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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

Give him deodorant in a gift bag and put it on his desk

a small bladder is a good excuse to escape any conversation! im sorry OP its hard to be in that kinda situation with a coworker

I feel your pain OP, I have the same situation at work and have no idea how to approach it. Everyone says talk to them but even then it seems uncomfortable to just come out and say it especially if you're not close. Maybe talk to management and have them put out a generic reminder to the whole work team.

Learn to speak up. He'd probably appreciate being told

I agree. Besides I value my personal space, and face to face (or pit) is too close to be smelling BO from my equal. (:

I thought only middle schoolers didn't know how to use deodorant...

Try using Vapo rub (on your own nose) when you have to go meet him if the gift of deodorant fails... If he doesn't take a hint, you can barf on him when he's around the next time.. I thought initially of farting.. but why fart and waste it when you can burp and taste it?

Leave a note but don't say who it's from, telling them about it. If they don't take the hint pull them aside and politely tell them. That's just gross!

I would have told home something about it

He was gently wafting his pheromones your way, hoping for a primal response from you- probably not gagging though gagging might have been involved... Was there a can of chocolate syrup on his desk in easy reach?
