have you ever knew someone with bad breath or body odors?????

I have been very lucky in life to not know someone who really smells, but my boyfriend is not so lucky, he is the boss for the pizza stands at our local arena, one of his employees is named Shelly, but she is known by everyone as "Smelly Shelly", he says her body odor is so bad that no-one wants to be within a few feet of her,,,,,,he had to take her aside one day and tell her that part of the work protocol was to make sure to put deodorant on before work.....but yet she still smells......so my suggestion is go to your boss and just say somthing cuz they are the only one that can say something without really hurting feelings or causing tension

I think most of the people who have body odors know themselves.but as a characteristic in born,they have any solutions.so we should understand them and endure them to lossen them,if you cann't bear it,i suggest you apart from them. happy everyday!

Yes one of my friends use to have bad breath and bad teeth it looked liked he smoked a lot but I know he never smoked since I use to hang out with him a lot and he never smoked once around me. But I guess he had bat breath because he didnt brush his teeth wich is what im guessing why.

Yeah!I have tried it to my neighbor. She's nice to look but smells bad breath. And it's hard to tell the truth you know.

lord yes. i do tell some people that they smell and others i dont. depend who they are and how they will take it

I met a girl with stange body odor on one of my alternative courses in my first grade in university. I sat beside her on the first class ,thus, getting to know her. Since then, she used to save me a seat beside her everytime we had the class. I didnt have the guts to tell her the fact that I dont want sit near her becuase of her body odour. So... What a torture!

Telling someone they smell is a really hard thing to do. I know I would not be able to tell someone that they smell. Does this person appear to try to be clean? Does she wear clean clothes and does her hair appear to be clean? If this is the case, then perhaps she has a medical condition that makes her smell.

I have encountered persons with both a body odor and bad breath but I can say from now that its hard to actually talk to them about it. As someone suggested before speaking to the boss/manager may be a good route to go as its more in their authority to speak to employees about certain things.

Maybe she can't help it. My exhubby had a body odor problem. He could have just gotten out of the shower & 15 minutes later he stunk to high heaven. He could bathe 10 times a day & he still smelled. Nothing seemed to help him!!! He knew he had the problem, but he didn't know what to do about it. So, telling him he smelled bad would NOT have helped anything!!! My brother has bad breath. He brushes his teeth several times a day & he keeps breath freshener in his pocket all the time. He says he would have preferred somebody tell him that he had a problem earlier so he could have done something about it. His wife finally told him. I have a friend with bad breath & I approached her directly about it, She said she appreciated it as there was no way for her to smell her own breath. I don't know that I'd say anything to the person with the body odor because they can probably smell themselves & just don't know what to do about it. However, I feel just the opposite about the bad breath. I'd probably mention it to them politely because they can't smell their own breath.

Yeah !!! i know ,one of my friend have this problem.Sometimes it is irritatable too because he talks to me face to face very nearer.So it is a big problem for me to talk with him.One fine day ,i made him to watch a dental program in tv.He knew his problem and answer.So he followed some medication and reduced it.

There was a co-worker whose personal hygiene was something of a forgotten thing. There was this one time he wore the same shirt for about 2 weeks and the shirts are blue but on the back of his shirt it was stained with sweat...badly! Thing that got me is he seemed proud of it. So disgusting! luckily he doesn't work with me anymore lol

I used to have a co-worker who had a bad body odor. You could smell him from one or two meters away. And he is a nice guy. We tried to ignore it but one day, two of my co-worker decided to take action by sending him a mysterious text message saying that the people in the office is feeling uncomfortable about his condition and advice him to do something about it. Then two or three days later, every time he walks by or when we talk to him, there's no more of that smell. Later on I found out about the text message and everyone in the office is so excited and feels happy about it. Sadly, it didn't last long. About 2 or 3 months later, he started smelly again. We didn't know why this is happen. I guess in a weird way he won. :)

Yes,I have met some people with body odors.At that time I did't know how to tell the ones but endure the smells.I think it is hard to speak out the matter.I will hurt the ones.Do you think so? Maybe she knows she has body odors but she just don't know how to deal with. Maybe you can buy a bottle of perfume to her.

I went to school with a girl who always always had bad breathe! I offered her gum, mints, etc, and even after having something like that she still had really bad breath. I think some people just have bad breath and bad smells that they can't help. It is hard to say what you do to approach the subject with them because you don't want to upset them or offend them, but personally if it was me I would want to know that I was smelling. Maybe a nice approach to it.. and just be honest.

Well. if it's someone I know well, and they don't always have bad breath, then I'll tell them because I know they'd apreciate being told.

The problem with people with body odors is, they don't even realize it. I don't think we have the heart to tell them either. I used to have a friend with this problem. I can't be apart with her as we're quite close and hang out for lunch or discussion about work. I tried to give her a hint but she never notice it (or she pretend to ignore but I don't know about that part) In the end, I never managed to tell her about that at all.

yeap lot of them , you do one thing , just when you guys are relaxing , start a topic about perfumes, deos etc, casually ask them their opinion but be very careful in being very polite and also casual and tell about how you appreciate people who use scents and talk about people who you know have tried some good perfumes and all that that will definetly do the trick

i had this experience when i played basketball with my former students. we went to one of my student's place where we played 4 on 4 half court game. since we were short of players, my student asked some of his neighborhood friends to come along and join us. and this is where it all began... i have a decent jumping ability so i played the position near the basket. at one stretch in the game, our friendly neighbor-playmate made a strong move towards the basket. since i am his defender, i quickly reacted and jump to try and block his shot. a little air collision happened and suddenly i felt weak going back to earth. yup, his armpits possess something "strong" which really affected my game. sadly, we lost. but hey, it was just a friendly game anyway. as much as i want to make a comment about it, i simply cant at that time. i am a newbie in their area, so discussing such issue might start a fight. we just hope that he realized how much his body smells, since our feet were planted on the ground everytime he raises his hand. personal hygiene is a form of responsibility. well, until you realize it for yourself. too bad we weren't that close enough for me to tell him about the "powers" he possess. if you cant tell the person directly about it, i guess its better to let it pass... in our case, we let them win the game...
