Today, despite hints, suggestions, and even blatant criticism, my coworker refuses to believe he smells like rotten donkey nuts. He says he only needs to shower once a week, and that he doesn't believe in deodorant. I volunteered to do an extra autopsy today because the morgue smells better. FML

Fortunately since we are pathologists, we don't really have any direct patient contact. However we do have many surgeons coming down to the surgical pathology lab, not to mention the poor laboratory technologists who have to work around this guy ...

I don't understand people like this at all, hopefully he gets the hint eventually when he realises that a morgue literally smells better than he does

At the risk of receiving downvotes, too much showering also has it's downsides. Being overly hygienic deprives your body of the chance to develop an immune system. That's also why there is really no need to keep your house close to cleanroom levels of cleanliness when you have kids.

That's when you bring in a skunk and say that the skunks smell smells better than him.

How do one know what rotten donkey nuts smell like. More importantly why would they wanna find out.

Obviously I've posted my question before him. But never mind

I guess he has some mental disorder. That's not normal. Good luck dealing with him OP.

You know it's bad when a morgue smells better than you.

Maybe be more blunt and hand them the roll and be like 'you should really use this' if they go on about they dnt need it say ' you stink, you it' hope your smell betters soon

That must be saying something because although I haven't been in a morgue, I've been to a medical school on a visit and smelled cadavers. Those stink so I can't imagine how bad the morgue must be.

I've been to a pathological museum with my school. Next deformed fetuses or deseased toddlers with rachitis swimming in formaldehyde, there was the stuffed body of a five year old with some rare skin disease. That thing must've been a couple hundred years old and the smell was still so vile that half my class barfed into the garbage cans outside the museum. I wonder how OPs colleague would do in comparison.

I assume you tried odor perception inhibitors?
