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.

Hi, my name is Rachel. I have a "gripe." There is this kid at my school and he smells really bad. We're talking wiping butt with underwear bad. He washes his hair at most, once a week and makes it spike up with his own grease. He literally picks his nose and wipes in on his jeans and then tries to get people to sit on his lap. He rarely brushes his teeth if he even does. His teeth are a centimenter apart each and I swear there are living things on them. I'm afraid he will smile at me one day and something will jump out and attack me. And let's not even go to his underarm body odor. His hair under his arms and always matted down with sweat and it has actual chunks of stuff in it. He seriously needs to be "force fed" a shower, and the people who do it will have to wear a full body suit. GET THIS KID SOME DEODORANT!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi this is emma here,anyways their is a smell of me. No matter how much I bath or shower there is a smell. I've had a bladder test,cioscopy,given urine samples and loads of blood tests.
When I got on a bus people would cough at me under there breath and would stare at me. Anyways I don't get on a bus now thanks to people like that. I got to the stage were I needed councelling because I was suicidal. Now I'm ok thank god cause I have nice family and good friends. I just think people need to be more respectful, they don't know if someone has a medical condition or summit.

Medical Student -

You wrote - People need to stop being so petty and be respectful and tell the person.

You are quite correct and the person may have a medical condition.

If at the work place there is someone with bad odour, it is the responsibility of that person's boss/line manager to approach them in a professional manner a view of providing advice on how this can be rectified.

This is what being a manager is all about and this is what he/she gets paid for. It is not the responsibility of the shop floor staff to approach the individual.

If it is a strong unbearable odor its probable a medical condition. People need to stop being so petty and be respectful and tell the person. Most people are clean you may be saving the person life if you say something. Educate yourself on causes of body odor before you talk about some one else!!!!!

This person I know really stinks, like majorly!!!

She can stink out a room in less than 5 seconds and it stays like that for hours afterwards!!!

I even had to do my work outside because she stank out my entire house!!!

Someone should give her a bar of soap!!!

We've tried to tell her but she thinks its a joke, what should we do???

Some people may have odors because of medical conditions. If you smell someone, try telling them about it, because it probably isn't going to get better if you don't.
