He would follow us all the way to our car sometimes, despite us constantly dropping pointed hints like "Oh, don't you have class soon? It's a long walk... maybe you should go?" He is really sweaty and wears a sweaty necktowel, and he demands tight sweaty hugs from all the girls.

    A few days ago, I got onto campus an hour early, so I sat down at one of the tables in the library near the reading room and tried to get through a few acts of this Shakespeare play I'm reading. I accidentally made eye-contact with him as he walked by, so he took that as permission to sit next to me for a HALF HOUR as I silently read Shakespeare, despite the fact that I was like "Oh hey, I have to read this, so you know, I'm gonna be pretty boring, heh heh, can't talk, seeya later." All he said was "HURF HURF THAT'S FINE I'LL JUST STICK AROUND HERE HURFFF...."

    At this point, I really don't feel bad anymore, and I'm about at my ropes end with this guy. My friends say I handle him like an expert ("distant polite kindness") but I'm becoming more and more pointed with him as time goes on. Pretty soon I might snap. No more sweaty hugs. =(
    lol why don't you just tell him what you really think. What's the worst that can happen, him getting all sad and hurt and never wanting to get near you again?

    whenever I'm around smelly people in class or something (which luckily isn't that often) I just take out the Axe deo I usually carry around in my backpack and spray it in their direction. Should take care of the problem.

    I don't get how people can go out in public like that. I have to shower and deodorise before I leave the house. If I can smell something bad coming from my armpit then I feel self-conscious as smurf and lose all confidence. There's a lady at my work who has it and she is a nice person and good to talk to but I am always thinking "OH GOD PLEASE LEAVE " and feel guilty for it.

    Jesus, is it really that hard to shower occasionally? Most people I've known smell pretty decently, but that's probably because I avoid the ones who smell poorly. I knew one guy once who smelled like buckets of sweat, but he was a very, very large young man. We just leaned away from that one.

    I've known a lot of people that don't wash their hair, and that can start smelling after a while. I understand that shampooing can be something that is just done occasionally, but c'mon people, you need to have the hair type for that. Some people have hair that NEEDS to be shampoo'd somewhat regularly, and they do not. It's oily and smells like farts after a while.

    The other day we were going somewhere to get job applications, and my boyfriend and I wanted to take showers first. I mean we were only asking if they were hiring and grabbing applications, so we didn't have to look super nice, but we felt it was important to at least look like we give a . His dad got all impatient and was like "HEY YOU GUYS NEED TO GO DOWN THERE THEY SAID ON THE NEWS YESTERDAY THEY WERE HIRING SO THAT JOB IS PROBABLY ALREADY GONE YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRESS UP YOU KNOW I GO OUT AND DO YARDWORK AND GARDENING EVERY DAY IN THE HEAT AND I GO THREE OR FOUR DAYS WITHOUT SHOWERING."

    And thus the mystery of the weird fish smell in the backroom was solved.

    When I worked at the movie theater, I used to get stuck working with this guy who smelled soo bad, it was like he took a bath in b.o.; just rubbed it all over him good.
    The worst times were when we were alone together in the box office during the late afternoon when the sun would hit the box office directly, then it would just be like a b.o. hotbox.
    I'm surprised I never passed out from it all.
    Omg there was this time when I had him AND this girl who apparently had never met a bar of soap in her life and she kind of smelled like pickles in the box office at the same time.
    Death.

    I take a body shower at least twice a day and usually I wear a vest underneath to soak up sweat when I'm at work. Plus I don't wear the same shirt more than three times before I give it for a wash. Shaving pits is for hygiene purposes.

    Its been more than ten years and I have yet to hear a single complaint and believe me I've asked if I had a B.O problem. I don't so I count my blessings...

    If Pakistan is anything like India it wouldn't surprise me at all if people don't even notice the smell of sweat.

    Harsh but true.

    We've a few smell ole smurfers insured with us. There's really no excuse whatsoever for smelling like balls. a few times you can bathe & deodorise & in a hurry do it wrong & miss a patch but if you're usually clean you're usually the first to notice.

    And Rod...you change your shirt after wearing it 3 times? I clean mine after wearing it once ya dirty wee git.

    Well there was this one guy in my media class last year and he had rank b.o and bad breath. And one day we were taking photos and he put his arm around one girl. And she said to one of my other classmates (both the girl and this guy are Philippino) "wow he he stinks!" And none of understood and the guy with the really bad b.o said "hey, speak in English". When the class (minus the guy with b.o) found out what was said, we all lol'd for quite a while. Bear in mind this guys a bit of a jerk and really annoying too so nobody felt sorry for him.
    When we dance, it looks just like Fire.

    When we sing, it sounds the same tone.

    I guess... I guess I'll just stop hanging out with you. I didn't know you felt that way.

    You can take your sweaty neck towel with you!

    EDIT:

    @ Paul: I totally understand that fear of having BO, even despite showering and using deodorant in the mornings and such. XD I carry an extra deodorant with me in my handbag just in case.

    You'll be happy to know that you always smelled clean and good all the times we hung out in Lex. But I know that was because you especially dolled up for yours truly, Fun Size.

    Ever been in a room full of really geeky programmers and gaming nerds? The smell is horrendous. I'd rather hang out with the artists where we actually keep ourselves healthy and manage a shower each day.

    Now this is a major generalisation, chances are I've had really bad luck with the people I've had to work and study with.

    I was trying to implant my scent on it for you... so you could remember me by it. I once loved you and now all I have left is a broken heart and a soiled towel that reeks of disappointment.

    Please, if you won't take my heart, at least take the towel. And... use it, and take pictures, for me. Please. I need this.
