just go up to them and say in a really offended, hurt and disgusted tone.. "Oh dear God YOU STINK!"

one of two things can happen -

1) They never talk to you or come near you again

2) They become overly self conscious and take care to

smell nice around you :P

win-win situation imo

My predictions for this outcome will be...the guy'll get killed by the spray, but will not kill the odor...

Remember to check your spray if it's deodorant spray or a cockroach spray...

hmmmmm.. Ironically, i think its the other way around. They will be the one to invite you in a corner to gently advise you to have a bad odor and breath, and join the club

There are just too many of them, too much for you to do that yourself. And quite frankly it's like preaching a sermon to the deaf. And sadly, most of them think their scent is f***g normal and very masculine.

We are simply outnumbered.

if it's a stranger, simply keep away.. if it's a friend.. better to discuss this with them.. simple as that.. be frank about it..

BAD ODOR IS THE MOST DISGUSTING THING A PERSON CAN ALLOW!

ITS VERY EASY TO BE AVOIDED ! WHY LET IT GO ON AND ON AND ON???? ITS EVEN SIN TO KEEP YOUR SELF DIRTY!!!!!!

MAYBE PEOPLE ARE JUST NOT USEING THE RIGHT DEO?? SOMETIMES I FEEL THAT THEY JUST WANNA DRIVE OTHERS AWAY FROM THEM. I CAN NEVER BE CLOSE TO ANY ONE WHO MAKE ME HOLD MY BIRTH.

I JUST HATE BAD ODOR!

I GET VERY VERY VERY ANGRAY WHEN PEOLE SMELL!!!!!

WATER IS DIRT CHEAP! IS IT HARD TO TAKE A SHOWER AT LEAST IN THE MORNING? AT NIGHT WHEN YOU GO HOME, ITS UP TO YOU TO STINK UP YOUR BED SHEET BY NOT TAKING A SHOWER BEFOR GOING TO BED. BUT IN THE MORNING PLEASE DO REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE AROUND YOU.

JUST CLEAN UUUUUUUUPP YOUR BODY! ITS GOOD FOR YOU. DO YOUR SELF THIS FAVOR FOR HEAVEN SAKE!

that we dont know, janey... i had another "smelly" experience yesterday,.. i was at Mango shop in Landmark doing some shopping,..when i was paying for the stuff i bought, there was a group of ladies in front of me, and OMG i dont even have words to describe the smell...

I was wondering about this issue right after leaving the office.. I would always smell mexican food and thing is no one has been eating in the office (where the hell could they possibly get mexican food?) and I'm sure no one has heard of burritos, tacos, enchiladas etc. if you were to ask my colleagues.

Where could this awful stench come from? Me thinks it's from my colleagues because every time they'd pass by my desk, ohhh the smell is just so horrid! I'm just guessing... csi

What do you tell them? Is it their body odor or with the food that they eat? Do they even wash themselves everyday?

but wearing clother 2-3 days is Ugggh...as in...EEWWWW

The problem is...the person who wear the same clothes don't smell himself...but the others would do. I'm a smoker and I know that sometimes, my sense of smell and taste is affected by it but my nose would know if a shirt worn by an individual has a sweaty stench.

I don't want to sound rude...but I grew up that once I wore clothes, irregardless how many hours i wore it, it goes straight to the laundry bin when i reach home. It what we call "proper HYGIENE"...

Hello All,

I sent an SMS msg to a close friend of mine. I've known her a life time but never managed to build the guts to tell her.

In the sms I wrote all the positive things about her, her beauty, her family status, her etc .. etc .. then I said that she should stop wearing the polyester/nylon tops that she was in love with. It by default makes people who don't odor odor. Its true but sad. Then I advised her to use the ROC deodorant which is chemical free. And the advising goes on ..

The story goes on.

Once the msg was sent, I got harassed by a million calls trying to figure out who sent the msg.

I thought to myself, would I really want to know who sent me such a msg if it was sent to me? I don't think so. I'd be too embarrassed.

Anyway, good luck telling who ever smells they smell. Its a nightmare living with it.

hehehe .. I feel sorry for them.

Maybe they just don't recognize it that if you know your clothes are getting smelly you have to put it in the laundry and not wear it again until it's newly-cleaned...

in the morning or evening before they sleep. But I notice that they use their clothes 2 - 3 days before they put it to laundry.

Maybe thar's the reason why. They don't stink per se, their clothes have the smell...eeewww :-/

By heero_yuy2• 28 Sep 2008 00:36

...but the idea still seems a little inevident. If it's the food they eat, well, I eat their food and I still ain't got no odor...

just like to make things clear.

bad smell ist just one of the wrost thing can happend to me in the early morning!

and iam realy wondering if people who STINK!!! to the extend that their smell could cover up a WHOLE room, really do not realize that they STINK. Do these people realy need someone to alert them about how STINKY they are??? or they just do not care ???

i am not the type of persone who like to put otherS down or hurt anyone. BUT BAD ODOR IS JUST UNACEPTABLE!!!!!!!

I would have advised you to gift him/her a bottle of deodorant, but i came to know that it didnt work with one of Qlers, so i advise you to start acting vomiting...

and when they ask what happened, just tell them you are allergic with bad smell.
