Sha Bu Le Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Bad smells don't bother me too much, I've had hardly any sense of smell since I was about 30. I know if I can smell something then others are really suffering. Down side is I miss all the nice smells and have to rely on memory...........strange how remembering a smell almost makes it seem real.

I used to work with a lad that would smell of stale BO, I popped a can of right guard in one coat pocket and a bar if soap in another. Sorted. Interesting that Dougy, I had a similar situation to solve many years ago in a weaving mill, a rather fragrant lady weaver! Carbolic soap the saviour. Repels odour, rats and cockroaches. What's not to like? No superbugs around either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonty Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I once got pulled for speeding (I was bang to rights) but the thing that was worse than the points or the fine was the 15 minutes I spent in the police car with the most eye wateringly smelly traffic cop. I've never smelt stale BO like it. He must have had a 100% conviction rate ..... Where do I sign - just let me out of this blinking car!! I'm usually up front with people, but on that occasion, I felt that sharing my concerns about his personal hygiene would have just got me into hot water, which ironically, along with a bar of soap, he could have done with.

Vince Green Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Its funny though, when I was a lad growing up people had one bath a week. Deodorant was unheard of and men wore shirts for days at a time, even in summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hambone Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Bad BO is offensive but the other side of the coin is the over perfumed (both men and women) that make your eyes water. I refer to it as instead of wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandalf Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Sweat on a human body is a natural aroma. We are designed to smell like that. Stale sweat on three day old clothes is another matter all together. We were doing OK until we got cold or got embarrassed about looking at each others bodies.

Like the smell of the office wollars at our place that come down on the shop floor looking like a male model out of Kay's catalogue smelling like something off a gay pride float. 23 hours ago, Grandalf said: Sweat on a human body is a natural aroma.

Breastman Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 You want to try being at school with someone with Trimethylaminuria or Fish Odour Syndrome, locked in a portacabin on plastic seats in the baking summer sun for hours on end! A poor lass at my school had it and you could smell her coming before you saw her, horrendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Whilst there is an army of the great unwashed, body odour can, in many cases, be caused by medical problems. This of course could be helped by a can of Lynx and remembering where not to ****.

TriBsa Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Quote A study has found that the more a person is revolted by the smell of body odour and urine the more likely they are to be right wing and want to secure national borders. Research conducted by the University of Stockholm, Sweden, also found that left-wingers were less revolted by bad personal hygiene, reports MailOnline. Psychologists believe that it represents a deep-rooted “defence mechanism” against contagious diseases. Indeed, a Royal Society paper proposed in 2011 that disgust “evolved to motivate infectious disease avoidance”. The study’s author, Dr. Jonas Olofsson, said: “There was a solid connection between how strongly someone was disgusted by smells and their desire to have a dictator-like leader who can suppress radical protest movements and ensure that different groups ‘stay in their places’. “That type of society reduces contact among different groups and, at least in theory, decreases the chance of becoming ill.” http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/03/01/people-revolted-body-odour-likely-right-wing/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
