No sweat

By Anonymous - 23/04/2009 02:44 - Canada

Today, as I was ringing in a customer, I noticed that the Febreeze spray can was wet. Noticing this, I sniffed my hands because they had got wet, and said to the customer, "Oh, the can is leaking… want to go get another one?" He then said, "No it's OK, I just sweat a lot." FML

Actually, the reason why her sweat didn't stink is because she probably has palmar hyperhidrosis. People who sweat that much do not sweat the same sweat that regular people sweat. Basically, since they sweat so much, they sweat something very close to water. That sweat doesn't smell because it doesn't attract the bacteria on our skin that feeds off the sweat making it stink. Cheers ;-)

That is really gross. But I work in customer service so I know first hand that it sucks working a register and having to meet nasty people you check out.

Okay, this is not an FML for you, it's an FML for your customer. They obviously have a condition known as Hyperhydrosis (as mentioned in #19). It causes extensive and uncontrollable sweating and makes social situations often unbearable. There was nothing they could have done to prevent it so they shouldn't be labeled as "disgusting".
