It's just not on.

Either it's people coming in hungover and stinking the place out with drink...

or... the canteen lady was in for a few minutes and the place stinks of grease...

or... people who simply smell. There was a guy in one morning before I got to work getting first aid on his foot and sitting on my chair. My space stank for the entire day after that :o and I mean I was gagging! It smelled like rotten socks filled with dead animals.

And I know people think it's me every fucking time... there's no air conditioning so if people come in smelling, the smell stays and I'm starting to feel sick now :eek:

    The bad smells in my office are due to bad hygiene and people cooking nasty food in the Microwave.

    I mean reheating the 2 day old leftover salmon is not proper office etiquette.
    NERDS!

    URGH... don't get me started on fish in the office microwave :eek: that shit should be illegal... cos the canteen door is right beside my desk so then I smell like a fucking fishmonger for the day... it's just not fair :mad:

    oh eww!!

    I'm sorry for you Helen, I really am.. :o thank god there are no stinky people here! :eek: the occasional customer might have forgotten all about personal hygiene but nothing worse than that.

    but when I was working at a liquour store.. jaysis! and sometimes the money stinky people give stinks too and it might be all sticky and grimey. *shrudders*


    I feel so bad for saying stinky people.. but.. it's true. I wonder if they notice it themselves?

    what are md's? :o All I can think is managing director but it must be 'medical... ' something? :confused:

    but yep, we have people here who make your eyes water. You can imagine on a building site, some of the guys come from eastern europe or wherever on their own. No wives to wash their clothes for them or to remind them to give a fuck. So they simply DON'T wash or change their clothes :o seriously, I've seen some guys wear the same clothes EVERY day for the entire time they're here :eek: it's simply disgusting.

    they couldn't possibly notice... there's no way they'd allow themselves go around like that if they knew. If you wear the same clothes every day for months or even years... I'm sure they get to that state eventually. But yeh, when I was hungover on Friday I bought plenty of bottles of water from the canteen... and I could smell the grease on the bottles as I was drinking :o ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

    md is medical doctor Helen.

    and I work in a mental health community team at the moment..some of the clients coming in have not had showers for months from the smell!
    I can't imagine how the social workers and nurses manage to sit in a small room with them without throwing up!

    not really :o

    I could have a fan alright but it would just blow the air around... there is NO air conditioning in the office. There is a door to the outside about 20ft from my desk but it does fuck all... cos my office is the first and there's another 7 or so offices behind so the smells just kinda linger :o at least to the point where even I don't notice them anymore... but i'm sure they're still there :o

    You need to get some air fresheners for the office or something but then you'll just end up with a flowery fruity fish body odor smell lol.

    There is someone in my office (and I know who it is) that stinks up the bathroom every single day! There are no windows to air it out. What does she freakin eat that stinks like that? I walk in and immediately walk right back out of the bathroom gagging. Of course most of the time when you walk back out some else is walking in so you have to say 'that wasn't me' lol. But we do warn each other. If someone goes into the bathroom and it stinks bad we tell everyone 'code brown' lol.

    ah I was thinking medical doctor but thought it was too simple.

    or some older people in shops :eek: . I remember one woman... there was quite a queue for the tills and she went and just stood near the top of the queue. I was wondering why til the smell hit me. Everyone cleared away so she got to skip the queue. Seriously people had to leave the shop. I felt sorry for the girl having to serve her. Nobody should have to. She had... what I can only describe as 'things' in her hair :o . She had tights (stockings) hanging out of her clothes :confused:

    :o really? I musta been lucky when I was there... or just completely oblivious... but I usually notice these things.

    evenkat that's why air freshener isnt' a good idea either... the cleaning lady often sprays that stuff in the morning and it's way too strong.

    I don't understand how people can just throw away the smelliest things into the trash can and not realize that's a bad idea. One week I saw some uneaten sushi in the garbage can on a Monday (trash not picked up until the next weekend).

    People are just clueless.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
