Today, my grandmother sat me down and gave me a talk about the importance of personal hygiene. According to her, it's important that I shower twice a day, because, "Fat people tend to have a most curious smell about them." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my grandmother told me my favorite top had a permanent smell of BO, despite my constant deodorant use. I wear the top to work just about every shift. I now realize all the weird little comments my coworkers have made are actually hints to go take a shower. FML
Today, I found out that before my grandma washes my clothes, she smells my underwear to "make sure they're dirty." FML
Today, my grandma and I went shopping. When I picked up some shower gel, she started ranting in front of everyone that shower gel injures one's "lady parts" and causes infertility, and that she wants me to give her great-grandchildren. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me because even though I shower thoroughly twice a day, I still stink. My mom showers once a week, never wears deodorant, and smells like roses. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me I smell like his grandma's house. FML
Today, I had to have a serious talk with my new girlfriend about her terrible hygiene. In the two weeks we’ve been dating, she admitted to only having showered "once or twice." She doesn’t see a problem with this, even though the first (and last) time she came to my place, she smelled like death. 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 grandmother said to me, "You look just like your mother did at your age. Except you're fatter of course." 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, my Axe shampoo, body wash, and deodorant finally did their job: they got a girl to notice me. Too bad the girl was my grandma. FML

Tell her to go change her diaper, that's the "curious" smell.

ok her grandmother may have been a little out of line, but that is no reason to insult her, not all of the elderly wear diapers and to any other person's variation of diaper pull up or soiling herself shame on you

Considering that old people tend to lose their sense of smell, if you're rank enough that Granny had to sit you down, get your fat ass into the shower!

The sad thing is it's a little true my friend is a little over wait since she had her kids well like 156 pounds added to her 100 so now she is doesn't like to bathe for days or wash clothes so now most of her things smell like period.I've even offered to let her use my washer and dryer

Actually, she is right. On the less hygienic morbidly obese, fungus can grow in the folds of their skin where light seldom reaches. It is kinda smelly as well.

Thats teribe. Don't let what she said get ou dwn. Some people have no filter and don't think. SHe seems pretty judgemental and I know she is family, but try not to let it affect your own feelings negativiely!
