Blade73 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 How do you broach a work colleague in this hot spell about how they stink like a rotting corpse and a bath in domestos would be a good idea? It gets on my nerves, I have to get up and move when this 'person' comes near me the smell is atrocious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kthebean Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 You have to approach it in a sensitive and compassionate way. I think shouting POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE every time you go past them should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenia Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 There is no other way than to tell them they stink like a dead otter.

Catherine100 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I used to work with a colleague who was the same. I came into work early one morning and left anonimously a wrapped up present of soap/deodrant etc on his desk. It seemed to do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think these people don't realise or don't care. I feel sorry for the people that have to work next to him, the assault on my nostrils is only in passing thank god! Out of interest you think its more a male trait or equal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfox3x Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Why not bring it up in general conversation at break? Somrehing along the lines of 'Went into a pub last week and this hot weather is making some people REALLY smelly...maybe their mates should have a word with them because I don't think they realise' May make him/her review their personal hygiene.

I think that's too subtle for this person, things go over his head that much he could be a champion limbo dancer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farslad Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 There was a chap who used to work at my place and he proper pen and inked. You could walk down a corridor or get in a lift and tell he had been there, it was that bad. People complained to managers who responded with “I can’t smell anything” He’s left now, probably stinking out some other poor sods workspace. You can get a shower in 5 minutes, its not that hard.

That's about the same as we did to our 6th form teacher back in the day. He came in one morning and everyone had a can of deodorant on their desk. He took it well, and never stunk after that!

Catherine100 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I have found it to be more Male's but I have heard a few friends that have the problem with females so I would say equal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
