What ethnicity and what smell?

If he is Indian, he would have to change his entire diet.

Yea Injins smell so bad.

And their food looks like pig slop.

Indian food is some of my favorite chow. Mexican edges it out slightly, but it's still a great favorite of mine.

Is this really true? How can food give you a permanent BO smell?

It comes out of your pores. Garlic and fish are big offenders, but other spices do it also.

Punch him in the neck.

HR, make them do something useful for once

We're too busy thinking up inane policies to make your lives miserable to be useful. Now leave me alone, I'm writing a policy requiring employees to sacrifice their first born child to the CEO.

There's a medical condition that I can't recall the name of which causes clean people to stink. I don't know if there's treatment for it, but he may be aware of the problem, but unable to do anything about it.

I work with jr/sr high kids at my church and one of the junior highers has this issue. Also has a complete Asperger's (sp?) level lack of social skills (babbles constantly about stuff nobody but him cares about, doesn't let anyone get a word in edgewise and is incapable of joining a regular conversation.) I can't imagine having to get through middle and high school with that particular combination of handicaps. Would be really tough.

i said somethign to the people at the gym and he said 'yea we can't say anything to him unless we have written complaints from members otherwise they can call it harassment. we have had people ask us about him before and know he smells.'

so myself and like 3-4 other guys i lift weights with wrote little notes that day and left them at the front.

i haven't seen the guy since.

LOL! Nice pairing.

Curry. Oh man. I used to work at a college library and whenever an Indian student came in (and there were a lot; it was the science and engineering library), they smelled like curry.

In a similar note, how do you tell a new coworker to start chewing their food with their fucking mouth closed?

This happens too often in the places where I work. ....and they're always Chinese, for some reason.

Dear Coworker,

Welcome to Stinktown.

Yeah, lots of Chinese eat with their mouths open. Pretty gross, seems to be a cultural thing. I had to train my wife (chinese) not to do it...but then there's the rest of her family. They're fun to have around for dinner. An entire table full of open mouth eaters that love to eat fish.....

 

[BoomerD]

Keep a can of air freshener on your desk. When he comes to visit, start spraying...HIM.

 

[Phokus]

have all the co-workers fart in his face

You should show up to the next family dinner with a welding mask over your face :laugh:

Every time he comes around sniff the air and ask what stinks.

 

[fisheerman]

No lie i came in this morning and I could smell that he had been through.

I asked one of my coworkers and they said yeh he was looking for you about 20 minutes ago.

20 minutes........how can someone have funk that lingers for 20 minutes.

That's what I thought of when I saw "spray" and "axe" in the same sentence

I just watched American Psycho again recently. Great movie with great music

 

[TechBoyJK]

Next time you see him ask (with a genuine look of concern)

"man, did you step in dog shit or something?"

 

[SonnyDaze]

I have a coworker like this. We started putting stick ups, air freshener and deodorant on his desk. He never said anything so I'm guessing he knew he had the funk problem. He smells a little better now.

Send the dude an email with a link to this thread?
