As a joke we called him "Mr Propre" (like the cleaning product) because he stank, wore the same stuff for days...
Spotting him at the canteen used to make me feel sick.
This eejit once sat next to me and i left pretending i had errands to do - nearly threw up.
He got kicked out of the compnay for cheating on his travel expenses.
One of the worst smells ever is the one of stale sweat. If you sweat on a warm day, it's ok but if you put on the same clothes and sweat in them for days, it just gets unbearable. Some years ago, I met an extreme example in a supermarket. I was looking for something in the freezer thingie, and suddenly there was an odd smell. I then looked up and realised that the smell must come from a man on the other side, probably about 30 metres away. And just to test, I went a little closer and suddenly wished I'd never done so. It smelled like he hadn't been near a shower or clean clothes for weeks. I don't think he was homeless at all, just not good with personal hygiene. It was odd to see how the supermarket was quite busy, but he got all the space he wanted. |

Hahaha ! This ex-colleague was lethal i swear.
He'd wear the same outfit monday through friday - even with outside temperature reaching 30°.
I used to say his suits were so stiff they didn't need a hanger in his closet.

You'd have to be just as unwashed to be married to a man like him. |
