Someone gots da FUNK
 

Ok.. now I know this is off topic .. even for an off topic board. But.. I really need an answer for this.

I have had this happen at various places. but mostly at work and anywhere that there are large numbers of geeks, gamers, comic bock fans and so forth.... could be because those are the places frequent but anyway


someone near me has hellacious body odor.. I mean my eyes are watering. I am afraid that if I breath in through my mouth. I will be able to taste it.. smells like onions and feet!

anyway. what is the best way to deal with this.. I mean when I was at the FF:spirits within preview.. someone had the funk so bad I was choking.. and I have been to conventions.. I made the one fatal mistake.. I inhaled...

but.. I don't really care if anyone feelings get hurt.. but I AM at work so I can just be rude.. so what is the nicest way to tell someone that they know not the meaning of the word soap.

I usally just say, god what crawled in you and died?!
or what the hell is that smell, than I stair at that person for a long time :D

Dammit MP!!!! I WAS JUST GOING TO START USING A LITA AVATAR!!!
/end rant

And Im better :)

Anyways, I agree with Tetsu, just do it on the sly

really! sorry about that.

hehe, that's ok :)

heh, there's plenty of me to go around.. :tangel:

the problem is that this happens at work. and I can't control who sits next to me. I work in a huge call center with hundreds of other tech support agents.. and let me tell you... these guys could REALLY use an introduction into hygene or somehting.. cause.. DAMN!

Blaze DTGG

...a...call center..?

You don't work for GC Services... do you?

My roommate stunk like ass last year... most horrific thing ever.

I work for Microsoft Tech support.. TECHNICALLY.. but I am employed by TPUSA
thats the call center I work at

but yeah... tech support sucks bad enough.. WITHOUT the funk

i have no idea if this would work, and it could possibly end up getting you fired, but go douse him with Febreeze :lol: . If that doesn't work though, go with Tetsu's idea. *nods*

If the people can be smelt that bad you would think they can smell themselves. So maybe they like the smell. Who knows. I know a few people that just live in filth and although it's unhealthy. They don't really care. Maybe put a few air fresheners on his desk and a note attached saying "Please clean yourself because I can smell you from here" Then put your name to it and when he turns to look at you just smile at him. :lol: I really don't know what you can do. Nothing you can do that won't upset him really. But you would think being in an office that big would make him be clean.

There are a number of ways to go about this.

Once a friend of mine sent flowers to a coworker of his that constantly reeked, with a not-so-nice little card full of hygiene tips. You could go all Martha Stewart on em and gift wrap some industrial strength deodorant in decorative tissue paper adorned with freshly picked wild flowers.

Or, anonymous post-it notes with "YOU STINK!" and a stick figure rendition of them with "wavy stink lines" marred all over it works too.

Your call.

You could have them read this thread. :lol:

I think you're taking your envy too far ;)

:lol:

these are all great ideas.. and its going to cost me a lot of money.. because it's not just one guy.. there seems to be atleast ONE stinky person in each section... overi n T3 its REALLY bad.. I cant even walk near that area without my eyes watering..

maybe I ccan have someone send out a floor wide email or memo

Or you could wear a necklace made of air fresheners.

*chuckles*

I dunno.. I am going to have to do something.. cause this is about to kill me.. Thankfully today I am sitting with my team and no one over here stinks.... but that doesnt mean that things wont change.. and really... its just awful

:lol: I think that would be the best way to go!
