People who rarely shower or bathe

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.

I shower everyday but my odor does not go away. And I am sick and tired of all those peoples making comments about me saying that I dont shower, and that I am stupid and bla bla bla. I know its some rare medical condition that makes me smell so bad. I've been suffering from it for 2 years and only a while ago I found a lucky website bodyodosupport.com where many people suffer from different rare dissorders that make them smell bad. from them I learned more about the causes of my odor. I heard that excluding foods with a lot of chemistry in them will reduce the odor. right now my diet is mostly salads and fruits. I hope my odor will go away when ill go to school this september. here take a look at this:

I prefer roll-on gels as it takes the sweat longer to penetrate through. Deodorant sprays perform limited use so I avoid them, they are pretty useless really.

@Minesweeper, you meant Bromex Foamer? This a foam you use like soap that's right. They recommed to use it after your daily washing routine, twice a day. You can either get this foam from amazon or at http://sweatrelief.info. Hope it helps you. Jean

Jean, I need some of this stuff, seriously. Where do I get bromex soaper?! Thanks.

Sorry, I can't agree with you here. It might be gross, but in fact there are people who can shower as much as they can, but they'll still have the smell on them. This has nothing to do with hygiene. Permanent body odour is mostly a health issue, the name of this commonly unknown illness is Bromhidrosis. This is caused by special bacterias beeing out of natural balance on the skin. This bacteria divides the sweat and produce airy acids which we know as the "typical the smell of sweat". People who are suffering from bromhidrosis need to reduce their sweating (by antiperpsirants) plus they need to fight the bacterial flora on their skin. Using special washing foams with natural disinfectants like Ripwort and Liquorice Root (for example BromEX Foamer) help in most cases. Deodorants and normal soaps or shower gels do NOT help in any way! Also people should stay away from aggressive disinfectants like Triclosan!

Brilliant. So do you think people actually go to work wanting to be the person that's ostracized and ridiculed. There are people that don't have the highest standards or personal hygiene but others have health issues. Think and get educated before pour out this ignorant rubbish.

As you're fishing for more, "Little Jay" sounds every bit as classy as you. anon imagines you are not as privileged as your airs would suggest to the more gullible. "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog."

I'm sure there are many people who do smell as as a result of not washing but there are also people out there who suffer from odor despite the fact they probably have much better hygiene than you so why not have a little compassion!? Yes, you have to put up with the smell at work but put yourself in his or her shoes, who has to live with this 24/7 knowing that wherever they go, whatever they do, that there will always be somebody like you ready and waiting to humiliate them.

Ah, young love.

And who could say, in these cynical and troubled times, "romance is dead" when such as 'little jay' proffer their idyllic reminiscences of love and lust to entertain those of a sensitive nature?

Having benefited from a sheltered and privileged upbringing, Congo is somewhat intrigued yet obliged to the contributor for some enlightenment as to the sexual predilections of those of less elevated backgrounds.

Try to show a bit more respect; no one wants to read this kind of rubbish.
