Today, and pretty much every day, my co-worker takes off her shoes while working. The smell of her feet makes me dizzy. I don't know if she's oblivious to the fact that her feet stink, or she just doesn't care. It's affecting the quality of my work. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I spent most of the day with my stinkiest co-worker's soggy shoes level with my face. FML
Today, my new office mate offered to let me smell her deodorant. This was after clipping her nails, before pulling out her needle point project, and while complaining how overworked she is. FML
Today, like every day she works, my roommate once again put on a ton on perfume before work because she doesn't shower. She's gone, but this smell will be here for hours. FML
Today, after 7 hours on my feet at work, my boyfriend picked me up. Relieved, I took off my shoes. Suddenly, he looked up and sniffed, asking, "Is that your feet?" I'd forgotten to put on socks in my rush to work. He made me put my shoes back on and sit in the back, windows open. FML
Today, I was in class and I smelled what I thought was month-old trash coming from a student in front of me. I politely ignored the smell, only to realize a few hours later that the persistent smell wasn't coming from every student in my university, but was from my shoes. FML
Today, when my roommate asked me what was wrong, I told him that something I ate was making me feel sick. He works 10+ hours a day, and I didn't have the heart to tell him that the putrid smell of his feet was making me nauseous. FML
Today, while on lunch break, my fat, old co-worker walked into the break-room. I managed to block out his perverted heavy breathing, but had to leave when he began emitting a terrible odor that smelled like cheesy, sweaty molding feet. I barely held onto my lunch. FML
Today, I opened my front door to be greeted by what I can only describe as the stink of death. After moving furniture and lifting floorboards, frantically searching for whatever had died, I finally discovered the actual source of the stench - my girlfriend's feet. FML
Today, despite using deodorant religiously and showering twice a day, my roommate still smells so bad that every time she enters the room I become physically sick. FML
Today, I realized that my flatmate showers so little that the furniture she uses smells like BO. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Surreptitiously spray her feet with fragrant disinfectant every time you walk past her. Soon she'll be smelling like Spring Flowers and Ocean Spray, and people will be begging her to walk around barefoot.

You should talk to her about it.

then say something? seriously that's gross and it irritates me that people don't speak up when people are forgetting their manners.

You should definitely talk to her about it. It might be uncomfortable or awkward but at least bring it up. Maybe she doesn't realize how bad her feet smell

You obviously don't know what a good worker is. If you can't handle smelly feet so much that you can't work properly, then you're pretty bad at your job

Most people can't smell their own odours. You should definitely say something to her, but politely so that she knows that her feet have a distracting scent about them. If she won't do anything to rectify the problem, THEN you take it to management etc.

A kid in one of my classes does this. I spray him and the air around him with perfume every day

You should tell her! Maybe she doesnt realize her feet stink.

Time to hang one of those tree fresheners people like to use in their car; make sure to place it as close possible to her.

Tell HR, having no shoes on sometimes is considered a health hazard in some workplaces. Take Febreeze to work and spray her feet as soon as she takes off her shoes. She should get the hint soon enough.

When the paint starts peeling you should probably so something about that
