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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had a terrible stomach ache and had some pretty bad gas at work. I tried to head down to the basement for a while to allow my coworkers to continue in peace. About an hour after I came back up, my boss called pest control due to the horrible smell that "must be dead rats". 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, my roommate stunk up the entire floor again with his rancid bathroom trips from spicy foods so much that I ended up wearing a t-shirt over my nose just to play video games in my own room. He gets offended when I tell him to open the bathroom window to vent it out. If only I owned my own home… FML
Today, I woke up feeling extremely nauseous. When I started to feel better, I felt like I needed to spit. I went into the bathroom and opened the toilet to see someone had taken a giant crap the night before and forgotten to flush. The smell made me vomit all over my feet. FML
Today, I threw up while on a road trip. My boyfriend asked what made me sick, but I didn't want to tell him that his belching the entire time smelled so goddamn bad it made me physically sick. FML
Today, at the coffee shop where I work, my supervisor smelled "something weird, like sulfur." I spent the next ten minutes pretending to look for the source of the smell with her, rather than admit that it had come from me. FML
Today, I got a new roommate in the dorms. When I got back to my room, I could smell her feet before I even opened my door. FML
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 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think he would prefer you tell him than let him walk around smelling that badly. He could get fired if it's as bad as you say and customers smell it. Just be polite about it and he'll likely just say thanks and go have a shower.

He might of gotten used to his stink and doesn't smell it anymore. He might be embarrassed that he smells that bad but it's better that you tell him than it be some random person or a girl he's trying to pick up.

@#24 it wouldn't be awkward for the boss to fire him for smelly feet. many jobs require you to be well groomed and presentable. bad body odor is no bueno

I have a friend with smelly feet and she keeps her shoes in her locker at work. Someone left a note asking if she could at least take her socks home. She did it without complaints. No hard feelings. You should do the same. It might be better coming from you than from a workmate.

Yikes, must be wearing the Same socks over again cause my bf works as a laborer for a mine and never came home with his feet smelling that badly even after 12 hours in the hot sun

That he works long hours just makes it easier for you to tell him because it's a readymade excuse - it's not like you're just saying he has horrible feet, even if that is the case. If it was an occasional one off thing then you could ignore it but if it's regular you really should mention it. I'm sure he'd hate for you to constantly suffer and think about behind his back it like that.

Just break it to him gently. It's better to tell him than to let him go around with stinky feet and not know about it! It'll be really embarrassing if someone said it to him in a rude or aggressive way. Spare him and tell him politely now so he won't go through that later.

ive had stinky feet and never reuse dirty socks i actually scrub my feet twice in the shower so it has nothing to do with the socks sometimes

No, you tell him, I live with someone who smells like he showers once a year. I have to spray rooms he goes into just so the stink goes away!

did *you* tell him?

Unless he never showers or cleans his feet, or the smell is actually coming from his shoes, his feet shouldn't stink at that level. Tell him tactfully, he probably has athletes foot or some kind of infection that could get worse.
