QUESTION: do people who have an "odor" to them know

ACK! i am gonna puke...
I work in an office where we have customers come in for various reasons and several of them have a very strong, awful odor to them. Not even BO, just a smell almost like garbage.

Do you think people who do have those kind of issues know they smell?

It mean but, we have to open all the doors and use that air sanitzer stuff the rest of the day.
 
BO is noticable by the person that is emitting it, but from personal experience a person's "house odor" smells normal to that person. So if their house stinks, then they'll have a stinky odor regardless of the already stinky BO 😛


Get some spray-deodorant 😀
 
Our Sunday School teachers complain about how the children and boys in general emmit a special "Boy odor" .... not so much B.O. (bad) but a certain smell...
 
Almost as bad as BO is excessive perfume/cologne. This is especially the case with old ladies who think its nice to dump a bottle of cheap perfume over their bodies every day.

i wish... we "warn" each other when we see someone we know that smells is walking up. its to the point sometimes that we have to breathe through our mouths until they leave. there is no way your insurance agent should have to tell you you smell
 
🙁

Back when I worked at sears I had to deal with that.

Some people seem to think that everyone else enjoys their macabre aftershave that they put on by the pint, in lieu of bathing.
 
Spray them in the eyes with lysol deoderizor. They'll get the message. Or go blind...I can't really remember.
 
I had to work with someone who had a really bad BO all the time. It would be 8am and he would already have it even after taking a shower & putting on deodorant. My boss had to sit down and have a 30 minute conversation with him about his hygiene

Cheers PingSpike :beer:
 
I was at a computer lab once where this person has the worst breath I've ever smelled. Each time this person would open his mouth to talk the air would fill with stench. He was sitting one person over too.

ever been to a ball pen or indoor play thing at a fast food restaraunt?

all people stink. in fact, its been demonstrated that dogs don't particularly like people smell, almost in the same way we don't like dog smell.
I've also noticed that people of different ethnic origins smell differently. It could be due to a variety of factors including diet, fabrics, other household or personal materials, and most certainly genetics. i am very sensitive to odors and the worst in my opinion is a mix of cologne and B.O. coming from a male. For some reason, women B.O doesn't bother me as much, particularly if it is mixed with perfume.

in most cases, people are generally unaware of their particular smell. if you take a long hard whiff of your pillow, you will probably find it quite 'nice'. if you did so to another's pillow, you'd think it was strange or nasty unless you've adapted to it (in the case of a long-time lover). the only smell i can detect on myself comes from my underarms when I forget to put on an antiperspirant. I can't stand it even on myself for too long.

well yeh, to a degree, and then it just stinks.
a light sun-kissed sweat smell on a guy who just biked over to see me is real nice.
 
I have a smell, but it's pretty mild. I can't remember who told me or when, but that's the only way I know. Fortunately my underarm deodorant is more powerful than the smell, or maybe it works with the smell. Whatever the case, I've been complimented on my cologne, which turned out to be Right Guard Sport scent. 😛

I know what you mean... :disgust:
 
Okay, I dont know about dogs...but this is really weird. My ex-gfs cats love the smell of my armpits. No, I am not kidding. Once they caught a wiff they would bury their noses into my armpits. Not that I want women to do it, but it would be nice if women were all over me like that. I know its weird, but I guess I should have been born a cat.

This it too true. It's funny watching the old women at department stores spraying themselves with every perfume in sight.
 
I was born cursed with an acute olfactory sense (no really).

I can tell the 'meat and potatoes' crowd from the vegetarians just by walking around them. Walking through the 'perfume' areas of department stores is roughly the same as getting a mild dose of pepper spray to the nose and eyes. The worst thing is being able to tell when my female coworkers are uhh, droppin eggs (it's like copper meets cinnamon). There's one guy in my office who has the most disturbing case of halitosis I've ever encountered, I can literally tell where he's been walking from the afterstench of his open gob. Yuck.

Most times, people who reek (be it a perfume ladden granny, or some dude sweating kimchi) are completely oblivious to it.


There should be some kind of law requiring citizens to shower and floss at least once a day. :|
