Guy that doesn't shower

I know people who won't shower for chess tournaments purposely for like a month. The smell throws off the opponent. Damn geeks and their crazy strats.
 
The longest I have gone without a shower was 19 days during a field exercise in the army. With only 2 changes of clothes, things got pretty sticky.:disgust:

The one good aspect of it was that with being with 90 or so other people who also didn't shower, you kind of got used to the odor. After the first few days, the only time I really noticed it was when I first got home and I walked into a fresh smelling house. It was like a miasma of funk followed me through the door. My wife came to give me a hug to welcome me home, but she got within 6-7 feet of me and turned and walked the other way, saying that I wouldn't so much as see her until I took a shower.

Let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the feeling of having to peel your underwear off of yourself. Yeech! I think I ended up throwing those clothes out, IIRC.

Its been more than a week now, what happened with that guy?

Today is day 8. Still no replacement soap. We are going to let it go till day 14 before we confront him about it, to give him a chance to buy more....which we know he won't.
 
I know 3 indian guys that reek when approached. Not quite sure why. I am indian too, but I apparently dont (or I'm sure my gf would have told me). But I can say that eating a lot of spice does play havoc with the way your sweat smells.

One of the guys was my roommate and lived like a slob, had a shower every 3-4 days, after wich he looked visibly clean and refresed, but he just emanated that nasty BO. We used to say that it was his way of attracting women 🙂

EDIT: I do have to add that I know many indian ppl, but the majority are fine.
 
I had a friend who claimed he was a mercenary and only bathed on full moons...he said: "yeah, just keep a couple of rightguard spray cans handy"

doh!
 
My first year at college, I lived next to a dude who didnt' shower. His poor roomate was armed only with bottle of lemon lysol, and that didn't help at all. We learned to take the long way out of the building rather than walking past his door. Thankfully the smell couldn't penetrate the concrete walls. But I'm sure that only marginal protection.

Depending on the geekiness of the employees, an anonymous email may be more appropiate. She might read it.

 
Smelly people suck. I try and be compassionate to most types of people, but people that smell like ass because they don't wanna shower.. they suck. I had to sit next to the smelly kid in our class during my high school graduation, and I swear to god, he had to be sweating a monsoon underneath his robes and he hadn't had a shower in ages. His mom didn't shower either. She had something against soap, and I'm not kidding. I gagged a couple times and was seriously afraid I'd get physically sick while walking across stage or something.
 
why? there is like a week of school left. let the stinky bastard be.

edit: instead do what me and my roomie did to our stinky neighbors.

take a bottle of axe spray, take a quarter and put it on the little spray head where you push down. get yourself some duct tape, wrap the thing up so it's spraything, open his door, roll it under the bed. run! 😀

edit2: spraying
 
Its over. His roommate blew it. Rather than confront him about it, his roommate just said "oh here we found your soap". Note the kid still isn't showering. Failure, failure, failure. Stev0, we still have 5 more weeks slugger.
 
I DONT CARE WHAT HIS RACE IS.

Fact of the matter is he doesn't shower. He could be clear for all I care.
