I think i've talked about this already here, but reality always keeps on reminding this topic to me, unfortunately lol. I'm sure that many of you have the typical work mate that really stinks, always has that sweat smell that you cannot stand. Or those customers that apparently don't know what a shower is.
Well the fact is that i do, and i hate it because it really makes me feel uncomfortable, specially when the person is nice. Why? because that person will act all friendly to me and get close to me, and i really have a hard time trying not to breathe their unbearable aroma.
What do you do with these people who stink? do you try to tell them nicely? do you just shut up and put up with it?

I do not have experience to get along with somebody smell bad. But one of my friends have the experience, she said the the smell is so terrible, she told the guy with the bad smell, 'leave me alone'. But the guy still stayed there, my friend could not put up with it. She kicked out the guy.

well see, that's what i don't want to have to do, telling the person to get out of my sight....besides sometimes it's impossible because it's a customer or something like that. Anyway, I'm glad you have been so lucky hehe.

Sorry, I did not think over about this.
If the costomer or somebody smell bad, and you have to recieve him, just put up with it.
But I think somebody wants to make a good impression, so he must pay much attention to his words and deeds and dress.
Look on the bright sight, there are few people who has bad smell on his body.

well i would try to hold my breathe for as long as i could while being near that kind of person... and then perhaps eventually when we get a little closer like friends, perhaps i'll have to take the courage to tell the person as lovingly as possible :-)

well yeah, you really need courage for that. There are people who are very touchy and whose feelings can get hurt very easily, so it is with them that we must be extra careful, but well, shouldn't they be careful with us as well?

I won't just don't breath while I could still smell them. Most i the time, i move away from them so that i could not smell them and do something else or appear busy. I really hate it but its one of the fact of life that i get to deal with everyday. Also, I don't want to appear prejudiced but i found a certain group of people, who just smell bad. I think its because of what they eat or their diet. They have too strong a smell for me to bear. Way back in college, I almost fainted because one foreign student entered and he has such strong body odor. Most of my countrymen comments on it and sometimes jokes about it because we found them to really smell bad.
