a real stinking person with all his clothes dirty comes and sits beside you when you are travelling in a bus or train or when you are sitting in a park. will you allow him to sit near you? or will you scold him not to sit beside you or will you walk out off that place??

I would proberly walk away from him and try to find somewhere else to sit. I don't want to be rude but at the same time I don't like smelling someone who is unclean either. I can understand just getting off of work and being unclean but at the same time there is a way to get a little clean before being around others.

Unless it is too inconvenient or impossible, I will usually move away. But I will NOT move away immediately. I will instead wait a decent amount of time and move away quietly withOUT looking at him and making him feel embarrassed. Courtesy is all about not making people feel uncomfortable so I don't want to give him or others the impression that I am moving away because of him (despite that being the real reason).

I guess I would move to another place or seat. Not many people travel dirty but then there is always a chance of this happening. I don't think I would say anything because I wouldn't know what predicament they were in. I would just look for another place and move there, if possible.

I cant tolerate stinky smell and hence i will defintely move from that place..Its quite difficult to tolerate this and sit embrassingly beside such kind of people..i commute by bus and this kind of incident happen rarely...even if i dont get a seat i never mind to stand and travel rather to tolerate sitting with stinky and dirty looking people.

I would move. Why would I have to sit next to them and suffer when I can move and be away from the smell. I don't want to sit and smell them. Just like if a smoker sat next to me and started smoking. It affects my health so why do I have to be subjected to it? I wouldn't say anything to them but just get up and walk away.

Me and my friends usually see those near our school. We get so creeped out sometimes that we just tend to stay away from them. Whenever they come within a hundred feet or so from us, we'd vacate the area immediately. We have nothing against them, it's just that you never know what they're up to or what's going on in their head. I mean, what sane person wouldn't take a shower? We even have this one guy we see almost everyday. He'd always be carrying this rock with him. Throwing it up and down. He's really dirty and looks like he hasn't taken a shower...ever. Ugh.
