Body odour and bad breath

All this leads back to hygene in the public today, which is virtually in most places and cases, ZERO, they don't care about their hygene. And whenever I go out I always wear leather gloves whenever I touch anything, and I always wash my hands when possible, and I am still at school and again I wear gloves when walking around school opening doors etc, and again always wash my hands. Some people may say this is obsessive compulsive but other peoples p**s taking doesn't bother me, I jusy know I'm less likely to fall ill than other more dirtier people, and I'm not saying people who don't wear gloves and wash their hands regually are dirty it's just rather unhygenic in my own eyes.

I feel sorry for their wives or husbands assuming they dont share the same love of BO I mean it smells really putrid enough to make your taste buds curl up and die screaming mercy with their cloths on filtering the smell. just imagine what it would be like without yuck.

I can actually go along with that one about women who wear too much perfume. I remember having an interview once and this lady, who was nice enough, was wearing half a bottle of some sickly perfume. I almost couldn't breathe because it was quite a small room anyway. I have quite a sensitive nose at the best of times and I think this person obviously had the exact opposite. Imagine walking through the perfume section in a department store except much worse!

While on the same theme, what about WOMEN who use TO MUCH perfume/deodorant.


You know the type, you walk past and can cut the air with a knife, and can taste it.

Yuck there's simply no need for that, a law should be passed, I was on the train weeks ago and saw this man with hair sprouting out of his ears, he also had a distinct smell of dried up urine and sweat, it costs pennies for a bar of soap, even if you can't afford a can of deodorant please don't make the rest of us suffer your putrid smells, although some people cannot help it I understand (Perhaps due to disabilities and so on) the ones that can there is simply no excuse for it, is it a surprise why you wonder you've got no friends?? Get it sorted.

How about if we weren't supposed to smell, we wouldn't? Somewhere along the evolutionary line this particular piece of physiology has not been dealt with. The reason I suspect is that it ain't that critical.

It's easy to blame our fellow man for being overly whiffy and judge them to be insensitive towards others, because its just easy. That is it is a darned sight easier to blame some smelly sod on The Tube for your discomfort, rather than deal with the bigger picture, over which you have far less control.

The problem is having to use the Tube and work in shoddy, unreasonable and quite frankly inhumane buildings in terms of their achitecture and the environment within them. It's these aspects of modern life that are a big contributor to how people smell. If you did something about this, perhaps finding ways of not using the Tube etc, it would cure the problem of being in the proximity of the antisocial and might even improve your outlook on life?

We used to have a bloke in our office that used to bath about once a week. It was pretty foul in the summer as we had no air conditioning. There's no excuse for not washing.

As the orginal poster I'd just like to say that firstly this : " If you've ever been on the tube on a hot day and had to stand squashed up to half a dozen other people you'll probably have run into type of person I'm talking about " is not my original text, and that secondly, my comments were not directed at any particular race or nationality. Since someone mentioned Pakistanis, Asians are generally cleaner than many other races, including plenty of white people, so this is not a race issue.

I hate people who smells...just like like everyone on here! HA

Interesting gripe which as a person who uses the tube everyday, I often notice. Not sure about the ignorance of the post below especially the choice of words, have'nt you ever heard of a word such as foreigners try using it instead of making yourself look liked a racist pig!
