Today, I had to endure a long face-to-face conversation with a coworker who had fierce BO. He had his fingers interlaced around the back of his head the whole time. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I’m stuck in a small office with a colleague with one of the worst cases of BO I’ve ever come across. He has already been spoken to about it, and I’m developing a nauseous headache from the stench. FML
Today, I spent most of the day with my stinkiest co-worker's soggy shoes level with my face. FML
Today, I was stuck with a coworker all morning while she had the "front farts." I moved to a different area after lunch, only to have another coworker start talking loudly about her boyfriend's skin tags, and how he likes to have her bite them off. I'm so disgusted but afraid to report it. 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, while at a work meeting, I finally summoned up the courage to share and express my opinions about unprofessionalism in the office. After the meeting, I went to clean up, only to notice in the bathroom mirror that I'd had a booger pasted across my forehead throughout the meeting. FML
Today, my officemate used the telephone beside my desk again. I still can't think of a better way to tell him how awful bad his breath is without the having to do it personally. We've been workmates for a year now and he still hasn't gotten a clue, despite of me covering my nose every time. FML
Today, I said hi to my coworker and she immediately yelled, "Get your gross unwashed hands out of my face!" I wash my hands compulsively and they were nowhere near her face. FML
Today, I went out for lunch with one of my co-workers. After work, I talked to one of my friends about how unpleasant the lunch was with him. My co-worker was standing behind me listening in the whole time. FML
Today, I had to train a new guy whose body odor was killing me. After he'd left, I had to run two industry size fans to blow the stench out of my office. FML
Today, I was at a restaurant waiting for a table. Some lady walked by, smelling like BO and patchouli oil. I attempted to cover my nose with my sweatshirt, but I thumped a small girl in the process. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That sucks, unless the conversation was important I would have excused myself.

I probably would have told the person. In as nice a way as I possibly could. Maybe "dude, you reek, put your arms down or go get deodorant, your choice but damn dude" you know, something suttle like that. :)

I have a small water pistol that I filled with liquid deodorant for this exact reason.

Do it discreetly so you're not labeled the office asshole. I'm sure that others agree that he has bad BO, but I'd still be careful.

Breathe through your mouth? Problem solved (;

Yeah, so he can taste it instead

No matter what you do #6, rancid BO, is rancid BO, specially being in a mosh pit.. Stuck in the middle of two overweight gentlemen with no shirts.. Arms flailing, sweat...-shudders from the memory-

49- worst part is when the get tired and hang off your back. had it happen to me once and i had more of the other guys sweat on me than my own.

I am a mouth breather and you don't "taste" BO or anything, you don't smell or taste anything
Laurenluvz 11
It's not as if you're actually physically able to taste it. You can just feel that you're breathing it in. It just feels gross and disgusting.
KingDead 18
Hahahh, #57. Sorry for your experience. Fat men and sweat from them, during a mosh pit, with everyone's arms up, just reminds me of, 'Meet the Fockers'.. You should know what scene I'm talking about. -Gag-

Actually you do "taste" it. Most of your taste comes from smell, and the rest with your tongue. That's why when you have a cold and can't breathe well, food has considerably less taste to it.

perfect oppurtunity to strike with some deoderant or cologne!
lilhellian 27
For some reason I imagined Op shooting him with paintballs full of deodarant..
DontModMeDammit 10
well if you have paintballs full of deoderant could probably work..
DocBastard 40
Deoderant? Once I could almost excuse, but you did it twice. You realise that it is "de-ODOR-ant", right? Oder isn't a word, unless you're talking about destroying the Oder River.

Thank you for providing the first proper spelling of the word "deodorant" in this entire thread.
OlgaCornmuffin 7
well, technically, #3 spelled it correctly too. :^p. but OP, I'm SURE the co-worker thought his BO would be a SECRET between you two. I'm such a smartass, I would have hung those pine tree taxi fresheners from his elbows.
DontModMeDammit 10
im so sorry for ruining your day, how horrible it must have been to read a word that was slightly miss spelled...and twice at that! the horrors!
Axipiter 24
Who is Miss Spelled? And how slight is she?

Well at least you know what to get him for Christmas this year...

FHL for not being aware of it.
chlorinegreen 27
I can usually tell if I have BO
perdix 31
So, did you address your comments to his face or to one of his pit stains?

You think thats bad a kid at my school smells like legit shit and he thinks he's my friend. He talks to me everyday but being nice I hold my breath and don't say anything about his smell. And the times he doesn't smell like shit he smells like cigarettes or marijuana
hellobobismyname 24
Yeah, I really don't understand people who don't shower.. When I was a waitress, one of our usual customers smelled as if he never showered in his life. It was so bad the entire restaurant filled with stink. The one time he didn't come alone, his friends all stayed as far away as possible from him. It's just rude knowing you're gonna be in public and not having the decency to practice proper hygiene.
KingDead 18
@#12, If you really wanted to be nice, I would inform him.. Everyone ignoring it, just to talk about it behind is back is worse than letting it slide and having him believe nothing is wrong. He shouldn't care what people think, but at least give him the chance to smell better!

I really don´t understand why you just can´t tell him he might want to take a shower. I think you are not being nice at all, talking about him like this and not helping him in becoming a better person, since he seems to need (your) help.
KingDead 18
Exactly #61... The best everyone could do, is be straightforward.. No one likes people who like to tip-toe around things.
olpally 33
Good god. This made me cringe. Idk what you could say to him. Hold your breath and then spray yourself with something fresh like perfume or something.
