Today, my grandmother told me my favorite top had a permanent smell of BO, despite my constant deodorant use. I wear the top to work just about every shift. I now realize all the weird little comments my coworkers have made are actually hints to go take a shower. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that before my grandma washes my clothes, she smells my underwear to "make sure they're dirty." FML
Today, my grandmother sat me down and gave me a talk about the importance of personal hygiene. According to her, it's important that I shower twice a day, because, "Fat people tend to have a most curious smell about them." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me I smell like his grandma's house. FML
Today, I found out I’m the “smelly girl” in the office. Now I understand all those passive-aggressive subtle comments about hygiene and showering made by my coworkers, and why a bottle of Dial body wash randomly appeared on my desk one day. FML
Today, while at work, I was trying to locate the source of the really bad BO wafting around, when I realized I'd forgotten to put on deodorant this morning. I have 5 hours of shame left to go. FML
Today, my mother chewed me out for not wearing deodorant and smelling of B.O. I was wearing plenty of deodorant. My shirt just smelled like my boyfriend, whom I'd been cuddling with earlier. FML
Today, while applying deodorant, my mom came up behind me slapped the stick out of my hand, and confiscated it, saying, “No one needs deodorant when it’s this cold.” At work, I got so many complaints about my B.O that I was sent home to go take a shower. I shower every single day. FML
Today, during my meeting with manager, I found out that my coworkers think that I stink. I literally shower every day and use deodorant and perfume. Am I doing something wrong? FML
Today, I was in a rush to get to work and forgot to put on deodorant. I didn't realize until my coworker told me I smelled like a gym sock. FML
Today, I was walking into class when the guy i like walked in and said "Gross it smells like grandma in here. What, did someone bathe in their perfume today?" I was the only girl in the room and I just bought new perfume. I thought I smelled good, apparently I didn't. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Noor and 51, I'm way ahead of you, 18 matching pairs of Jeans and 65 Harley Davidson shirts. The trick is the anachronisms. Oil stains on the jeans and 10 or so slightly different shirts (6 of each pattern) keeps people guessing.

The solution? Don't have a favorite top.

Oh dear, I hate it when something's wrong with you and no one points it out, then you find out some time later and you want the ground to open up and swallow you whole!

Noor, I threw up a little when I read your comment.

A few things to think about: 1) Science > you. In fact, it doesn't give a **** about you. Germs and smells will still accumulate regardless of your strong will for them not to. 2) If you don't wash your body, then rubbing deodorant on yourself is like throwing a cup of water at a five-alarm blaze: it doesn't work. To quote Del tha Funky Homosapien: "Wash yo' ass." 3) I understand not giving a shit about what people have to say, but you essentially draw criticism when you wear the same shirt to work everyday. Even if you *did* shower everyday, your incessant donning of that top will attract negative comments like flies to shit. The end. |the kid|

You wear the same top EVERY shift? No wonder your coworkers are dropping you hints. Change your shirt! Especially if it has a permanent smell of BO.

"I wear the top to work just about every shift." Well there ya go OP. You should probably switch it up a bit cause that's pretty gross :/

Don't know how often the shifts are... they could be just once or twice a week, so OP wears the shirt once a week. That isn't so bad as long as the shirt gets washed.
