About that…

Today, the district manager visited. Also today, I got called into the office to talk about "personal hygiene". The assistant store manager asked me if I had some kind of medical problem and advised me to shower regularly because my co-workers have been making comments. FML

Personal hygiene is an important priority when you work with and are around other people. Hopefully this was just a terrible joke or something on your coworkers part, then FYL. If not then YDI for not keeping your personal hygiene up to work standards.

To be honest, I've known guys that can smell like fruit when they get to work and minutes later start sweating and smelling bad. It could be a genetics problem, food consumption, OR hygiene, but there's no way to know if it is ACTUALLY the OPs fault or a legitimate, non diagnosed medical problem.

Haha I thought the same thing. FYI, the French "douche" means "shower"

Are you a female? I've had past coworkers get petty, and try to complain about the body odour of any chick that they don't like if there isn't any actual legitimate reason for complaint.

This might sound a bit generalising (because it is) but do you happen to have Asperger's Syndrome or ASD by any chance? It's just that something that some people with ASD are typically written as struggling with is personal hygiene due to not realising why it is important etc.

Um, quit being a dirty dumpster human. Bathe daily, wear deodorant and brush & floss. Human adulting 101

What level of adulting do you learn not to make assumptions and be judgmental on? Cause you might wanna skip to that one.

This made me paranoid enough to wear extra deodorant to work this morning.

How hard can it be to take a shower or bath, & wear clean clothes? I lived in a home with no running water for years, yet I never had anyone complain I was smelly.

My hubs works with a woman that stinks and he can't tell her that she stinks because of some sexist code. The woman's husband dresses really nice but her smelling is messed up. It literally makes my husband vomit.
