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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, as the only female manager, I had to talk to a worker about her hygiene. I asked if she had the means and a place to shower. She rolled her eyes and said of course she did, but found daily bathing unnecessary, and that a couple times a month does her just fine. The whole staff would disagree. 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 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, my co-worker handed me a note. The note said, "If you can, please take a shower once in a while." The smell was coming from the broken bathroom next to my office. FML
Today, I was loudly asked if I'd rubbed poop all over myself this morning. I shower three times a day, brush my teeth for 10 minutes twice a day, and wear copious amounts of antiperspirant. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. I thought I was getting promoted because my sales had been really high lately. My boss shut his door behind me and asked me if I could comb his hair with a lice comb to get rid of his lice. I had to do it to keep my job. FML
Today, my boss drove past me while I was walking to work, and splashing mud over my uniform. When I got to work, he criticized me for showing up in unpresentable condition. FML
Today, multiple customers have complained about my body odor. Not only can I not smell anything, but I shower three times a day and brush my teeth seven times a day. FML
Today, I went to work at my new job after taking a shower but I'd forgotten to put on deodorant. I started getting strange looks and wondered why, only to find out later that everyone was talking about me, including someone I have a crush on. FML
Today, my boss recognized my shoes under the stall wall and had a conversation with me while we were both taking a dump. I had severe diarrhea. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

Not sure why you're getting so heavily downvoted. The comment is both a reference to an earlier FML and a solution to the problem (You can claim that was the smell).

Despite the down votes I thought this was funny since it referenced a previous FML.

Literally the same thing happened to me at my old job, and I'm very clean and stuff. And I never get a complaint at my new job.

Personal hygiene is important for more reasons than just being around people. Its unhealthy to have a lack of good hygiene.

If you do shower regularly then i suggest maybe getting a stronger deodorant.
