People Who Smell Bad. Would You Tell Them?

I imagine it is a mental health issue and not really a "choice" to live that way so to speak.

I will not say anything to her because I have to act professional but she must know from everyone's expressions they are not pleased to be in the same vicinity.

I have a friend who smells horrible. He showers, does his laundry...yet he stinks to high heaven. I remember one time we were going out in college and we were all nervous about bringing him because there would be girls. My roomate and I (subtly, believe it or not) took an entire can of axe and made believe we were spraying the room, but were really aiming it at him when he wasn't looking. It still didn't really help.

 

We never told him because we just never had the heart to. I think that's just his natural odor. I don't see him nearly as much as I used to, but he still has that problem.

Wow, sounds as though some people suffer no matter what they do. Unfortunately this woman does look dirty and her clothes smell extremely unclean. She doesn't smell of body odour and it has gone past dirt. She smells like rotting fish. If she makes the effort to try to mask it then I don't understand why she can't have a quick bath with a cheap bar of soap.

So - you want to tell your customers what you really think of them? You'll be out of business in no time. Unfortunately your best option is to grin and bare it

No, I never mentioned telling her. I asked if other people would tell someone they smell. Best to re-read my post.
