Have you ever told someone they stink?

I'm not talking about friends, we've all told our buddies they reek like an armpit simmering in a batch of eggs in the hot sun, and we've all told our girlfrineds they smell like day old crotch-rotted cottage cheese mixed with bologna.

I'm talking about the "aquaintances" you might know from work or other places.

If you did tell them, what was their response?

A guy I worked with smelled like fecal matter. I never worked up enough nerve to say anything about it. I don't know if I should have said anything.

Almost 10 years ago I worked for a major insurance company. We had a guy that smelled so bad, his manager install an air freshner near his desk (the kind that spray a fresh scent every so many seconds.)

Nope, this wasn't an younger guy either...he was in his mid-50s. Sad really.
 
Last time that happened to me I dropped this basket of soaps and deodorants on the guys desk with a the note "use it"
Everything was fine after that.
Dont think you need so far as it write use it on the package, the soap and deodorant should be message enough.

I worked at a record store with a hippie who "didn't believe in" deodorant. They finally let him go because he didn't meet the "grooming standards" outlined in the employee handbook.

I know it sounds cruel, but the guy was actually a pretty serious distraction, both to employees and customers. It was difficult to function around him, especially when working with customers in his vicinity. In all fairness, he did shower every couple days.

The award, however, goes to a cook and waitress couple at a restaraunt I bussed at in high school. These two skunks stank more than any other human being I've ever encountered... we're talking stomach-churning vomit-inducing RANK. The manager never did anything about, possibly because he was only a few steps behind them in the hygiene department. That restaraunt was THE. WORST. place to work...
 
Cologne can be worse than BO IMHO. The worst thing though, is foul mouth odor when someone talks to you. Yuck.

In some cases, it can be. Especially when someone goes overboard with the stuff. The exception are colognes like Brut. They smell bad in all cases.
