yes it bothers me.

I work with people everyday and it is just nausating when people come in and sit down and they smell. There is really no excuse for it.

There was this one kid in my high school years who was:

1. Fat
2. Stupid
3. Smelled of B.O hardcore
4. Name was "Gordon Gibbs" but preferred the name "Chipper"
5. Did I mention he was stupid?

Anyways he used to get picked on alot by the "cool" crowd (surprise) He used to get so pissed he would throw fits and toss desks across classrooms and such. He started a few fights with me also. (to which I promptly kicked his dirty ass) The weird part was that I thought it may have been his family was this way but turns out his brother came into high school a few years later and he was clean and a cool kid. No idea.

I can still remember when I was younger, this brother and sister coming onto the bus every morning with a serious cigarette stench. Obviously, they had parents that smoked and didn't care if it made the house, their clothes, their hair, etc smell.

I felt bad for them because how are they supposed to avoid not smelling?

It's not BO but still smells as bad as BO.

BO = teh suck. On crowded buses it is the worst, thats when you start breathing out of your mouth and try and move upwind.

People w/ B.O. = Me bothered. Deodorant isn't that freakin' expensive so slap some on already! What's almost worse is people who have B.O. but try to cover it up with perfume or body sprays. It's like throwing an air freshener on a pile of sh$t.

Are you lazy or what? Don't they have showers there? :disgust:

They have showers there yes, Im not saying I dont shower, Im just saying I wash my gym clothes once a week, I'm not there to impress anyone just get my workout and leave, I wear my gyms clothes for a week (just 2 hours every day)
