt.

"I worked with a woman .........and the smell from a certain part of her person(Virginal area) was terrible "

No I think that is a clever but probably unintentional play on words, as the woman's fanny is so fishy she probably is still a virgin.

No mikeP, that is a small inconsequential spelling error. Your above statement suitably illustrates your intrinsic pettiness !

Carole Heath, never mind the shower gel for 17p and deodorant for 50p at lidl, from tomorrow at lidl, the German brewed Graffenwald 5.2% 500ml cans of lager are down to 50p each, yippee!

Some of the comments on this site regarding people who have experienced others who have bad hygiene is horrible, yes some people do sweat more than others I agree but there isn't any need for people not keep themselves clean. I go shopping at Lidl and you can buy a bottle of shower gel for 17p and a deodorant for about 50p. Some people do not wash or bathe enough and change their clothes regularly. I worked with a woman years ago in an office and the smell from a certain part of her person(Virginal area) was terrible and she had to be told about how offensive it was to her fellow office workers, she said she hadn't noticed it and besides she couldn't get into the bathroom at times due to her husband hogging it all the time. I can't beleive she never noticed the smell not to be rude or unkind it she smelt like a fish market

There is a 50 year old scotsman at my place of work who thinks that a bit of water on his face every day is as good as a shower,

The shower room is also the changing room, every one else has a five minute hot shower, not him though, even on a friday night, washes his face, then out clubbing,

Then his free six mile lift to work retired, he lived near me and was sat at the end of my drive the next day, I had to go to work and back with the windows of my car right down,

But half of the journey used 70mph roads, and he shut his passenger door electric window with the button on his door panel,

That was until I pushed a sharp screwdriver into his button, and wiggled it about a bit till the button didn't work,

The look on his face the next day at 70mph was priceless, smelly dirty b@stard, I am on a different shift system now and don't have this stink in the car.

Nothing worse than working with a stinky colleague. I worked with a lady who was bbw although she bath and changed her clothing regularly, because of her weight she sweated and stanked the office. She was a women who always wanted cuddles, unfortunately I had to put up with her body odour when the cuddles took place. Apart from that she is a friendly person and gets on with everyone.
Anybody worked with anyone similar in their workplace please pass on your comments.

I work with a woman who never bathes or wears deodorant. She thinks that if she puts on a woolen top or dress that she doesn't smell. Amazing. Half of it is because she is always late out of bed, although she claims it is "late trains". She is so loud and obnoxious and always poking her nose into other peoples business when she would be better off sticking her nose in her armpit and discovering what ever one else has to put up with. It is a form of chemical warfare How do management not see this unkempt hair and odour are a direct reflection on the quality of her work, or lack of.

Personally, I was married to a man who would not bathe regularly. He did wear the clean clothes that I washed for him though and he would wear deodarant to mask his odor. He actually didn't understand why he was not invited to the annual Christmas party.

Eventually, after trying to get him to bathe year after year, I lost it and finally got out of the realationship. I also let it fly about him being the only one, not getting invited to the annual Chrustmas party. My comment was, " It couldn't be because when you walk by someone that you make their eyes water!"

I really lost it when he bathed to cheat on me and went as far as dying his hair to hide his grey! He would put our nice clean baby on the couch with him and under his stinky arm pits. Looking back on all of this, I chalk it up as abuse and a total disregard to his wife and child.

Oh, did I mention that he hides his whereabouts so he doesn't have to pay child support? Looks like I will have to follow the trail of "stink" to find him!
