davjohns 1 #3 August 3, 2009 MUCH prefer to be told. I'm big on grooming, though. Some people don't think it's as big a deal.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SSHusky 0 #7 August 3, 2009 I deal with some coworkers from another country. For whatever reason they don't believe in brushing their teeth. They smoke and drink coffee all day long. You can smell them when they walk in and all you can do is prevent yourself from gagging. They are of belief that their country is superior to ours so I don't think they would take any suggestions... just like my job. I maybe be bitter...

Nataly 38 #17 August 3, 2009 God, I'd be so embarrassed, but I'd want to know. Don't think I've ever had the courage to tell someone else that they stink.. Usually, when I have to work with someone who has smelly breath I just take a piece of gum for myself and offer them some as well.. It's just a shame that not everyone takes the piece of gum If offered I think it's a good idea to take the breath-mint or gum.. Maybe the person is just being nice, but there's always a chance that they're too embarrassed to tell you your breath reeks!!

skydiver30960 0 #18 August 3, 2009 Any obvious reasons for the smelliness? What was the rest of the patient's presentation? Unkempt appearance? Other indicators of poor socioeconomic status? Or, did they have workout clothes on and might have just come from the gym? There may be a reason they can't shower. OTOH, they may just be fucking clueless and need a wake up call.

wmw999 2,439 #21 August 3, 2009 I did it once. She was grateful that I cared enough to mention it, but well aware of the issue. Turns out that she was violently allergic to some anti-smell stuff, and the rest just didn't work. Hot days were hell. She was saving up for the (elective) surgery to have some of the apocrine glands in her armpits removed.

Elvisio "game time decision" Rodriguez This woman had that sweaty, mildew, BO, cat piss or human piss smell. On top of that she had the 2nd worse ulcers/infection on her legs I have seen. I have seen some infections that were so sever amputation was the only solution. No matter how much I sprayed and cleaned that room I could not get that odar out. I had to call for the cleaning crew to come early. That is how bad it was.

happythoughts 0 #24 August 4, 2009 Quoteand didn't realize how bad you smelled would you want someone to tell you, or would you find that to be rude? You mean, like, if they had social skills? Geez... I get crap all the time from my friends. Too much cologne, home interior stuff, hair style. I'm a work-in-friggin-progress for people. If I smelled bad , it would be an opportunity to abuse me. I wouldn't last a minute. Acceptable place to be smelly? The dz in Florida in August - everyone is sweaty by 9am. Everyone must put out 3 gallons of sweat by 2pm. I can just see one of those CSI guys checking out my suit. From everyone either taking grips or a quick hug on the way by, I'm a walking DNA collection point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
